He Loves Love Ok - Tumblr Posts

I’ve seen a couple people say that Dick is demisexual. I was just wondering if it is actually true and if yes, can you one or two examples/comics, thank you. Also, I love your metas and think it’s really cool that you put so much effort into them, it’s really helpful for new comic readers wanting to get into Dick Grayson/Nightwing :)

If we are looking at Pre-52, I’d say that there is a lot of evidence that Dick is demisexual. There are several instances where Dick pretty much explicitly states as much: 

Action Comics Weekly #614

Huntress/Nightwing #3

Outsiders #12

There isn’t anything wrong with casual sex to make that clear. But Dick is pretty consistently uninterested and uncomfortable with that sort of approach. He doesn’t tend to pursue relationships in that way...he actually lowkey really enjoys being romanced a bit. 

New Teen Titans (1988) #71

Wake up people! He wants to be wooed a little...

I mean, in recent years, DC has become more concerned with pushing Dick as a womanizer in order to capitalize on his sex appeal, so...whatever. But Dick’s relationships used to be all about emotional connection and dedication. And I think with their approach, DC really misses the fact that a huge part of Dick’s charm was how sincere he was with his love.
