What kind of relationships are you interested in, if any?
1. I’m just Aromantic. Although sometimes I wish I could feel romance. I’m not saying I want a relationship, cause I am more than happy by myself. I just sometimes feel like I am missing out on something really cool that most other people in the world get to experience.
2. I identify as Aroace. I am immune to attraction. I have nothing but aces up my sleeves and am immune to goo goo eyes.
3. I do consider myself a part of the LGBTQIA+ community. That’s what the A is there for. (agender too)
4. I am only out to a couple people. Those who are either also queer or who really don’t care how I orient myself. I am not out to my parents. The few times I hint or test the waters they say stuff that makes me feel like shit. So. Not out to them.
5. I figured out I was Aro while in the midst of a DEEP dive into asexuality. Was doing lots of research when aromanticism smacked me in the face.
6. When I figured out I was aromantic, it felt like some societal burden was lifted off my shoulders. Other times it’s lonely.
7. My least favorite part of being aromantic is when my brain convinces itself that I am not aromantic and there is nothing special about me and I was just making it all up for attention.
8. I don't really associate anything with aromanticism. I guess the color green is the closest thing that I would think to consider "aromantic".
9. I may be a little biased but I would have to say that the Aroace flag is my favorite aro-spec flag. The warm to cool is very attractive to me.
10. I have known about my being aro for almost a year now. When I first started questioning, I made the wise decision to journal my thoughts and feelings. December 21 was the first time I recorded feeling aroace.
11. I wish more people knew that aromanticism existed and that it does not mean I have sworn off all attraction completely. I do feel platonic attraction, just romantic attraction has never been a thing for me.
12. I have a couple ace friends for sure, and I have a couple friends who share a lot of aro experiences with me, but they do not (to my knowledge) identify as aro.
13. I wish I could tell my younger self that they don't have to keep looking for something that's missing. There is nothing missing. There was no point trying to logic my way into liking people. All I had to do was enjoy all the greek mythology I was devouring in my spare time.
14. As far as other orientations, I do identify as Asexual as well. Aromantic/Asexual. I do experience platonic attraction, and oh boy does aesthetic attraction knock me onto my feet sometimes. (Have you seen Elizabeth Olsen and Katie McGrath? GORGEOUS!!)
15. Advice I have for others is don't force something that doesn't feel right. Don't force yourself into a box that doesn't fit, and don't try to force yourself into a box that isn't there. Life is meant to be comfortable, and if you discover it is most comfortable by yourself, so be it! Enjoy spending quality time with yourself! Or if you desire, go find a partner! Hang out with friends! Your world will not end if you discover you are really not into dating.
16. My views on romance vary. If I am reading a fantasy book where the romance is carefully woven into the story but does not drown out the plot, great! I love that! But when the story is going great, this character shows up out of the blue, sparking goo-goo eyes from everyone, who has nothing too big to add to the story, then it's a little rough. Romance in real life freaks me out. It feels gross and I want nothing to do with it. PDA grosses me out to no end.
17. I don't know if my labels fit into other groups or not. I do know that aesthetic attraction is only triggered by women for me, so that would be closer to lesbianism than anything else, but that is as far as it goes. I only find women breathtakingly beautiful.
18. I, unfortunately, do not have many aro-spec headcanons. The couple I have gathered are either canon or headcanoned by literally every other aro.
19. The song "Never Been In Love" by Will Jay is blatantly aromantic and there is literally nothing you can say to change my mind.
20. Relationships? I guess I really like found family. I really just want friends who choose me first instead of me being a last resort when all their close friends are busy.
