So, are you guys out to your loved ones? I haven't really felt the need to come out to be honest. My family still asks if I'm ever going to "find someone" as most families tend to do, but it's not difficult to live with. I think I'd rather deal with the questions and avoid having to explain the complex concept that is aromanticism, especially since I'd need to explain it in swedish where there aren't really any equivalent words that aren't clunky. I don't know, I'm still young and being single is still socially acceptable for me. What's your reasoning?

YMBAI if you are confused by the "I love you" thing and why it is an important "step " in a romantic relationship. Because why would you date someone you don't love (romantically)? (I thought that being crushes and being in love was the same)

It would be really good to get these stories into print in an anthology of some sort. There is a massive offline aromantic gap in the sexuality bookshelves and I was asked by the lady who served me at the local alternative bookstore if I knew of any good titles. It would really be good to have some sort of not for profit community effort to get our stories offline and more visible at a local level. I will personally have a look at your link in the coming week and will try and contribute myself.

YMBAI if you forget/can't fathom the fact that there are actually people who want nothing more in life than to fall in love and marry.
