I like relationships. I like being in relationships, I like doing the relationship stuff, and I like doing relationship stuff with people I care about. I also don’t mind others being attracted to me, and I even enjoy it sometimes.
Attraction, however? Me feeling attraction? Is an abstract concept to me. I think I feel some forms of attraction sometimes, but I can’t tell which ones!
— Partnering Aspec Troubles lol
can i ask why a green stripe aro may date,,?? or otherwise why someone may date someone they're not attracted to,, i'm aromantic myself, i just don't understand since i can't relate to wanting to do that;; like on a personal level. i want to headcanon that more with my characters though, and in an accurate way at that
Do any aromantics who have partners wish to share a little about how they had 2 navigate that sort of thing?
I like... don't feel romantic attraction at all BUT i do believe in the idea of having a partner + closeness emotionally and physically, i just KNOW it wouldn't be traditional so uh... if anyone wants 2 give me some hope thru their own experiences please do share... please and thank you

A partnering label referring to one who is willing to partner with anyone of any gender, though gender can still be a contributing factor of their partnership. This does not denote the genders that one can feel any type of attraction to.
Partnering orientation coined by @coins-for-the-moth
