These have probably been said already, but I'm too lazy to read all the responses lol.
- We just can't get a partner/no one likes us that's why we're alone
- We have some sort of mental illness (depression usually) that makes us this way
- We don't like physical contact
- We don't like romance in media
- We just have intimacy issues
- We just have commitment issues
- We can't form emotional attachments
- We can't love anyone
- We were involved in some sort of trauma that made us this way
- We're asexual too
- That's not a real thing/stop trying to label everything
- If you enter a relationship you're no longer aro

Sherlock
Supernatural - few relationships
Touch - there are relationships, but the main focus is the kid and his relationship with his dad
Warehouse 13 - there's romance at the end but it feels forced tbh. (this was almost an aro show )

@IceHurricane you have a crazy paralleled mind to be able to hold that many things straight. I think my limit is about 13 or so, but that was at school and counting text books and required readings along with my personal pleasure reading interests.
Just for interest, what ships are you reading now -or maybe just tell me the fandoms. Are they similar or are they very different? I would think different would be easier to keep straight....
I have basically out-read my recent ship, so I may start seeking new work though I am basically in love with a couple of writers and will follow them to their new fandoms rather than part with their writing styles.
Haha yeah, you're right. It's easier to read multiple fics when they're all different fandoms and pairings whereas if you read a bunch from the same ship/fandom they'll all start to blur together and you don't remember what happened in which fic and it's a disaster.
And sure!
Sasuke/Sakura
Naruto/Sasuke
Neji/Hinata
Draco/Harry
Sam/Dean
Steve/Bucky/Darcy
Clarke/Lexa
L/Light
Judy/Nick
The last show I watched was Naruto which is why most of them are from that fandom.

are they all of different ships?
that is crazy! ......although at the height of my shipping fever a few months ago I was reading 21+ fanfics in a weekend, all the same ship though so my brain wasn't too taxed.
Not all different, but mostly yes. I'm reading 2 or 3 fics of certain pairings but no more than that.
I try to only read 2 at a time but I keep thinking about more fics I want to read and I can't focus on the fics I'm currently reading until I get my fix from the new one then I can go back to the old ones and before I know it I'm reading 10+ fics all at once

I'm a huge shipper!!
I can ship literally anything. Seriously, you should see my ship list, it's neverending. I spend all my free time reading fanfiction of all different ships. I'm not joking. This past month I've been jobless and I've done nothing but eat, sleep, and read fanfiction. It's unhealthy. I'm currently reading 13 fics right now. I love reading about two (or more!!!) people falling in love. I assume it's because I can't experience it myself, but really who knows the reason? It makes me happy tho so I don't question. Like, really happy. I get this warm feeling in my chest and I'm all smiles whenever I read it and I'd imagine this is what love feels like. I love love.
B U T
Even though I'm obsessed with shipping and I read fanfics all day, I HATE when ships become canon in the actual show/book/movie. Shipping should only be a fanon thing. I can't stand it when there's unnecessary romance in shows and books. Like, if I wanted to watch two people getting together, I'd watch a romance novel. And this isn't it. I'm here to watch people kick ass not drama and love triangles. And this is how ship wars happen and division in fandom. I'd rather no ship become canon (because the show's not about that) than having one win and make half the fandom upset. No matter how much I ship someone in fanon, I would never want to see them together in canon. Ever. It's happened a lot, and I feel it just ruins the ship. For example, I loved Emma and Hook from Once Upon a Time but once they actually got together, I grew tired of them. I started to hate the pairing. Part of the fun of shipping is the endless possibilities there are for your pair. There are many different ways they can meet and share their first kiss and all that stuff. Once you see it on screen/paper, it's final. It limits you. And sometimes no matter how budgeted your film or book is, your imagination will always be greater when seeing your pairing together.
Sorry for the long post. I'm really passionate about shipping.

I never really 'came out'. If someone asks me what my orientation is, I'll tell them, and if they don't know what it is (which they normally don't) I'll explain it. But only if they ask, or the subject is brought up. Say, if they were to assume I was something else, I would correct them. I never did the whole "mom, dad, I'm aromantic" thing. Also I guess posting aromantic stuff on Facebook counts. Because I'm asexual as well as aromantic, I always say things like "I don't like anyone, male or female", "I'm not interested in anyone sexually or romantically" and "I don't want to date anyone, I'm happy being alone" when I'm questioned, and that was my way of 'coming out'. In those instances, I never actually said the words aromantic or asexual, but it gets my point across.

When you haven't hit puberty yet essentially. When the people around you still aren't into dating and relationships either. When boys are still 'gross' and girls still have 'cooties'. That's too young.

I think he had like two crushes on the whole show but no relationship resulted from them. So we could kinda fanwank it into that he was confused about strong emotional or sexual feelings.
Yes, I like this idea.

- I never thought about getting married or my wedding as a kid. I'd tell people I'm never getting married
- I never saw the appeal of kissing. My best friend at the time told me that she was addicted to kissing her boyfriend, and I was just like how????
- When I got to high school (before I knew the label) I just knew I didn't want to date anyone
- When I had celebrity crushes, I didn't want to date them or be with them, I just wanted to meet them and shake their hands, maybe hug them. Celebrity squishes lol. I never kissed any posters or daydreamed about them like most teenage girls did at my age.
- I made up crushes. Someone would tell me this guy and I would look cute together and *BAM* I started obsessing over them

I've been in relationships before, but they were more out of pity than anything. The first one was when I didn't know about aromanticism. But the last two I knew, and I still did it. It's stupid. They liked me and I felt bad so I dated them so they would be happy. One of my 'relationships' was just a friends-with-benefits gone wrong. He got feelings and wanted more, but I didn't, yet I still let him do romantic things with me.
Honestly, I know this is horrible, but I'm in a pity relationship right now. Actually, it's really just experimenting, though. Still out of pity, but I'm actually gaining something from it. Trying new things. Sexual and not. She knows I don't feel anything for her, and she's okay with that. She still wants to be with me. I know I probably should break up with her, though. Since we're in it for all the wrong reasons and I'm not happy. I just feel bad. I'm a people-pleaser. I can't help it.

All of my ideas of aromantic characters are also asexuals in my mind as well. >.< It's like they always go hand in hand when thinking of characters even though I know they really don't. Like Hannibal, Will, Dexter, Sasuke, Sheldon, Light, L, Near.
The only ones that I can think of that aren't asexual in my mind is Dean Winchester and Jessica Jones. They don't seem like the romantic types, but they do have lots of sex. Maybe Katniss Everdeen. People view her as asexual too, but idk I'm leaning towards aro only. I also kinda see Matt from Death note as aro. I don't have anything to go by tho, just a headcanon.
Also, I haven't seen enough of Friends to really have an opinion, but I've always considered Joey to be aro. Maybe not tho cuz didn't he like Rachel?
