Finally, I sort the search feature by match percentage. When answering questions you have to answer for yourself and indicate how you want other users to answer. A more relevant example is an ace person might have no interest in sex.
Alternatively, an ace person might be interested in sex and answer the question to make sure their potential future date also is. Anything that appears in red text has been marked as unacceptable by the other user. You should answer at least questions, but only questions that really matter to you. You can sort questions by importance to you and importance to them.
Please note that the rest of the content in this blog post includes references to sexual acts, bdsm, and nonconsent. If you would like an altered list of theOkcupid questions so you can read them please let me know how I can filter them for you and I will do my best. You can list yourself as asexual on Okcupid which I actually choose not to do, maybe more on this later but unfortunately many of the questions are not inclusive of aces. I think this negatively affects sex-averse, sex-repulsed, and sex-neutral aces most obviously.
For some of the multiple choice questions there is no option to disclose that you do not want to have sex or do sexual acts. If you have an Okcupid account you can log in and click on the link to answer the questions I listed.
Would it be worse if they wanted you only for casual sex or if they were not interested in sex with you at all? How disappointed would you be?

It makes sense, in theory: Though many aces happily date outside the spectrum, a pool of like-minded users can be a more comfortable starting point. However, these sites often have their own pitfalls: unintuitive interfaces, binary gender options, and, perhaps most limiting of all, few active users.

But as with other ace-specific services, the user pool on ACEapp is still so small that it can be difficult to make IRL connections. And when multiple marginalized identities are in play, online dating is even more complicated. Consider your thoughts on being in a long-distance relationship. The best place to meet another asexual person is online. You might try meeting another asexual person on asexual-specific dating platforms.
