    Very well put Scarf fellow. 

    Aro’s could use best friend instead of simply friend or really good friend, because it is closer to the intimate relationship target than just some friendly acquaintance. There is also the term besties which is used more by teenage girls which basically conveys the same meaning as best friend. 

    On the other hand though Amatonormativity has also tainted the term best friend. Example: I married my best friend, or my wife/husband is my best friend. It may be too late to recover this term from the love monopoly now bum bum buummmmmm!! 

    I fear the term best friend will be used primarily for romance, or if you mean it in a non romantic way, people will see it the same way the word friend is seen societally. Thats not to say the second meaning still relates to friendship but people using it for romance is a bad sign, and BF is becoming an alternative romantic term.

     

    Yeah, i'm pretty annoyed when people say that their SO is their best friend.

    Sounds good.

    There is a small borough of Berlin called wedding which could work.

    I want to twin it with dissapointment island. Not sure whether that is allowed as a partnership though

    To 50% of people, it is totally allowed.

  3. As an aro who wants to get married...

    It would be a way of showing commitment to a person(s).  Since you can't legally marry more than one person in the dear old USA, I'd just hold a commitment ceremony at church.  All of the fun, none of the legality.

    I only call my nephew sweetheart, darling, lovey, anything like that.  I don't even try to cut that shit on anyone else.  I would never dream of doing it in a professional context.

    I should clarify, I only call my second nephew that.  My first nephew would probably give me a really weird look if I called him anything remotely endearing.

  5. Once I was hanging at Disneyland with a friend and her ex, and my friend literally agreed to go home with her ex even though we both knew he was a piece of shit.  My Mom was naive enough to be ok with it because "the parents would be home".

    Not that that ever stopped my first girlfriend and I from fucking in the past xD

  6. For me, pretty much all of my romantic relationships (i've been in four) were such a shitshow that it was easy for me to understand that they don't guarantee happiness.  In fact, they often detract from it.  That said, I still do want a QPR (don't approach me though, I already have two zucchini-crushes)
