IM A GENERAL WHEEEEEEE

So, I have been questioning my romantic orientation for a while, and here's what I've gathered so far. -I don't feel like I need a relationship, but the idea of one sounds nice -From the romantic experiences I have had (which aren't many), I am usually only attracted to guys, but that could change -Regarding romantic gestures, I am comfortable with cuddling and hand holding, but kissing is something I'm not so sure about -I feel comfortable with having just a group of close friends instead of a romantic relationship -I don't really have celebrity crushes or fictional crushes (I may have had a real fictional crush once or twice, I'm not sure) -I can only confirm that I've had one for sure crush, but even then, I still doubt that experience -I did (and still sometimes do) daydream about having a partner in the future, but in every daydream, me and the person were close friends before getting together -I have squished on multiple people of multiple genders -I haven't dated anyone, kissed anyone, or been intimate with anyone -There are some days where I really want a partner, and others where I can't bear the thought of one That's about it, so feel free to give me some feedback! Some labels I've been considering are aromantic, homoromantic, demiromantic, and greyromantic. Thanks, and have a nice day

Hello! I'd rather not take up much of your time, so I'll get to the point. I have been questioning my romantic orientation for a while, and as of recently, I've been heavily leaning towards aromantic. There are many reasons as to why I believe this (i.e: I dislike romance in media, I don't think I've ever had a crush (usually just squishes), I don't think I've ever felt butterflies in my stomach, etc.) And I have also realized that my perception of how I want the future to be has changed over the last few months, and even years. I have realized that instead of having a romantic partner in the future, I would be perfectly happy and content with a very close best friend, QPP, or maybe even a group of close friends. Looking back on my childhood, I don't recall feeling strongly for anyone in a romantic way, or at least not in the typical romantic way, if that makes sense. I can't remember feeling butterflies in my stomach when I was around my alleged "crush", and I don't remember feeling flush in front of them, either. In fact, I don't remember even fantasizing about real people until I was 12, and even then, I now think that the person I was fantasizing about was just someone whom I had an intense squish on. None of the things in my fantasizes were inherently romantic, which has led me to believe that I am aro. Honestly, I am still young, so I could just be going through a phase, but right now, aromantic seems plausible and fits very well. Any feedback on this matter would be nice, if you don't mind. Thank you for your time

Thank you! I'll make sure to give these a listen!

Sure, I'd love some aro song requests!

I have been questioning my romantic orientation for a while, and recently, I've been wondering if I am aromantic. However, after looking into it, demiromantic seems a bit more plausible. I don't really enjoy romantic media and my idea of a romantic relationship is probably not how a relationship actually is, but after reflecting a bit, I've found that most of the few crushes I can recall (fictional and real) only occurred a while after knowing the character/person well. Honestly, when I first meet a character/person, I either want to be their friend or simply think that they are aesthetically pleasing. Then, after becoming friends with them/getting to know them better, I may or may not (depending on the person) develop a small crush on them. I have a couple of small crushes on a couple friends of mine, to the point where I would want to hug them or hold their hand, but that's about it. Maybe a kiss on the cheek or forehead, but nothing more. Also, when I would entertain the idea of a relationship in the future, it's always with a hypothetical, male friend whom I'm very close to So, what am I? Demiromantic? Aromantic in denial?

I quite enjoy shipping fictional characters, but definitely not real people! Some main ships I like are Lams (John Laurens & Alexander Hamilton from the Hamilton musical, although, technically, they are/were real, so Hamilton ships are my only exception), Jeffmads (Jefferson & Madison from the Hamilton musical, which I hc as queerplatonic), Bruise (Jay & Cole from Ninjago, which I hc as queerplatonic), Illumi & Hisoka (idk their ship name, but I also hc them as queerplatonic), and Opposite (Kai & Zane from Ninjago, which I hc as romantic)

Some of my main aro headcannons are James Madison from the Hamilton musical (he is 100% aroace, and I hc that he and Jefferson are in a QPR), Cole from Ninjago (he is probably demiromantic ace), Hisoka from HXH (demiromantic pansexual 100%), and Stevie from Schitt's Creek (greyromantic heterosexual) Madison because, in history, he never had any children and didn't seem particularly interested in romance or sex, and he prioritized his friendships (hint: Jefferson), and he and his wife seemed to have a more friendly relationship than romantic or sexual. Cole because he hasn't had an actual love interest, aside from Nya, but that didn't go anywhere, and Cole didn't seem heartbroken about the ordeal in the long run. Hisoka because he has never seemed interested in a relationship with anyone, aside from Illumi, who he is already close friends with, so demi for that reason Stevie because although she seems open to dating and has dated in the show, she doesn't seem to prioritize it as much as her friendships, and she has only had (at least from what I can remember, I haven't finished the show yet) one or two actual love interests, aside from David, who she had a friends with benefits relationship with for not even a whole season.

Hello! I am new to this website and I am very confused about my romantic orientation. I have a strong belief that I'm aro, but I'm not 100% sure. Here are some main reasons why: -I'm not sure if I've ever had crushes on anyone before, since they might have just been squishes or plushes (a queer platonic crush) -I tend to skip out on romcoms and romantic books like Twilight because I know that I will not enjoy the romance -Although I really like fan fiction, I'm not sure if I want to be in the position of the characters in the stories I read -I don't really fantasize about relationships, unless they're about a fictional character (or characters) or they're a person I've created from my head (like someone I would possibly like) -I can only recall two serious "crushes" I've ever had in my life, one was a close friend of mine and the other was also a friend, but I'm not sure if I had romantic feelings, or if it was just platonic and aesthetic -I can't recall ever feeling "butterflies in my stomach" when I had a crush on someone -Whenever I had a celebrity crush that I can recall (which was like once or twice) I only thought they looked nice and seemed attractive, but I never wanted to do anything with them -I thought I wanted a romantic relationship, but now, I'm not so sure (a QPR sounds better) -I can't stand celebrity romance (I never have) and I don't know why (I thought maybe I was jealous, but idk) -I hate flirting and I'm always scared that my kindness will be mistaken as flirting However, the thing that makes me question these reasons is that I have always envisioned myself being with someone in the future, but now, my view has shifted. I might just not be ready for commitment, idk. Although, despite this, I do still want someone to be in my future, whether they're a close friend or something else, since I don't think I would like living alone, and living with another person, and even more people, sounds fun. I might just want a very close friendship, but I'm not sure. There are certain things that I would want in a QPR, like an emotional connection/bond, cuddling, and non-date activities (ex: hanging out, getting food together, exploring, etc.), but things like kissing, whether it be mouth-to-mouth or not so, is more something that I'm okay with and will tolerate, but I don't need it (and I might not want it, idk, I haven't kissed anybody) I have also seen that my idea of a romantic relationship sounds a lot more like a QPR, if that makes sense. Like, when I see relationships on TV and in fan fiction, I always think 'this is just a fake act of a relationship, and people don't really act like this when they're in relationships, right?'. But, according to the media and majority of the world, a lot of the behavior in TV shows and fan fiction mirrors real life relationships more than I thought. (Idk if that made sense) Sorry it's so long! I just have a lot to say! I tend to run my mouth a lot lol Anyways, if anyone here could provide some sort of feedback, I would really appreciate that! Thanks for your time, have a nice day
