Can asexuals have successful romantic relationships with sexuals?

For asexuals

I would like to date a certain person, but I'm fairly sure that they're sexual. How can I approach them without giving them the wrong impression?

Is it possible to be asexual as well as lesbian, gay, or bi?

Do I owe my partner sex because of things I've been doing with them, like flirting or kissing or letting them take me to fancy restaurants?

My partner is pressuring me to do sexual things that I don't want to do. How do I resolve this tension?

I've sworn off relationships with sexuals, but still feel romantic attraction. How can I find a like-minded asexual to date? Is there any hope?

What's a romantic relationship, anyway? Since I'm asexual, how does it differ from being good friends or cuddle-buddies?

For sexuals

I think my partner might be asexual. What should I do?

If my partner isn't sexually attracted to me, does this mean that they don't really love me?

I'm sure my partner is asexual but they won't talk about it with me. What can I do?

We had great sex at first but now it is totally gone. I don't understand. Is it possible that my partner has suddenly turned asexual?

My partner masturbates and/or watches pornography, but doesn't want to have sex with me. How is this possible?

What exactly is it that asexuals will and won't do? Do they enjoy kissing and cuddling? How about second base, or (fill in the name of a pseudosexual act here)?

I want to stay with my partner and support them but the lack of mutual sexual feelings is killing me. What can I do?
