    How did you deal with prom?

    in Aromantic Discussion

    Posted

    I went to prom three times.

    For my first prom, I went with one of my closest guy friends and it was awesome.

    For my second prom, I went with my friend Robin and it was awesome.  I also had matching costumes with my crush (he was Light and I was Misa).  I don't recall planning this, it just happened that way.

    For my third prom, I went with my girlfriend.  It actually didn't go so badly.

    Aros in Romantic Relationships

    I have been in four romantic relationships.  My happiest, most successful one was with another aro.  The others were pretty much disasters from beginning to end, although I did sort of like my first girlfriend.  Still ended very unhappily though.

    I realize I may end up in a romantic relationship again.  However, for now, I am happy having just friends...especially in this era of COVID.

    Romantic Attraction

    in Aromantic Discussion

    This is from the AVEN wiki and I think it is good enough.

     

    Put as simply as possible, it is a distinct fondness or affection toward someone that differs from what you would feel toward friends, family or people you admire. It may be characterized by a unique, almost surreal anxious-euphoria when sensing or thinking about this person and is distinguishable from hero worship. It typically involves butterflies in the stomach, heart fluttering or “melting” when interacting with them, some obsessiveness, all over warm and fuzzy feeling, and being swept into a dreamy state of mind, but experiences may vary depending on the individual and intensity of the case. Desires such as wanting to bond or be physically close with them are extremely common when experiencing romantic attraction

    I like weddings and I'm not cynical about romance at all, but for myself I would mostly just want it to be a commitment ceremony with a big party and lots of food and dancing and nice clothes. I don't care if it's romantic. And I wouldn't spend more than $6000. Why spend like $50,000 on one day when I could save about $15k and have a fun, but not overly complex, formal party with our favorite people and go on a two-week luxury vacation at a fancy hotel in a foreign country with my best friend?

    Wise words, dude.
