This is kind of an old forum but *shrug* I should have realised in school but I hadn't heard of the term 'aromantic' ten years ago. When I was in my late teens/early twenties I thought I was but then I found myself talking myself out of that label and feeling almost stupid for having those feelings as it wasn't normal. It's actually only in the last couple of days, when I was talking to someone who was interested in dating me, that I realised that it's not stupid and this was actually me. I don't need or want someone romantically in my life - I actually like to be alone (which people find weird but screw them). I've been looking into adoption since I was a teen (which really should have been another sign) and now since I'm in my later twenties have looked into adopting when I'm in my mid thirties and actually found myself excited for the future for once.
