I think a part of it can be from a lack of viability and education on what aromanticism actually is. But also I can definitely relate to desiring a romantic relationship even if you don't feel romantic feelings. The world is built for couples imo. That being said, within my own campaign of spreading aro awareness I have had some friends say that they do relate to what I describe when I explain what being aro means to me. So I agree that there are more aros then we think!

If I knew how to share images I'd be totally done for sharing some of my favs.

Thank you everyone! ?

Pretty much everyone I've told has pretty much told me it doesn't exist and that I just haven't met 'the one'. What was particularly hurtful as it came from friends within the LGBTQ+ community. I feel like in the LGBTQ+ community that I frequent aro is always viewed as being attached to ace and most people don't even realise they are not mutually inclusive.

Hello! My name is Kiki and after lurking on these forums for over a year I finally decided to make an account and introduce myself! I live in Australia, Melbourne to be specific and what drew me to these forums was there is literally nothing irl for someone who identifies as aromantic allosexual here. Or at least not what I could find, if anyone knows of anything please let me know! :) I look forward to actually participating in conversation instead of just reading from the shadows!
