We don't have that where I live so I don't know how it goes, but maybe you can go with a group of friends. You can ask your friends, or maybe create a group for people who wants to go without dating. If someone asks you, just say no. It is better to be clear about it.

Because of that, for years, in the song River Deep Montain High, with the line " I love you baby like a school boy loves his pet", all I heard was " I love you baby like a school boy loves his fart". And I thought it was a very comparison, but that it works. Now, I remembered what pet is. The comparison makes a bit more sense but I still find it weird lol. Also, I just learn the word trainee in English, because a supermarket use it in his recruitment add and it creates some disagreement. Because, you see... In French, trainée = whore.

I don't think there is a way to do that unfortunately. Don't make yourself uglier or change who you are; first it won't work, second it is not healthy to change who you are because you don't like how other react to it. Hard for me to give an advice as it didn't happen to me since high school. In middle school I had a guy who liked me, I rejected him, but we became friends later even if he still liked me romantically : he was able to understand that I didn't reciprocate and accepted it. Basically, be true about your feelings and what you want, and don't hesitate to remind them if they cross the line. There is nothing more you can do, I think.

Honestly if you already told him you were aroace and it's still trying, the only thing you can do is to tell him that you are not interested in him except as a friend (because when it is too general sometimes people feel they are the exception 🤦🏼‍♀️). If you prefer you can also say in a conversation that as you are aroace, someone trying to date you knowing that is as annoying and disrespectful as a straight guy trying to date a lesbian (and something like this). Anyway you did nothing wrong. As you mentioned, you say to him more than once that you were aroace so if he decided to ignore that and read what you say in a romantic way, it is completely his fault.

At first I identified as greyro, partly because I thought I was but also because it was easier to accept for me than a full "never". What also helped me was discussing with other aros and realizing thanks to them that ppeople don't need romance to be happy, that other relationships can be as fulfilling, and that a big part of why I wanted a romantic relationship was due to societal expectations. The other big part was children but there are alternatives, though they are harder for single people. I think it is a bit like mourning the life you won't have : there are sadness, anger, but in the end, acceptation. And now I even like being aro, I can't see myself any other way.

I think with this additional context, ghosting her is more understandable, as it seems she was already ghosting you and you were not friends anymore. In fact you just made official something that already occured : the end of your friendship. I'm sad for her though. If she ever get divorced, she'll be alone. Or worst, she won't be able to leave the relationship If she wants to cause she'll be scared of being alone. That is crazy to see what amatonormativity do to people.

Well I'm going to say this is a disadvantage for me. In particular as we don't use words like "romantic remationship" so the word "aromantic" always feel unpractical for me. People think we mean that we dob't like candle light dinner and things like that...

I don't know, maybe ? It is hard to know.aybe ask yourszlf if you want to date her.

I've seen there were some developments for wedding suit for women. But maybe it's too feminine ?

Yes and same compaigns have to remind people that romantic support doesn't cure mental illness. That should be obvious but...

I thibk the question is : do you have romantic feelings for her ? Did you have for other people in the past ? Whatever the answer is, she has to respect your boundaries. Maybe you should tell her how it makes you feel even if it is difficult and she may not take it well : people know tvat bot respecting sexual boundaries makes people that uncomfortable, but they rarely realize it can be the same with romance. As @Apexsays it is possible that you are not compatible when it comes to romantic relationship. It is also possible that you are on the aromantic spectrum. I am not really familiar with the aego label and I'm not in your head to know, but this won't be crazy.

I am on AVEN, a big reason being all the fun memes they have there, not gonna lie. Edit : I'm not anymore.

Someone posted about here and when ghey made the annoncement, they use the words aro and ace and even speak specifically about alloaros. It's Nice that they had it (I don't know if I'll use it as I have a mod that is more precise, even have grey identities, but recognition is always great). Yeah I agree it's not the same. I have a npc that I headcannoned as aro and when I was not looking, the guy gets married. Also it's annoying to have the sims desire to date or kiss someone, or just getting flirty, when you don't want to.

Aro for me too. I feel a bit more connected with my ace identity now that I visited some ace forums, but exclusively as an aroace sense. I mean, if I had to describe my identity, I can say I'm aro, I can say I'm aroace, but I don't think I would use the word "ace" alone except when answering something that is solely about sex or asexuals. I don't know if you see what I mean ? Also I feel that being aro influence my life more, when it comes to relationships, how it is view and what struggles it creates, etc.

So good news : my banker completely forgot to told me about a special credit for people who never buys anything before, so if I may be able to buy something. As it is only for new buildings, I'll have to wait two years as the building I notice is just starting to be built, but... At lezst I can buy something. Now I'll see if I can have two chambers or not, wish me luck. My point still stand though : a couple buying the same thing win't have to worry and single people need more help when it comes to this.

