Asexual Dating sites are few and far between. Four are currently in operation, but so far, they have met with little more success than the Asexuality Visibility and Education Network. The sites may or may not have brought together couples. Even AVEN has had some success serving as a match making service, even though it is not the site's purpose. Readers would be better off checking those sites to see each site's success stories.
Even though there is a need for such sites, there is a reason for their low success rates. It has nothing to do with the sites itself. The reason for the low success rates has far more to do with the number of self-identified Asexuals rather than the sites themselves. The far-flung nature of the Internet allowed Asexual communities to form. The real world meetups still occur mostly in larger cities.
This probably will not be the case forever. More people realize what Asexuality is, even if they do not identify that way. When the information about Asexuality becomes widely available, there may be less far-flung Asexuals. A person living in a small town may find it easier to meet other Asexuals.
Acebook, Asexualitic, Asexual Pals and the most recent site, Asexual Match provide a platform for romantic Asexuals who are looking to connect with each other. There's no easy method to find other Asexuals currently.

The formats for asexualitic and acebook aren't that great really I have tried both...Some regular dating site should add an ace section it probably get more attention especially since athe ace dating ones aren't well know so even if one does know they are ace they may not know about the dating sites and those who do like me may not like how they are set up...
I have always called myself asexual, kind of joking about how I don't like relationships and sex. I don't hate sex. It just bores me and I had always done it primarily because I felt that I had to please my partner. I just want someone I can talk to and cuddle with. I never knew it was an actual orientation and that I wasn't joking. It's actually quite comforting.
I don't no we're to start to meet another asexual .I just want good company with someone.
Walk the dogs, go to a show, stay home by the fire on a cold night.
I did not no about this until a friend who's a doctor brought up the subject.
So l have been looking at a number of dating services l just don't no we're to start.
l would please like some help.
