Idea: You know how there are dating apps for asexual beings, such as A.C.E. and AceSpace? I feel like there should be a âdatingââor, rather, connectingâapp for loveless and alovespec beings who desire some type of connection with others. You would be able to select what types of connections/bonds you want (e.g. romantic, sexual, platonic, familial, queerplatonic, alterous, ally, just chatting/hanging out, etc.) and display those on your profile. Also, maybe you can also choose whether you want to display your favorabilities for different types of relationships, including loving ones? There would also be the other typical stuff (what are your orientations, gender(s) (if you have one(s)/label yours), pronouns, etc.). I think there should also be options that display if youâre unsure about any of these categories, and options to display how you prefer to label your relationships. And whether you display or even enter any of these things is optional, since stuff you want to keep personal should be kept personal.
On a connecting app like this, thereâd be no pressure or expectation to love the beings you connect with. You could have any kind of loveless partnership youâd like, or maybe you could love the being you connect with, but thereâs no pressure for said being to love you back if they donât. Because weâd all understand that this is explicitly a space for those who have complicated/non-normative or nonexistent relationships with love.
Of course I know this kind of thing wonât be appealing to all alovespecs and loveless beings, but I also know nothing can appeal to everyone in a community. Plus, itâs something that would appeal to me, and I canât be the only one because if thereâs one, thereâs bound to be more.
