    Omg I am the same!! Or I definitely feel after a certain period (sometimes weeks, sometimes months) the shine wears off completely and I just don't want it at all. 

    In my case it depens a lot of relationships. When I was in a qpr with someone and this person did something behind my back, I turned romance repulsed for several months. If not longer. And I keep being somewhere in between indifferent and repulsed at this moment.

    romance positive

    "Romance positive/neutral/negative" is about your attitude towards romance in general. The term you're looking for is "romance favorable".

    My favorite fandom activity is shipping. I'm an active fanfic writer.

    whenever it seems to happen to me irl I'm just like ew no thanks lol

    I'm romance ambivalent and it's a weird thing to experience. Very, very weird. For the most time I'm indifferent, but if something happens, I can turn romo favorable or romo repulsed – it's my case.

    I have an 'imaginary' relationship in my head with a musician I like but I think it really just exists as a way for me to have fun in my head rather than experience any particular 'feelings'.

    I have an "imaginary" relationship with several fictional characters. The "imaginary" relationships don't make anyone "less" aromantic + there are still aros who want to be in a relationship (for example, the ones who are cupioromantic). Being aro is just about attraction and not what you imagine or do.

  4. I'm using only "aro" label, because I'm simply confused about my sexual attraction, and I don't think it's necessary for me to identify as alloaro or aroace. Alloallos generally don't use split attraction model, so why should I? It makes no sense. If they can ignore, I can ignore it, too.

    It's fine to say "just aro" about yourself, regardless of being allosexual, asexual or just confused about it (like me), and you don't have to explain to people why you're using only it.

  5. I'm aromantic (romance ambivalent) and nonbinary (gender neutral, but closer to the masculine part of spectrum). Talking about fiction: I prefer m/m content and I'm avoiding het. I'm okay with f/f content, but it's not really my cup of tea.

    It's possible to be aroace lesbian/gay/etc because of tertiary orientation. But using it to say about what you like in fiction… I wouldn't be sure about it.

  6. The majority of the society is perioriented, so it's not a surprise that aromantic spaces are dominated by aroaces. However, it's possible that the reason is more simple than it, because the topic of aro orientation started in asexual spaces and how it was pointed out before, aces are overtalking us.

    The only thing we can do to raise the visibility of alloaros and non-SAM aros (who are facing the inivisibility problem too) is talking and educating people.

  7. It's okay to inform people about using another name than you were using before. Think about your own comfort. Here you can check a base of 200+ gender neutral names – don't look on the "popularity" part because it's connected to the base of PESEL.

    Talking about how I found my name… it's very weird story because I literally took it from a random Brazilian football player, lol. I just changed the -i ending to -y.

  8. I was talking about it in another place and yep, it's alienating and not only for aros but also the persons who are part of the LGBTQ+ community but not because of orientation. Also, the phrase even doesn't describe why for real the community was created. How do you want to fight for equality if the only word you know to say is "love"?

  9. Playing video games (at this moment FootballTeamGame and I'm thinking about to back to The Sims), foreign languages (I speak two foreign languages – Portuguese and English, and I'm learning Japanese), Japenese and Brazilian cultures, cosplay (I almost finished my Hidan's cosplay and I'm going to start completing Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki's costume), Brazilian football, anime/manga, roleplaying, drawing and writing.

  10. It's still very simplified (because of both being a spectrum), but better this way. I had enough of seeing the comments from alloallo people saying "you can just imagine they're aro or ace!!!". Like, no, it's totally different thing and breaks the immersion if you have to still think about it instead of making it real. Also, it's like, you want to watch something in the language you're learning and the subtitles are from different series/movie (sorry if my comparision makes no sense).
