Shout out to the romance/sex averse aroaces and greyroses. The ones that can only tolerate sex and romance in fiction if we try to force ourselves to believe it's not romantic/sexual in nature. The ones who only that feel aesthetic/sensory attraction for only like. 5 minutes max. Then never feel Again. The aroaces that dont want to "marry platonically". The ones that would rather live in a friendly community with their own space than Start a family. This is mostly for me but... Please, is there anyone else like me? The first few posts in the Aroace search is about.. Yearning. And shipping and attraction... I feel so alone. :(

I love being a queer writer! I love being an aroace writer! I love writing interesting and ambiguous relationships for my characters

I love the emotional dynamics I can explore through queer emotions and attractions. I love how they subtly show characterization in ways a heterosexual monogamous and amatanormative relationship could not

I love characters that mean something to each other in a way only they understand, or maybe they don't quite understand but it doesn't matter

Hi! I've been feeling lonely recently, since my friends all seem to have closer friends, live far away and/or have partnered up, whereas I am still single and solo, as greyaro/biromantic ace.

I love the idea of committment and coziness of a relationship but don't really form relationships (I panic and bail out every time around 3rd date when it starts getting into kissing part of relationship, no matter how cool the person is, okay?).

So I was wondering about how others deal with the creeping loneliness and about any success stories of finding QPRs or good aroace relationships. Kinda just want to see a bit of hope at the end of this tunnel...

Hello! So sorry that you're going through that. In terms of dealing with loneliness, it may be beneficial to seek out (aspec-specific, if need be) in-person spaces. If you have one, try your local library - they also often host book and other hobby clubs, which can be great for meeting new people. (Don't worry too much about the hobby itself.)

That being said, though, I have no personal success stories to share, so I'm posing this question to the community! If you've had a similar experience, please tell us how you dealt with it in the notes (or, if you prefer to, feel free to send me an ask and I will reblog with your addendum - anon is open).

Regardless, I promise you, there is hope. Loneliness sucks, it can feel crushing at times, and you're welcome to come back here to discuss your experiences with it - but no one's doomed to it forever. I sincerely wish you the best of luck in finding companionship, whatever that ends up looking like. Thank you for the ask.
