I've been in two romantic relationships, both long distance. A couple of my friends asked me out, and since I couldn't figure out the difference between a close friendship and a romantic relationship, I said yes. While I was in the second one, I realized I was asexual, and through that, I learned about aromanticism. I didn't realize I was aromantic right away, but when the relationship ended, my other friends told me I was supposed to be feeling and supposed to have felt certain things, and I started realizing I might be aro, and certain things that happened made a lot more sense.
