Hello, i recently found out that i am aromatic. I like kissing and sexual stuff and even cuddling and hand holding but the thought of a romantic relationship makes me cringe. I did not realize until recently that the relationships i had in the past was just me trying to force myself into a role i was never meant to play. (i am in one currently because of my own folly in not understanding myself and my needs until recently.)I did love deeply once but i have further examined my feelings and it was a platonic love mixed with sexual attraction. A strange combo i never knew existed. i have loved but have never fallen 'in love' but i did confuse the type of love i felt. there is a fine line between it all.i knew i loved him deeply but i did not know what type of love it was and i have a powerful sex drive so i confused it all. He was my best friend. When your young feelings are hard to understand and everything gets jumbled up.
Where is the line between sexual and romantic behaviour?
