ah i've been there. asexuality =/= aromanticism. wish people would open their eyes and see those aren't interchangeable labels.

...Are you all dead?! There haven't been any new discussions as of recently, and almost no one is ever on. ANYONE HEEEEEEEERE?

YES!!! FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT!!!

I actually do this waaaaaaaaayyyyy too often.

I also remember having to fake a crush in primary school. (I might have already put this, but the memory still makes me laugh. )

Wow, that makes sense as to why you would want that. I wish you luck!

Never been in one.

Kinda the opposite of me. I have no interest ever in being in a romantic relationship, but if I consented to it, and actually liked that other person, I guess I would be comfortable in one. But I wouldn't do anything other then high-fives or the occasional hug, I guess. I can't say I ever showed an immense amount of signs when I was younger...but when I was around 8 years old, I had to fake having a "crush" to fit in with other girls and boys, so there's that. SAME.

Birthday cake ice cream!

I don't consider myself a musician, but I do play the violin! My most favorite thing to play is on the 'A' and 'E' string!

I never read the Percy Jackson series, sadly. Or, er, not sadly. It never really interested me. Anyway, as for Hogwarts Houses, I am a proud Gryffindor-Ravenclaw mashup! (Though I honestly feel more Ravenclaw-ish. XP)

I was about half-way through it...but then it contained some weird stuff and I found it to be too stereotypical, so I never finished it.

I tend to feel better in colder temperatures. Not freezing, per say, but more so cold. It helps me think (kind of weird, I know. :P).

I live in the Americas but my family's blood line is from India primarily. It's a nice place, still in that nostalgic area where you can still walk to school without worry and things matter more than phones, surprisingly. It's also a really beautiful country.

Yeah, pretty much. You can still be aromantic, and want to date, despite not feeling any attraction to a gender.

The first I definitely understand why you would find that weird. I would, to, honestly. But the second one, I mean, it's like if you were friends with someone, and they hurt or something, and then your best friend became friends with that person. Kind of like betrayal. (For the record I'm going off of logic, here. Not experience, lol. XP)

EXACTLY! There's more to a series than shipping!

Coming out? Well, I came out to my parents, siblings, and some of my friends and peers a while back. My parents accepted it pretty easily, because in my house romance isn't really accepted until I'm a lot older, and they know how terrible I would react to any sort of romance. My friends accepted it, as did my siblings, but when some of my peers came to know, they...were not the same, to put it in the least. My favorite reaction by far was when one of my classmates knew I wasn't into guys, he automatically assumed I was into girls, and when I told him I wasn't he said I was probably beastsexual, into animals. You gotta be kidding, I don't even know about that, and he does, yet he has never heard of aromantics (or even asexuals for that matter)?! Just goes to show how much people know!

Actually, I didn't really identify as anything until I learned the definition of aro/ace. So I suppose that I identified as aro/ace right from the start.

I feel somewhat the same. I actually am pretty romance-repulsed and have been classified as philophobic. I do ship fictional characters but if it's nonfiction and if it's even somewhat related to me I feel disgusted and all sick inside. It's weird.
