    Demorgan, you're probably right. But I still think it's a good excuse to run away from a random guy. :P

     

    I get so paranoid too. I don't get hit on a lot, but it's happened enough that I tend to get really paranoid whenever a guy starts talking to me. 

    It's the worst with straight male friends though, I've gotten asked out by most of my male friends and it's always awful.

    I find it really weird that so many straight male friends do this, like one of my current friends would avoid me until I came out as aromantic because every male friend she had had asked her out at least once. I know all of my male friends in my high school friend group has a crush on another of my friends at different points, just why can't they just leave it at friends? :c

    To be fair, sittinf on someone's lap doesn't necessarily imply romantic attraction, my QPP does that to me all the time, monpolizes my arm, etc. Of course, that meant that in high school, everyonr mistook us for a couple (a lesbian one at that, which is doubly absurd because neither of us are female or allo), so I certainly won't deny that the implication of romance is a common one, it's jist that it's not necessarily universally applicable. I can certainly see why that sort of thing woild set you off though, it's completely understandable. (Sorry for the typos, the mobile site hates my phone and makes it so i can't edit what I've typed whenevr I'm making a post that includes a quote >.< )

    You're right, my bad :$. Just when I was writing it I was thinking of a time when it was me and 1 other friend in a group of 8 who were single and all the couples had the girl on the guy's lap and were snuggling and kissing while we tried to have a conversation with everyone. It was so awkward. I think the knowledge that it was romantic also contributes to being kinda repulsed.

    I'm usually fine with it, you do you, but when it gets to ridiculous levels I just have to go. Like when they are a new couple and they're constantly holding hands and glancing at each other really gets on my nerves, or when the girl just sits on the guys lap and they're cuddling and murmuring to each other just STOP. I look away when people kiss as well, it jsut seems strange to watch.

    Anything but this. I don't know why people think the AVEN definition of asexuality is so perfect. It's awkward. No one speaks like this. No one is going to tell another person, "I don't experience sexual attraction." You ever hear a gay man tell someone "I experience sexual attraction toward other men"?

    When I have to explain aromanticism to people this is what I say though, "I don't experience romantic attraction, I've never had a crush"
