This is such a good representation of asexuality. When I was realizing I was asexual, I basically went through the five stages of grief - I tried so hard not to be aro-ace. I was like maybe im just demi or greyromantic, like I wanted so badly to not be that because I loved the idea of romance, but whenever im in a relationship, I just feel trapped. But at the same time, I was relieved to finally understand why I am the way I am, and I was so happy to finally have a word for it. And the other character's reaction to her revealing her identity was actually my worst nightmare. I honestly don't think it was selfish of her to date him - I think she was still figuring shit out and she genuinely thought her feelings might change, so I don't think it was wrong to try dating him.
