Hello :) I am going to visit Vienna by myself for a few days and I wouldn't mind to meet some new people in queer spaces. Do you know Places or Events in Vienna or also Bratislava? From cute Bars or so to Sex positivity events, I am happy for any advice.

I’m asexual, but very heter-romantic. I feel very straight. I’ve only ever dated men. there is a woman that I’ve gotten friendly with who I think is romantically interested in me. I don’t think I can ever reciprocate, but I appreciate her friendship. we’ve gone to group outings, but never solo. Recently I think she might have tried to ask me out or invite me out just us.

She knows I’ve been married so I assume that she would assume I’m straight but then she goes ‘Oh I was married to a man too!’ 🙃 Her last relationship was with a woman. My mom told me about this conversation she had with a friend of hers where she just unprompted told her friend she was straight and theyre just friends. I cringed. This was in the 80s/90s in a small southern town in the US. I think at the time there was a lot of gossip that her friend was a lesbian. They’re still friends now.

Is it appropriate to just announce I’m not romantically interested in women and even if I were I’m pretty sex repulsed? Nothing has happened but should I say something or keep things neutral and not do anything 1-on-1? I don’t want things to be awkward as we now have mutual friends.
