"there's no platonic explanation for this" y'all need to talk to an aromantic person. They will make anything platonic.

QPRs are so awkward to form because most of the time its like.. hey have u heard of this type of relationship thats like custom but also dedicated and stuff? no? ok uhh do u want to be in one though? yeah ok? uh i love you, lets play minecraft together tomorrow ok bye
I want a relationship that is completely undefinable by any existing labels or words. Like, we're so close and we hug and kiss each other's foreheads and cuddle and travel and explore together, and we get along so well and have so much in common. But at the same time, our relationship isn't fully romantic or fully platonic; it's a completely separate, open-to-interpretation thing that we tweaked as needed, and we have our own boundaries and things we are and aren't comfortable with, and we respect each other in every way, shape, and form.
“kind of dating” but not as in a situationship or talking stage but in that our relationship is unique to us and transcends the boundaries of being friends and being in a romantic relationship in a way that is much too complicated to explain to someone without discussing it for at least half an hour and we don’t have that kind of time because you were just casually asking who they are to me
hey guys do the allos know that they can have qprs too? like do they know that being alloromantic doesn't mean they can't choose to be in a qpr anyway? because qprs aren't "romance-lite" for aros, they're an entirely separate kind of relationship that anyone can have. you can do this with fictional characters too. you can put characters that aren't aroace or are even canonically dating in qprs with each other just because you think that would be a cool way to play with their dynamic. it's actually very cool and you totally should.
@degenerate-mystery-inc-whore and I met on Tinder. And she is by far my best friend on the face of the Earth. I tell people that I’m in a QPR with a girl I met on Tinder, and often CisHet people are quick to ask things like, “Have you kissed,” or, “So you’re basically dating then?”
Sure, once I dressed as Lady Dimitrescu and shoved her against a wall, but that was just one time. Really? What’s amazing about our friendship is her calling me at midnight to tell me about a new Lego-train workaround she found. Or me talking for an hour about my favorite Godzilla films over the phone when I’m lonely. It’s making soup for her when she’s sick, and her making damn certain I eat when finances are tight.
I love her very dearly and I will never regret swiping right on Tinder.
Allo peeps need to understand being aromantic isn't just "Ewww, romance". It's "I will follow you to the ends of the Earth and beyond, regardless of where that would lead me." Platonically, of course."
(But please keep in mind that for some it IS "Ewww, romance" And they don't need to be treated like they're not a part of this community, btw. This is an objective fact, btw. Aros are awesome, btw)
(This post is about QPRs and my experiences being aro, I just wanted to make a silly little post about that, aplatonics are valid and real this post was about me and maybe for people who relate)
