I travel mostly on my own but sometimes I go to visit people I know abroad, or with an agency in a tour depending of the safety of the country. On place I travel with public transportation. I think that traveling with an activity is great too. For example volunteering, working, studying. I actually plan to travel to China to study chinese in a school.

- I don't have squishes but sometimes aesthetical attraction - I don't mind romance in movies, books, series, music,... - I am a Backstreet Boys' fan for 29 years they only sing love songs and I think that one of them AJ would be the one for me if I wasn't aromantic - I don't mind spending time with couples (as long as they don't spend their time kissing, flirting, ... I just think this is so irrespectful to do that when you are with one other person who has nobody else to talk to when you do that and why do you want to see your friend if you spend your time flirting and kissing what's the point) - I am very happy to be aromantic, I just love being alone and that the only moment I feel well - I watch chinese dramas which are mostly about love - Sometimes I wonder what's wrong with me because I am 40 yo and never been asked for a date, nobody has never been interested in me Well that's all I have in mind right now and not even sure this fit the topic sorry if it doesn't

Well I have had a hard childhood but I am sure that I was born aromantic.

Thank you so much!! :-D Well I prefer being alone that with this kind of people again. Yes it is really hard I am working about it with a specialist and it helps a lot it is good to talk about it with someone she is really openminded and nice. And this forum really helps too I feel less alone and it is great to see I am not the only one.

Thank you. Yes being aro is not easy and I don't think it change with the age. Well I've tried to learn German but never been able to talk I remember a few words. I wish I could speak it one day. I will check it I didn't think about it. Thank you! Actually my friends from high school were the ones not accepting me and they hurt me a lot. I am trying to become an actress so I take acting class, try to find projects in which acting and I already did some extras in movies and tv shows. I meet a lot of people but didn't really got closed to many of them. I talk with 2 of this people sometimes.

I am talking with 2 people that I met on this forum on Instagram sometimes but not really close to any of them. I have 2 people in my life whom I can maybe called friends but not always sure that they really accept me. One is a girl I met at a concert a long time ago we kept in touch and we talk a lot but sometimes it more like she talks to me because she has nobody else to talk to. The other one is a guy I work with in some short movies in which I act he is the director. We talk a lot but I don't know if we can say that we are close friends I think he is the one who accept me the most he is really open as his sister is genderfluid and polyamorous. But well who knows maybe I will find some new friends in the future. My profile picture is the aro flag with and ace flag in the shape of an ace. I found it on internet I am from France but I havn't find any aro meet-up for the moment aromanticism is really totally unknown here.

Same here no desire for the "society requirements" as I call it but I never thought I would be at 40 yo without friends because people don't accept who I am. Fortunately for me I am a very lonely person but having good friends, knowing long last friendship is something I would have wanted. :-D It took me a while to find out about aromanticism and now I accept myself the way I am and hope that someday people will like me as I am (platonically of course, as a friend) even if in my country people don't know what aromanticism is for the moment. When I say that I am aromantic they just think that I am not a romantic person like the romantic things couples do so it will take time I guess

Well I am a Backstreet boys' fan who only sing love songs and I don't feel anything they talk about

I always knew it except that I didn't know there was a word for it. For as long as I remember I've never been interested by being in a relationship or by sex. I have had a hard childhood and have been rejected a lot by a lot of people my entire life but somewhere inside me I knew that it has nothing to do with it. I've always been happy this way and always thought of the future as me being single not even once was I able to picture myself in a relationship and I have never been in a relationship!! I have the chance to be that girl that nobody wanted to date back at school time and it didn't change after and I feel really lucky about that because I didn't have to force myself into something I didn't want. I've just lived my life on my own; living experiences, travelling, making things for me, the way I wanted and what I wanted without wondering why I still didn't want a relationship I found out about the word aromanticism last year only (and I am 40 yo), the first time I read about it I just knew that it was me, the description was just fitting me so well. Then I found this forum and some aspecs people on instagram and I could relate so much to what they were saying. And same for asxuality even if I knew this word before I think I didn't have the need to identify as asexual at this time as it really has no importance for me. But now I am proud to say that I am aroace :-D

Just did the test and I am ISFP

reading, acting, watching tv, walking, listening music, meditation, learning other languages ...I love and I am interested in so many things and I always find new ones just love learning new things

I am definitely a solo traveler too but I don't mind going with a friend when I have the opportunity. The good thing when you travel is that you do exactly what you want, with no plans for the visit, don't have to do things you don't want to like shopping I really don't like shopping... Do with your budget and not have to spend more because she/he wants to go somewhere too expensive for you.... I don't drive so I very dependant of public transport and unfortunately I can't always go every where I would like to. I really have to get my driving license. There is so many places in this world that I want to see and I don't mind doing it alone 😁

Hello! I actually won't be able to tell you what romantic attraction is as I don't feel it either. But Having sexual attraction is different from having romantic feelings you may want to have sex with someone but not wanting more than sex. You can read the topics on this forum maybe it will help you find out if you are aro or not but be sure that nobody else than you can really know. I don't know your age but sometimes it takes time to find who you really are. I am 39 soon 40 and I found about aromanticism a bit more than a year ago. Reading about it, the testimonies of people here or in instagram really helped me to figure out that I am aro and always were. I have never been in a relationship in my entire life, never been in love, never been interested in having a relationship. As far as I remember I always wanted to be alone and never imagined myself with anyone. I just know that I am aesthatically attracted to men and not women. Just listen to yourself and don't let people put pressure on you. You can have the life you want to have, nobody has the right to say anything about it if you really are aro there is nothing wrong with you, you can be really happy as well. Don't hesitate to hask more question if you need

I did exactly the same thing!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Your welcome that's why the forum is here !!
