I'm question whether I'm on the aromatic spectrum. Here's some background information 1. I've had a romantic relationship in the past and was in love with the person 2. I have not been romantically attracted to anyone since that person. I had a "romantic" relationship with a second person for a few months but wasn't romantically attracted to them. My idea of a relationship is being close with someone emotionally, who you enjoy spending time with, and doing "romantic stuff" (kissing, cuddling, hand holding (I'm asexual)) with them but there's no romantic attraction on my end. Sort of like a non-sexual friends with benefits type situation. I've never really put thought into the fact that I might not be alloromantic. I haven't had the desire to seek out a relationship like most people my age would and I just always said it's because I'm too focused on school but in reality, I couldn't care less about being romantic with someone or dating them, there's no appeal to me. I never understood why people get so head over heels about wanting a relationship or having romantic moments with people. Romance just seems boring to me. Any insight or tips? Thanks!
