It's an important part of my identity, and it may potentially complicate my life in the future, but on the other hand it's not complicating it now and it's not affecting me in a way that's really relevant to my interactions with my father. I usually find it easier to talk to my dad than my mum about most things, but sex-related questions have always been directed to my mum. I wear an asexual pride ring (black ring on the right-hand middle finger, not a very common sign but I saw somewhere it's coming into use) but most people, including my dad, don't know what it symbolises. If I was gay I'd have very little problem telling him, but I'm not sure if this is different - being gay affects the public part of one's romantic relationships, whereas if I was dating someone in meatspace there'd be no real public difference. To be honest I suspect not telling him would be a better option. I just feel a little guilty that I told Mum and not Dad. [/QB][/QUOTE]
