Is she asexual or just going through a phase?
I know a girl whom I'm interested in...we've been involved online for several months now. Lately, she's been saying she's not interested in sex and is starting to think she might be asexual. However, she has masturbated before, and has been sexually aroused (even quite recently). She's also seemed interested in a relationship with me, although maybe not sexual. It almost seems like her feelings of asexuality come and go, and I'm wondering if it's a phase. She's only 17, so I've also thought that maybe she's just not hit her sexual "prime" yet and that it may develop later or after she actually gets physically intimate with a guy.
What do you think?

To me (a true asexual), it sounds like she's just going through a phase -- but in the end, only time will tell if it's a phase or not. My advice, for what it's worth? Don't push for a romantic relationship with her just yet. Instead, continue being "just friends" with her and encourage her to explore her feelings about sex safely until she determines her true sexual orientation. Should she determine that she is interested in sex and pursuing a romantic relationship with you, go for it; otherwise, continue supporting her as a friend. Good luck!
