Now, there are "romantic" asexuals, meaning that despite they not feeling sexual attraction towards anyone or sex drive at all, they still long for a "companionship". My sister kind of feels this. So dating for asexuals will be a LOT more of a different experience than it is for sexual people (us). Now, this is just my personal opinion, but I think asexual people can practically "choose" who they want to date, since they don't feel sexual attraction. It's all about the emotional bond and all humans are able to create emotional bonds with everyone, same or opposite sex.

I dunno, I think that romance is just an aspect of sexuality too. You wouldn't have romance with your mother, your dog, your kid, your sibling, even though you can create emotional bonds with companionship with those.

If you mean that she wants companionship just like a close friendship, sure. There are people who live with their friends and all. There are also people who live with their siblings their whole life.

But when it goes to the realm of romance - however you define it - frankly then for me it's just an expression of sexuality, even though you aren't having sex.
