    I confess, that one of the main reasons I'm wanting for a companion/partner is, because of how I am restricted in life, and I am afraid that people would either tell me that's codependency or even, say that wanting a partner to make up for my deficits is no different than wanting a "better half" to "become whole" and therefore inherently romantic :/

    most of the reason I want someone as a part of my life is, tho, because it would make housing, food, laundry, and vacationing all a lot more manageable and affordable. Also, social events would be more accessible lol, since there are a lot of things that are awkward if you go to them alone.

    So true! One of my fears is being in a foreign country, alone and broke

    I don't want to be in a relationship, but I also want to travel the world! so frustrating >_<

    I was always really scared to ID as aro because it sounds so final, so categorical.

    Its not just finding it hard to determine the lack of something you never had, but also ruling out the possibility of it. So far  the whole romance thing is so off putting, it sounds unreal, unlikely, but what if I change? What if I wake up one day when I'm old and regret not trying harder, not doing one more year of fake it til you make it?

     

    I also worry that I'll wake up one day regretting never been in a relationship

    I've even considered "testing" it out and just winging it with a relationship before, but I always come up with the conclusion that romantics deserve someone who can actually reciprocate their feelings, instead of a platonic/familial love that they have to put up with

  3. Back when I was in dental school, one of my patients was a 30 year old surgeon who came in complaining of a dislodged filling.

    Unlike private practices where patients fill out a form while in the waiting area, dental students had to fill them out themselves by interviewing the patients as part of their training

    Anyways, when I got to the marital status question, he said that he was single, right as a colleague of mine (who was side-eyeing us from afar) walked past and she heard it

     

    After he left she ran right up to me, grabbed me by the shoulders and said that I'd "make an ass of myself if I let that one go!"

    She said that so vehemently that everyone in the clinic turned around and listened in, which caused the gossip and rumors to spread to the other female students (they even joked about how I secretly asked if he was single and used the form as a prop smh)

     

    My reaction to all of this was pretty blank lol and it confused them all so much

     

    Luckily for me, he never showed up for his second appointment, so that was the end of that! 9_9

    Even though I find I fit the aro spec more each day, I hesitate to call myself aromantic because I'm such a complete NERD for the romantic era poets and it's not exactly the same thing BUT WHY IS LANGUAGE HARD.

     

    Aromantic just means lack of romantic attraction, it doesn't mean you can't like/enjoy the concept of romance

     

    I identify as aromantic because I've never experienced a crush or "fell" for anyone (seriously why are such painful words used to describe romantic love? I don't want to fall thank you, and I don't want to crush anyone lol)

     

    I also enjoy watching/ reading romance, just as long as none of that lovey-doveyness is directed towards me xD

     

    I hope this helps, even though you don't need to label yourself if you're having a hard time doing so, IMO :icecream:

  5. Oh I just remembered another one!

     

    I was on the bus one time and the guy sitting next to me decided to strike up a conversation, asking me my name, what I studied, etc and trying to get to know me

    I was in a good mood so I continued the conversation, completely oblivious to the fact that he was hitting on me lol

     

    It wasn't until he asked for my number that things got really awkward, and because we were getting close to my stop and I just couldn't bring myself to say "no" without sounding rude about it, I just gave it to him right before I got off, and then immediately blocked his number when I was sure he couldn't see me

     

    It was such a cringe moment >_<

    Honestly, hearing her talk about how he's started puberty made me want to gag a little.

    Ew! Who does that? How can someone gush about puberty? xD

     

    Also how in the world did your 9 year old cousin manage to find herself a long-distance boyfriend?

     

    Kids these days 9_9

  7. Luckily for me, I'm completely oblivious to other people's intentions/feelings towards me 99.9% of the time

     

    But the moment I'm made aware of it, my body feels like caving in on itself

    Worst thing evar!

     

    There was an aro tumblr pic I can't find anywhere, but it said "I'd rather listen to dogs barking outside my window, than have a man tell me how much he wants me" or something like that

  8. I confess that I've lied a couple of times to people because I was tired of having to explain my single-ness every time

     

    I remember telling a girl in my batch that I had a manipulative ex back in high school who turned me off on the idea of dating, even though I've never dated lol

     

    I feel bad because she believed me though :/

     

    Does anyone else have similar aro experiences to share?

     

     

     

    I'm not sure if this belongs here or in arcade because the topic itself may veer into serious territory or may end up being silly lol

    Please mod accordingly :3
