i see! i just thought that overall lithoromantic means someone who may experience romantic attraction that doesnt want it to be reciprocated due to being repulsed; uncomfortable or some other reason. the definition didnt really say they would usually want to participate in a relationship but ofc that doesnt cover all lithoromantic experiences. thank you for the extra info

Dw! That's the most-common definition, so it makes sense that that's the one you would know

I'm super touch-y. I love hugging, I love cuddling, and I love basically all forms of touching. For me, physical touch is really important (although I'm obviously not going to hug someone who doesn't want me to, or who's touch-averse)

frayromantic perhaps? i dont think theres a term describing this specific experience rn

op said theyre thrilled when attraction is reciprocated tho; they implied that they dont mind it being reciprocated but its just that once they get into a romantic relationship the attraction fades so i dont think this term describes that experience close enough tbh

The definition of lithromanticism is actually pretty vague, and one of the definitions is the attraction fading when you get into a relationship with them (I can't attach a screenshot bc the file is too big, but just control+F "Experiencing discomfort upon entering a romantic relationship with a crush" in the link I sent)

There is! It sounds like maybe lithromanticism https://aromantic.fandom.com/wiki/Lithromantic

@unknownplanet.pdf is a great aro allo TikToker, she posts really awesome aro content

I don't know that I have one exactly, but maybe earrings (making, buying, and wearing)?

Dumb question, but how do you make a wikipedia account? 

In the top right corner, there should be a little "Create account" text box. Click that and you can make an account!

i created a wiki acc. how do i add a comment in the talk section?

You go to the Talk page, which is right beside the article page (scroll to the top of the article and look right under the title, there should be a link thing), then you should see this (from google since I can't attach screenshots (they're too big)):

Click "Click here to start a new topic" and that's a new comment in the talk section

I think it doesn't have to be one or the other? It sounds to me pretty aegoromantic-attraction, but the definition of alterous attraction is "attraction and desire for an emotional closeness with a person that exists inbetween romantic and platonic feelings" (according to https://aromantic.fandom.com/wiki/Alterous_Attraction) which can totally include what you're talking about

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrimination_against_asexual_people

This is listed as aphobia, but it talks only about discrimination against aces. Would someone with a working Wikipedia account (mine seems to have been blocked, which is weird since I've only ever used it twice, and those were both fixing spelling mistakes in articles) mind going into the Talk section to address this?

Do you need a Wordpress to volunteer or can you do it on Arocalypse or Tumblr?

So I heard there's this thing where aros wear a plain white ring around their middle finger to show pride. Is this an actual thing or am I mistaken?

If this is real? If it is where can I get one of the rings and what hand is it normally worn on?

Yep, it's a thing! (Although a bit of an old-fashioned aro thing, since I don't know a ton of aros nowadays who wear white rings.) I bought mine at a street fair in a big street near my house, but you can buy them on Amazon, Etsy, probably at Claires.. there's a lot of places to buy a plain white ring.

What the title says. When I found out I was aro, it was easy to accept,  in fact I was happy about it. I felt complete in a way. It felt like a massive relief that I'd never need to date anyone and everything that entails. A weight off my shoulders.

Me too! But I do recognize that as a product of having very supportive parents who didn't really force me to do anything, and who I don't think ever even told me "when" you get a partner. Other people didn't get that chance, though, and unfortunately amatonormativity is so prevalent in so many people's lives that it makes finding out they won't really be participating in the whole Romance Game a giant slap to the face

Has anyone else experienced a situation where you suddenly realise you don’t have to get into a romantic relationship and you see a whole new world open up in front of you? Finding out about platonic partnerships made me feel a similar thing, and my friend had the same kind of response when I told them about QPRs so I’m curious about if this is a common thing. 

Oh I absolutely did, when I first realized I didn't really NEED to follow anyone else's rules for how my life would look. And then again, when I realized I didn't even need to have my labels defined by anyone else, and honestly no one did. It felt kind of like having looked at one of those paintings made up of little dots for years, seeing the same thing everyone else did, and then waking up one day and looking closer, and seeing the little meaningless dots that made up the picture
