  1. i get squishes on fictional characters too!! lol don't worry that's not weird aw man this sounds so tough I'm sorry you have to deal with this. If you wanna tell him how you feel, first I'd make sure to see if he might know about aro stuff, and if he didn't you could explain to him? Also, maybe practice talking to him more in private if you can get him alone to talk, it could start to get easier if you did it more and more. If you can never talk to him in private, maybe he has an email or phone number or instant messaging you could contact him by and try to start talking to him one on one there? I hope everything works out my dude! Good luck!
  2. dude i feel you so much, that's happened to me twice, but you shouldn't feel like a jerk just because the guy claimed you "led him on". For me, I'd made friends with this guy really quickly and started treating him the way I treat my other best friends, which is with a lot of love and kind of physical affection, and I know that sinking feeling of realizing all along what was going on. I was so excited to have another friend who was on the same page as me, but I feel I should've seen it coming when he tried to literally get in bed with me lol it was so weird to me. But yeah, it's not your fault that people have to put subtext in everything like that. And you definitely should not feel guilty, wtf the nerve of that guy, people aren't mindreaders. Maybe to help this, you could find a way to be open about how you aren't interested in romantic relationships? Like if you were watching a tv show with some friends who weren't aware and you wanted to make it clear you're aro, if you see anything romantic on tv be like "booo no more, get back to the plot" or something lol that's what I do sometimes. Good luck my friend, it'll be okay!
  3. Ok so sorry I already posted a question and someone thankfully helped me a lot thank you so much! But now something happened two days ago and I don't know what to do... I mean I guess I do kind of but I don't know how to word it. I tried to break up with my partner, and we were sitting in my car crying together for two and a half hours and everything was awful. I thought I'd finally done it, but then they started saying they would never do anything romantic with me again, that we could set agreements and rules and have open and honest communication. They said that they didn't want to be put at the level of my other best friends and still wanted to be by my side or in a partnership with me in some way. Basically they wanted to be special to me, and while they really have been, I didn't know if they could change themselves and I didn't want them to sacrifice even more and throw a bunch of shit they wanted all away to be in a weird confusing non relationship with me that i can barely grasp. I told them where we were was just too stressful to me and thats why I couldn't do it anymore, and they said they were not psychologically ready to not be with me in some way, and that they didn't want to have to tell their family that it was happening, that we broke up. And I almost didn't give in, but I did. I was so tired and so drained emotionally. I really care for this person a lot but I don't know how this change is going to go. Loving someone else more than yourself is not a secure basis for love in my opinion, and I don't want to be responsible for my partner doing that and throwing themselves away the same way I felt I did before for them to be happy, without my own comfort. We live together in a dorm and we both didn't know what we were going to do after I almost broke up with them, where we would each go and what we would tell everyone when we thought that was it. I wanted things to be the same but a little different, and they also wanted that, and we are one of each others best and only friends at school. All our friends are mutual between us too. I was too exhausted and their answer was easy to give in to I suppose. I told them I felt manipulated or guilted by them more than sometimes, in a kinder way than saying it straight out. But I really don't know if they will change. I've read signs online about abusive or emotionally manipulative partners to see if me or my partner was abusive towards the other because sometimes I just don't know, I don't like the way I act towards my partner sometimes and I don't know if it is my fault or theirs. I read about how emotionally manipulative partners force the relationship to keep going because of the hold they have over the other person, because of their selfish wants and not listening to what the other person wants in the end. Anyway, I really don't know how to do this. Or what to say, what concrete things I can present that will help this situation. Thanks to anyone who reads this ? I'm so grateful for people like you, much platonic love ?
