#actually aromantic

[aro-culture-is]

Aro culture is being asked "do you have a crush on anyone?" in school and thinking "no, why would I? I'm a kid, and the other kids here suck" and seeing classmates get into relationships once you all reach middle school and thinking "wow, I'm sooo much more mature than them, because I know that we're all just dumb kids, and starting a relationship now won't amount to anything but future drama," but you only really feel that way because you've never really been romantically attracted to someone else (but also, you were right, and those relationships ended up being messy and/or went nowhere because no one was emotionally mature enough to date at that age)

And also finding Romeo and Juliet ridiculous due to aro reasons when you read it in class during that time of your life when you had no idea being arospec was even an option

Arospec culture is finding it hard to open up to partners about your identity because you're worried they'll think you don't love them :(

I do!! Romantic attraction just isn't as common for me as it is for alloromantics!! That doesn't mean you don't mean the world to me!! I do love you!!

aro culture is getting the end credits in Tomodachi Life by going to space rather than having a kid or getting married like in the last games

ambiamorous aro culture is thinking "yeah, i'd be cool with having more than one partner/my partner(s) having other partners," but it's rare for you to be romantically attracted enough to want to actually initiate a romantic relationship with ONE person, so you have no clue if that'll ever be something you'll ever actually encounter (especially if a person that sparks that rare attraction doesn't want a polyamorous relationship)

Ambiamorous

Ambiamory is defined as the ability to enjoy both monoamory and polyamory with little to no preference between the two. This is not a type o

what even is romantic attraction? is it just the want to be in a romantic relationship with someone or is it some kind of love? idk i just don't understand what the term actually means

great question! if you figure it out, let the aros and also society maybe know?

in theory it is a desire to be in a romantic relationship with a specific person / specific people and to do romantic things with them. i am told that many to most alloromantic people just know what it is when they feel it.

i am also told that describing the feeling is like being asked to describe the color red, and also that no one has ever come up with a satisfactory and well agreed upon definition of what it feels like.

in general, if you're asking and most of your age group is experiencing crushes or romantic attraction... welcome to the aro spec, we have so many questions and no answers either.

arospec culture is maybe being attracted to someone but thinking "is this a rare instance of me being romantically attracted to someone, or do I just think this person is really, really cool, and it's actually [insert other form of attraction here]?"

aroflux culture is sometimes not feeling aro enough to call yourself aromantic, but being too aro to call yourself alloromamtic, and constantly being in cycles of "but am I really arospec?" "wait, do I genuinely feel romantic attraction, or am I confusing it with something else?" "wait, I do feel romantic attraction, but are my aro feelings real, or is this normal for allos?" "wait, but-"
