The maker of this video may be off on a few key points, but Asexuals, particularly Romantic Asexuals, know that being Asexual does not always mean that a person is forever alone. On the other hand, this video does not always adequately address the problems with finding Asexual relationships.
The 3-minute clip is not meant to be an extensive guide to relationships, however. Youtube's fifteen minute maximum video length prevents any vlogger from discussing issues in great depth.

Sexual advice columnists have given a lot of advice to Asexual people in recent months. Some of it is good and some of it is terrible. Even the Guardian's advice column tackled the moral issues, but they did not do it well. All of the post, including a recent issue from Scarleteen underscore a deeper need in the Asexual community. There needs to be an Asexual Advice columnist who understands relationships and can navigate complicated human relationships.
Because the Asexual community exists almost entirely online, this is not as easy as it might seem. A large portion of the community are introverts, and advice columnists tend to be extroverts. Of course, there are Asexual extroverts, but they may not spend a lot of time in the places where members of the community congregate. Even though this is a problem, it is one that is easily overcome if the right person comes forward.
