Well, I don't get crushes often anyways. So there's often I go long periods where there's just not anyone I'm romantically attracted to. Kinda hard for crushes to fade when I don't get them often. So I don't know.

Like, I strongly identified as panro for so long because I felt such strong romantic attraction, and now I'm NOT feeling it at all. This isn't the first time I've felt like "I don't know why I was feeling like that before. I definitely don't feel that now." And now, I don't know. Can someone help me? I can't even put how I feel right now into words

Man, you guys gonna make me sign in, so I can post and talk about this? Okay. Fine. I did the thing. Let's talk. Before I post, though, I want to say that I'm not talking on behalf of AVEN staff. I just feel the need to say SOMETHING because I'm the one that brought the issue of Arocalypse shutting down to AVEN staff, so I'm just trying to justify my actions. I don't want to "take over" Arocalypse. I literally just want you guys to be kept alive. AVEN's been AMAZING for me, a panromantic asexual. I just want allo aros to have the same thing that I've got. Also, to anyone concerned about how aromantics are treated on AVEN, we really don't allow allo aros to be harassed or invalidated. I do want you to know we crack down on that. Seriously, there's no sinister plan. It's really just keep Arocalypse running. That's literally it.

For me it's not about lacking paternal instinct. In fact, I relate to kids, I've always been comfortable around them, and they've always loved me. The reason why I don't want kids and that's okay is simply put, I don't want them. I love my life as it is, single and childless. Sure, it's a great feeling to raise a human and have them turn out okay, but that's not all there is to life. I could invent a new thing. I could take care of animals at a shelter. I could get a book published. I could feed the homeless. All of these things can foster the same emotions as raising children. Taking care of animals or the homeless? You're taking care of a human. Because of you, they may live another day. Inventing something or writing something? You know how much blood, sweat, and tears go into that? How much time goes into that? How much stress and sleepless nights? They are all methods that give you the same satisfaction of raising a child, with far less money involved and far less of a chance of screwing up royally. Plus I've seen what happens when a parent loses a child, and what if you have to go through that? Not everyone can handle that much emotional baggage.

I love what became of this thread! A movie about a mentally ill guy forcing random strangers to hear about his life story of being taken advantage of by a girl who was sexually abused nad taking credit for what black people did with lots of adult jokes.

As a romantic asexual, I find that a lot of people assume that I'm aromantic (or in some cases panromantic) because I'm asexual. Which really drives me to think that sexuals make romantic relationships with the intent of having sex. So if you don't want sex, what's the point of having a relationship? Or you can have a relationship with anyone because you're not interested in the sex. Any other romantic asexuals get mistaken to aromantic?