I just wanted to rant a bit I guess. I am trying to get an appartment and it is so expansive. It looks like the only things I can afford are : -studios, which is what I had when I was a student so I expect to have more now that I have a master and that I work. -things in area that have a bad reputation... you get why I'm not thrilled about it -old appartments that either have renovation work or unpractical things like no elevator You can say I should lower my expectations. Maybe. But I also realize that all the appartments I saw would be an easy but if I was in a couple and we were both working. I mean, of course two people have more money than only one, but I don't know... I guess I just wish there were some help for single people ? Married people have so much priviledges already... And even if I had à friend or a family rmember ready that I wantt tto live with and vice versa, I'm not sure the bank would accept cause young people are expected to change their mind and find a partner, so we'd have to convince them that they can trust us to stay together... Also, I don't have the biggest payment true, but some people have even less. So I have trouble, what about them ? How do the maids, cashiers, and all the other people who have a low salary like this ? I may be wrong but I think nonody realized hiw high the prizes are cause people are expecting to live their parents home when they want to live with their partner. When you're single they expect you to rent, not to buy... That also annoyed me because you know, I plan to adopt a child in the future. But that won't happen if I don't have a chamber for them. And right now I can't afford it, and that's makes me sad.

Wheb he was 4, my brother hated his teacher and vice versa. The teacher told my parents he was retard and he had to go to the school psychologist for that. Joke on the teacher, when the psychologist so my brother can read perfectly at this age, she says he was probably the opposition of retard (but says it was no need to do the tests so we don't know, but still, crazy). Still with my brother, he terrible writing at first because his teacher had "nothing to teach a left-handed how to write" (quote). Yes this is as crazy as it sounds. I suppose I have to confess that when I was teaching French, I was bot good at it, partially cause of my depression at the time. But at least I stopped the next year and it is better now that I teach something I like and that the modalities fit me better.

I still have all of my Harry Potter posters. It will be weird to leave thel when I finally move out. I had a bit of some other movies I liked, and when I was really a child, poster of singer, but not a lot.

There are a lot of people who makes mods and you can download on line. The one I was talking about is this one. Then in the field of your sims game you have on your computer, you have a subfield called "mods", you put all the mods you want there. It makes the game so much better. Some mods can change the things in the game that are bad or weird (my favorite is the one to regulate the population... before that all the npcs died single and without children, and though I supportt their choices, it was weird how none of them get mmarriedand have babies... at least they didn't randomly died as they did in sims 3... the mod also get these sims a job and evolution in their career, thibgs like that). Some other mods add things in the game, etc. The only thing is that if you have too much, it slows the game... Sims 4 works well with me. With mh old computer the loading was really slowed, but now that I have a more recent computer I don't have this problem. And they can do more than one thing at a time, it was not the case in sims 3 I think ? I don't remember, it's been a while. Yeah but EA clearly thought : why creating a New game when we can still create dozens of extensions and packs ? Sims 5 is now in production, I think, but it will take time before it is ready.

I think it cool ! I was using a mod for that (one that differentiate between sexual and romantic orientation and even recognize the grey area), but come on that should be included in the game without it ! And I'm,so glad they finally did, and acknowledge aromanticism, in particular as separate from asexuality. I am so happy!

Why depression ? I haven't got the feeling that he was depressed. Or maybe it is because he chose to sacrifice kids who have mental problems like depression for Max ? Lack of forgiveness maybe, as it seems like he doesn't know this concept... But I see it more like a symbol of bad and pessimism. He only sees the worst in people, and this worst will erase all the goods for him. That's why he hates them so much. (for some reason when I saw the title, I thought it was going to be about Will's orientation lol)

I think it is because at dome point, there were a "we don't love romantically but we have squishes / we still love our friends our have QPRs" logic. I don't see it that much these days, but that could be cause I'm on arocalypse and not on things like tumblr or twitter. So the aros who don't feel that way needed a term to be more visible.

Yeah I think that's a difference between aro and aces. With aces the rhetoric is : "we can still love" I don't see it much on the ace forums I visited (I may be lucky), but I see it a lot in places like youtube everytime there is a video on aces (for instance it was a big thing when it comes to Jughead Jones) With aros it is : "we can be aromantic but not asexual" It is not a lot but the wording is important. One makes it sound like being aro is bad, the other doesn't sound like being ace is bad.

I don't see the flag as here to help explaining things, more like some thing that make the people involve feeling things and represented. A bit like the white ring : I don't wear but if I did, I would not expect anybody to know what it means, except maybe another aromantic if I see one.

Yes. That's one of the reasons why I like aro spaces better. There's also things like "A is for asexual" (thanks but what about us ?) and that doesn't come about aces necessarily but sometimes I saw things like "I've never seen this word or concept outside of the ace community, only aces use it", but aros do to. And the fact that aspec is used as a synonym of acespec, though I think it is supposed to mean all people with an A identity. It is not a lot, but when you add all of this, it makes me feel invisible as an aro.
