Welcome Same as you I remember the feeling that something was wrong with me, it sucks. Good to hear you have found this place.

Hi, it is really interesting to see other peoples experiences of aromanticism. That description of earlier dating followed by not missing romance is very different to how I have thought about things but is something I have ran into a few times here, you describe it very well. hope you enjoy chatting to us.

cheers @Scoop can't believe I missed the pamphlets seeing as I have looked at that site so much. Also the video was really good, cheers for directing me to it.

Lean on me - Bill Withers The boys are back in town - Thin Lizzy (I suppose this one is for a gang but it does give me vibes of seeing old friends again)

Do you have any recommendation for a good short video, flyer, poster or whatever which gets across the basics of aromanticism clearly? Basically I am thinking of telling a few close friends about my aromanticism but I am a bit rubbish when it comes to explaining things concisely. I have came out to one friend and basically ummed and aahd for ages after getting no further than saying I just dont do romance. Looking at how someone else does that is something I think would help, but the aro resources I know of are stuff like this forum and the AUREA glossary of aro terms which doesn't r

I was just about to suggest that as well. What you write sounds very much like aroflux, going from not wanting a relationship to many crushes over a short space of time.

get rid of stuff. OK, this is one I really need to follow more often because my crafting instinct is to horde on the grounds I might be able to make something out of that trash (nope, I won't). but it is so much easier to be organised if you just have less stuff. This goes for work organisation as well, I was much better organised once I got rid of the enormous amount of old notes I had which I never used but needed to move around to find the like three useful things that I always needed to check.

I suppose it is just that sex is a set of actions which I want to do. I could look at someone and think 'I'd tap that', but I wouldn't look at that same person and want a long term relationship with them, or I would want to date them.

Hi As Erederyn said, there are a lot of people here who enjoy writing. There's a whole load of threads about writing and aro characters that have turned up on the forum over the years. hope you find something interesting here.

no worries cheers for the link, that is a really good article
