What does Ace mean, if you don't mind me asking?
It's short for asexual, which is a spectrum of not feeling sexual attraction. Personally I still have a sex drive, and seek out relationships, but I really don't feel sexual attraction to people, I have to like them for other reasons. I even routinely go on dates with friends who are poly- but it's just to be friends.
Isn't that just going to dinner with friends
I mean one on one, to most outside observers that looks like a date. I've run into problems before I really figured things out when I was trying to be friends with people, only to have enraged exes jumping to all sorts of conclusions.
