One of my mates is like this. The only person he has ever been interested in is his biology teacher.

This troper had a case of this one time at his last job. He fell head over heels for this woman, and amidst a sea of beautiful and interesting women in both his work and social life, only seemed to pay attention to this one. Due to his {{Shrinking Violet}} nature, could not spit it out. :( Eventually, he got up the courage to do so, but that didn't turn out very well...

Aww... Your post just made me want to simultaneously cry and give you a hug. You'll find someone else.

In This Troper's opinion that kind of positive reinforcement is unadvised as it is healthier to accept the fact that you don't have a definitive chance at finding it than to trick yourself into thinking that it will all turn around.

This troper has pretty much this situation going with one of his friends; In over 25 years, she's the only person I've ever felt legitimate romantic attraction to. And because I ''went'' that long without dating, I had no idea how to deal with my feelings and when I actually confessed my feelings to her I totally blew it. Whoo-hoo. That said, we're still close friends and we still talk constantly, so it might be wishful thinking but I haven't given up hope on her...

EDIT: It was wishful thinking. I have no chance. Fuck. Time to see if I can't find a way to subvert this trope in my own personal life, I guess...

This Troper has this situation going on, before This Troper met Her He was anti-sexual (Think 1984's opinion on sex.) but since meeting her he feels like if it's with her it's okay. But sadly she has told this troper she doesnt want to lose me because Im emotionally important to her and that in the future it might happen.

These troper tales sound a lot like demisexuality. Anyone think we should make a Real Life section and add the link from my previous sentence?

Only attracted to close friends and people you have already formed emotional bonds to? Yep. I've had more of a Triple-Target-Sexuality technically, but not all at once, and breaking the obsession has been complete hell every time. It's worse when they're the ones who confess to liking you and let you believe it's all going to be fine before smashing it in your face . And another tries to get you to ask another guy out for her.

My cousin has a slight case of this which sometimes gets creepy and I personally am Gray-A but that doesn't really count.

May apply to one person I know.

My husband is like this. Before he met me, he had never had a girlfriend, and never chased after girls (or guys) at all. He says the moment he saw me, it was like a light switched on. It's a little odd, but we make it work.

This Troper is Bob-sexual but usually just refers to herself as asexual for the benefit of others understanding. Her "Bob" was pretty weirded out when he found out that she wasn't interested in sex. But he couldn't complain because he made a vow to stay a virgin until out honeymoon. And a note to all asexuals that adore cuddling, don't be too disheartened or offended if your beloved's parental units walk in on you two cuddling and don't believe that you were only cuddling.

This Troper is a very acute case of Kyo-sexuality. Before he met her, said troper was a a borderline asexual who sustained himself emotionally(NOT THAT WAY) with 2D girls. Ever since he met her and befriended her,that was it. I became completely insensitive to anyone else, no matter how attractive they were. Models and that Porn that my buds would occasionally show me would only earn my straight,bored face. She became the only one capable of turning me on...By smiling or just by just being there.It got to the point I've developed Kyo-specific fetishes (Foot and Hand fetish...Only if it's hers though)...I plan on confessing to her very soon. And no. To me, she's the only one.

This Troper, as mentioned in the If It's You TroperTales, is almost completely asexual and aromantic, except for his ex-girlfriend.

This troper is like this with her husband. He's not the only man she's ever found attractive, but he ''is'' the only lover she's ever had or can conceive of ever having in the future. Somewhat justified; he's the only one she can trust to be intimate with her semi-disabled body.

This troper, after starting to date his current girlfriend, finds it difficult to look at live-action porn or hentai (especially if it involves rape). He also finds it quite difficult to express finding other women attractive, even if they're fictional characters (on the basis that they're simply not her), which is funny because she fangirls over yaoi and various characters and Asian singers.
