No. My body cannot physically take the stress of a relationship, nor can I ever trust people enough to get close to them.
There was a girl in high school named Emily who claimed she liked me, only to reject me for friendship because she had a boyfriend. She then proceeded to spread violent rumors about me and made two years of First Robotics a living nightmare. She spread violent rumors about me, one claiming that I would beat up her boyfriend and another one claiming that I would kill my whole team on a robotics trip. The mentors ignored me, Emily's friends taunted me, and the whole team shied away from me. One of the catalysts that made me an aromantic.
Plus, I've got a cat and few plushies. Why would I waste my time and energy on a relationship?!

Misconceptions that I've heard, from my own personal experience:
"You just haven't found Mrs. Right yet!"
"You need to stop feeling sorry for yourself."
"You're not ready for a relationship."
"Do you like both girls and guys then?"
"You'll think differently about this if a girl came up and asked you out on a date."
"Love will come around when 'the time is right.'"

How to find companionship for life?
in Aromantic Relationships
Posted
Being a romance-repulsed aro, I am not seeking relationships, marriage, or sex right now. Plus, my experience with possible relationships were not so favorable. A girl bullied me after she claimed to like me and then rejected me for basic friendship. I'm just not ready for any relationships. I prefer my cat and a large plushie of my favorite video game character for companionship; they don't lie, cheat, steal, or otherwise judge me for who I am.
