I find myself wondering if I should come out to my parents as aromantic at some point in the near future. I am twenty-one and bisexual, and while my parents haven't really pushed dating all that much on me, I feel like they are inevitably going to start asking me if I'm seeing anybody or planning to date soon. Especially since two of my three older siblings got engaged and then soon after married at the same age I am now (this is partially due to the religious environment I grew up in).
I kind of want my coming out as aromantic to be something that just comes up in conversation so that it doesn't potentially feel weird, which is how my coming out as bisexual went. But I also feel the urge to rip the bandaid off ASAP just to get it over with.

would b awesome to find romance repulsed posts that don't imply I'm asexual/sex repulsed as well. That's all well & good for y'all but it is NOT inherent & absolutely not true for me. I'm not just sex favorable, I'm allosexual. I'm sex crazy. I love sex, I love having sex, I will be having more sex later today, maybe with multiple people. I am actively incredibly sexually attracted to other people, often immediately upon sight, & yet it still makes me feel ill if someone might even BEGIN to think of me romantically. They are not mutually inclusive.
I hate the idea that upon telling people im romance repulsed they will assume I'm sex repulsed or asexual. with my complicated gender it literally makes me dysphoric. PLEASE remember to include us.
if you tag this as aroace or asexual ur getting blocked I don't fucking care.
