i love my best friend (roommate) but she has friends over and she's been talking for ages about the guy she's seeing and idk how they haven't left lol, also the stuff they're all saying is pretty incomprehensible. i do think she purposely spares me this stuff for the most part

relatable! once when we were with a couple other friends (who don't know i'm aro) talking about the guy one of them's dating i said quietly to my best friend "it's like you're speaking a different language". just so boring and confusing lol but i'm sure not everything i talk about is interesting to everyone either.

i saw a movie from 1955 where this girl legit said the words "you just haven't met the right one" to her sister, and i'm like, oh heck, people have been saying that for a long time, eh?
-
i saw someone (not on here) whose username had 'aro' in it so i messaged her asking, "like aromantic?" she goes "how do you know???" apparently she'd never met any others. we had a good chat.

i was sick so i got tested for covid and it was negative, yay. whatever sickness it was was terrible (not the flu, i always get the shot) but i'm mostly recovered. ?
-
i'm 22 now! i guess i've known i'm aro for about 5 years...it feels like ages.
-
i'm a bride for halloween (my mom's dress) and my best friend said i looked beautiful and she would marry me ? i think next time i see her in person i'm going to ask her to friend-marry me (unofficial)
-
i'm hooking up/hanging out with this guy and he doesn't seem romantically attracted to me or do anything which makes me uncomfortable. that's all, just yay.
-
i'm moving back to the city, this time with my best friend. we're going to be so happy 💚
-
just allo aro things: i was taking a survey about female sexuality and media, and i got to the last page which was personal agree/disagree statements, and several were n/a because of my aromanticism so i couldn't finish it.
-
just btw, i'll gladly answer pretty much any question you have for me, whether apropos of something i wrote or of nothing. i may not be thrilled with everything allos ask me, but i know you guys are always motivated by genuine interest and open-mindedness and i love talking to you.

Whew, I can relate to this a lot. People thinking it's acceptable to blow off their friends irritates me a lot. My first long-term girlfriend regularly criticized me for not blowing off my friends to be with her instead, and I told her that was a shitty thing for her to ask me to do, but she maintained it was not. It's frustrating that mistreating friends is normalized.
I think I'm out of questions for now, but this has been great. Feel free to contact me any time if you want to talk. There have been some interesting conversations on Tumblr lately about the intersection of aromanticism and polyamory, though I think a lot of it would just be really obvious to you.

Just wanted to say to both of you that I really enjoyed reading this conversation
. Good questions from @Eklinaar and interesting and thoughtful responses from @aro_elise.

just saw a tumblr post which called being allo aro/allo ace "none pizza with left attraction". amazing
-
just watched love with the proper stranger (1963) and a character differentiated "sexual attraction," "romance," and "love" (in an explanation of how only the last is a good reason to marry someone). i was impressed. (although despite the movie being about a single woman planning to get an abortion, they don't say that word, nor even "pregnant". so yeah, the old days.)

lmao i took an aro survey and the options for sexual orientation were lesbian, gay, bisexual, pansexual, asexual, and other. so that's the first and probably last time i've checked 'other' for my sexual orientation and a listed option for my romantic orientation.
-
lmao someone emailed me and addressed me as luna, then sent a follow-up email apologizing for the wrong name but ironically addressed that one to elsie. well, she's getting closer.
-
my best friend and i sometimes hang out with these other 2 girls and in the group chat one girl said that the guy she's been seeing is now her bf and the other girl said she should "spread that (success in getting a partner) to the rest of us" and i'm thinking, speak for yourself lol
-
my best friend cried because the guy she's been hooking up with for just a few months isn't sure he wants to date her (she wasn't either until recently!) and i expressed sympathy but...you know what i was thinking :/
-
my best friend got me pink tulips since she won't be home tomorrow (valentine's day) 💗
-
my best friend is seeing this guy who lives kind of far away so they agreed to "keep it casual" but she's sure she's going to "catch feelings" and whenever she talks about it i have no idea what to say (she knows)
-
my best friend just called me her best friend and told me she loves me endlessly and i cried. i'll never get tired of hearing that stuff.
-
my friend was talking about this guy she hooked up with, said she wanted him to like her romantically even though she didn't want to date him?? said she knew i wouldn't understand (she knows i'm aro) and wishes she could be like me.

my hold on 'loveless' has come in! just finishing 'frankenstein' and looking forward to starting
