Do you experience romance-repulsion?

Weekly Discussion Prompt 004.

Timestamp: January 23, 2019.

Do you experience romance repulsion?

If so, how does it affect your day-to-day life? How does it affect your experiences in fandom communities?

If not, what about romance is appealing to you? Or are you simply ambivalent to romance?

Do you only experience romance repulsion inconsistently or conditionally? Are you unsure if you are repulsed or not?

I have no problem about other people showing affection when I’m around. I also like reading about romance from time to time, and I can feel jealous about the feelings they describe. When someone interacts with me in a romantic way it gives me baaad anxiety and feelings of disgust. Mostly when it comes to physical things like hugs/kisses/holding hands. It’s fine as long as it’s not romantic. I wish it wasn’t like that.

My romance repulsion fluctuates. Like, sometimes when I'm watching TV, and one of the characters does something totally rediculous to win over another character, and I'm just like, why do people like people doing rediculous stuff like that for them?? But other times I'll find people's romantic gestures sweet. So it's kind of on and off, if you get what I mean.

Im greyro and have had a LDR for 5+ years now. I’m definitely uncomfortable around other people kissing. Irl or in movies, it just unsettled me so much. I think because I feel like I shouldn’t be there at all? I don’t like kissing either, but that could be bad prior experiences. Other romantic things like hand holding, going on dates, and stuff like that is good and fun. But then I get panicky if anyone tries to flirt with me romantically... it’s fine in fiction tho it can get tiring.

This is not just any other locomotive you see everyday. This Locomotive is a tribute from one D.L.S. to another. From Tughlakabad D.L.S. to the finest Diesel Loco Shed of the history NKJ aka New Katni Junction One of my most favourite livery by Tughlakabad D.L.S. that beautiful combination of white and red stripes looks incredibly gorgeous! But question is, which side of the loco is more attractive according to you, the LHF one in first picture or the Cab side in the second picture? For me, I like the cab side more. Let me know which one you find more attractive :) __ 1st Picture: #40020 WDP 4B with Shalimar Express 2nd Picture: #40020 WDP 4B with Mandore Express __ #railfans #diesellocomotive #wdp4 #indianrailways #irfca (at Gurgaon Railway Station) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQFcLqYnJM2/?utm_medium=tumblr
