I know it's hard right now. But you can and will get through it, don't let anything or anyone hold you back or down. This is your life, you are in control. You've got this! If you can find one negative thing or thought, then think of to positives. It can be as simple as you woke up today, you got out out of bed today. Anything positive.

FAQ

Links to both asks and submissions can be found at the bottom of this post.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an aromantic?

An aromantic is someone who does not experience romantic attraction.

What does ____ mean?

Our glossary can be found here. If there’s a term that isn’t in the glossary, let us know!

Am I aromantic or arospec?

That’s not something we can decide for you! If you’re asking us to figure out if something sounds like you could be aro, or if you are aro, we don’t know you and we don’t know. If you have reason to think you might be, try looking into it. We have resources here that may be helpful, and we all have personal aro blogs (found on the mods page) that may give you more of our experiences and perspectives.

What is romantic attraction/how do I know if I feel it?

We’re probably the worst people to ask! As much as we want to help, if you ask us this, we probably won’t be able to give you a very good answer, though we can certainly try.

Can I be arospec if ___? What if I’m in a(n) ___ relationship? What if I don’t want a relationship? What if I’ve done ___? What if I haven’t done ___?

Being arospec is defined by (lack of) attraction, not behavior. You can like, dislike, participate in, abstain from, want to do, or have done anything romance related and still be aromantic.

Can I be aromantic with ___ sexuality?

You can have any sexuality while being aromantic, or choose not to define it at all. You can identity as, for example: aro, aroace, aro bisexual, aro lesbian, aro gay, etc. Romantic and sexual attraction are separate for many aros, and these labels do not cancel each other out.

When is Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week?

AAW begins the week after Valentine’s Day every year. You can find our page on this event here.

Will you promote my blog/site/profile/etc.?

As a general rule, we will not be giving promotions when requested. As much as we want to signal boost aro voices and work, it is simply too difficult for us to juggle messages asking us to promote things that we, as a team of very busy people, do not often have time to check out ourselves.

What about ______ discourse?

This blog has a strict no-discourse policy - we will not discuss, interact with, or answer asks about discourse. This is blog policy so we can continue being a community resource as well as for the personal safety of the mods. Asks regarding this subject will be deleted without reply.

Why haven’t you answered my ask?

One or more of these reasons.

I have a question about queerplatonic attraction.

Check our queerplatonic tag which has quite a bit of content and a lot of asks in it, so you’ll probably find an answer there.

Ask & Submission Guidelines

If an ask is very time-sensitive or urgent, please put *** at the beginning, so we can answer it accordingly. We have a lot of asks at any given time, so it usually takes several weeks at least to answer one.

If your ask is NSFW in any way, especially pertaining to sex, masturbation, sexual history, genitalia, etc., then please either omit sensitive information or put a content warning at the beginning of the ask. Several of our mods are sex repulsed and/or minors, and are not okay with seeing this content.

Anon is perfectly fine when asking advice, but when sending asks pertaining more to discussion, especially of potentially controversial opinions, we request that people send them off anon.

No bigoted or harmful rhetoric will be acknowledged.

We want to emphasize that we welcome and encourage reasonable discussion and want people to send asks, but our priority is fostering a welcoming environment for the aro community!

I made some things for aro week

[lovingitaromantic]

[ID: Two images on a green background. On both are three simplified arrows going diagonally across. The tip is pointed top right and tail feathers are pointed bottom left. The colors are white, gray, and black. The first image has black text that reads “I am not too young to describe my attraction”. The second image has black text that reads “I do not owe you a vocabulary lesson”. End ID]

Aro culture is not understanding why people act like being single is the worst thing.
