Asexuality Top 10: Number 5
Number 5: YOU'RE JUST AFRAID OF GETTING INTO A RELATIONSHIP.
This is number 5 in the Asexuality Top 10: The most common responses people give me when I say "I'm asexual."

Number 5: YOU'RE JUST AFRAID OF GETTING INTO A RELATIONSHIP covers what relationships are to me, and compares and contrasts types of relationships depending on what the involved parties want. It brings up romantic asexuals' desires and their ability to sustain a relationship, and why "platonic" doesn't cut it as a description of all non-sexual relationships because of its tendency to automatically reduce the importance in some people's minds.
To make a point, I quote a song in this video and sing a little bit of it. The song is "Fare Thee Well" by the Indigo Girls.
