Everything that helps you become more you is a good thing in my book. But personally, I don't define as asexual externally because it'd mean replacing one set of wrong assumptions with another set of only slightly less erroneous assumptions. (Nevermind that in RL, no-one would know what that term's supposed to mean, anyway, so no clarifying factor beyong what people know about me anyway at all.)

Anecdotally, I do think there's a large "non-asexual-identified" group in fandom who live sexually/are very much interested in sex -- just not in sex with other people, period. Heh. (I do know that this is covered by the asexual spectrum, but as a fringe thing, and definitely not the main connotation, so.)

Anyway, I'm rambling. But then, I did find it very freeing to know for myself that no, I really, really, really haven't simply "met the right one yet". Or for getting rid of any lingering guilt for not going out and trying to meet ~the one~ XD (Even though my mother's a bit worried about me, haha, but I think I successfully conveyed to her that any sort of partnership wouldn't succeed in making me any happier or more complete than I am ever likely to be on my own.)

(Of course it sucks that most cohabitation arrangements after uni are centered around partnerships x_x but that's neither here nor there.)
