He's funny, cute, and friendly, and I feel absolutely nothing sexual toward him. The feeling is in my chest, best expressed through my smile and slowed reaction time around him. I tell my friend J, who knows I'm ace, and she asks me, "Would you sleep with him?" ¶ I tell her, "I don't know, I might," and I want that maybeness to be true.
