Hey um... What are common signs that you're aro? Cuz I'm questioning rn and aro isn't something I'm super informed about.........
(I'm so sorry it took so long for me to get to this question. I hope you found some info in the mean time)
Obviously, being aro is different for everyone. But some common signs that I think many people experience might include the following:
When a piece of media includes a romantic plotline, you find it boring or pointless, or think it weakens the characters
You're deeply uncomfortable with romantic relationships, including having anxiety about the idea of someone being interested in you
You find it hard to understand why others are so obsessed with romance
When you picture your ideal future, it involves friendships, family, or platonic relationships rather than a romantic partner
When people asked you who you had a crush on, you picked someone at random, or based on criteria like how nice they are
You thought everybody chose their crushes like this
You enter romantic relationships because you feel that is what you are expected to do in life, or because you think that you'll begin feeling romantic attraction if you date someone
The idea of traditionally romantic things such as flowers, holding hands, coffee dates, kissing, and marriage makes you uncomfortable or unhappy
Obviously this isn't a checklist of things you Must Experience, just some things that I think are common within the aro community.
I hope this helps!
