  1. Hey, any UUs here? If there are enough of us, maybe we could start a UU Discord server!
  2. I saw Brother Bear II with my Mom last night, and was rather pleasantly surprised. I saw it once when I was little. I remembered it as this really mushy movie where the MC finally finds a girlfriend, and everything ends in romantic bliss. However, upon re-watching when older, it actually wasn't like that at all. Kenai could really easily be headcanoned as grayromantic, if not fully aro. There is a lot of emphasis on Kenai and Nita's relationship, but it's not romantic for most of the movie. Most of the time, they're just good friends hanging out who have an unusually strong bond (queerplatonic?). Even in the end, when Nita turns into a bear, it isn't implied that the two are in a romantic relationship. It is just implied that the two have a permanent, lifelong bond. I was really touched by that because you never see that in the media, and that's the sort of relationship I want.
  3. I have dated four people romantically. Never again.
  4. I am aroace, I have been manipulated into relationships and sex that I didn't really want in the past. Things like this happen to aros too. We should talk about it.
  5. I understand. I was extremely happy when I broke up with my second ex. My gender therapist was puzzled, so I made some bullshit excuses as to how horrible she was. But in reality, I was just glad to be free.
  6. Bleh all around. I hate it no matter the overtone. A friendly peck on the lips, sure. Anything beyond that...no just no.
  7. PM me for my Discord. I'm over 18, so I might not be a great candidate for a QPR, but I wouldn't mind being friends.
  8. You will. It may take a long time, but you will.
  9. What does sexual attraction feel like? And what does it feel like to feel sexual attraction?
  10. I am sorry for your loss. Heartbreak is always difficult. It's never easy to deal with, whether it's platonic or romantic.
  11. I've had heartbreak. I think some aros get it and some aros don't. It doesn't make you any less aro if you do. Getting heartbreak over friends is still a thing.
  12. I was sitting in the middle of a Spanish class when I realized I was AroAce. I think I was bored. I think I also got some (very suspect) strawberry horchata afterwards.
  13. So, I have never felt romantic attraction in my life save for one person when I was very young. I am pretty certain of this. However, I came across this one person last year who has made me question this a little bit. What I felt for him definitely wasn't romantic. However, I would have felt comfortable with him kissing me on the cheek (and vice versa), us giving each other pecks on the lips, and even him kissing my neck and collarbone and giving me hickeys (although sex with him didn't appeal). I also would have loved to cuddle with him. Our relationship is now over, so I can't tell him about this or explore any of these things with him. Does this make me grayromantic? I know the community says labels are all about attraction, and I felt no romantic attraction to him. However, to a degree, attraction is also about what you want, and I kinda wanted a soft romo relationship with him. Am I grayromantic now?
  14. I suspected I was ace at around sixteen. I knew when I was eighteen. I knew I was aro around...two years ago?
  15. I've been in four. Only one (my third) was halfway decent. I am grateful to be single since 2019.
  16. welcome! Have you heard The Piano Guys cover of "Fight Song"? It involves bagpipes!
  17. Try discussing hobbies/avocations :)
