I'm in my late 30's, demiromantic, not asexual (I'm not sure how to describe it, there's an obvious demisexual component but I don't think the label fits me), and unlike some demiromantics out there, I really want a romantic relationship. Except I need anywhere from 6 months to several years of friendship in order to develop romantic feelings, I have no goddamn idea how to turn friendship into romance (I also have trouble initiating casual non-sexual touch with anyone who isn't an established romantic partner), and most people seem to lose interest and stuff into the "just friends" box anyone who doesn't "act" within the first few weeks.
Any advice? Am I just supposed to get into relationships and break up when I get a sense that I won't be developing feelings (errrm)?
