Apathetic Echidna

Gerard Way

Rachel Weisz

so....I thought I was a default straight, then high standards straight, then I thought I was broken, then some sort of asexual, then I didn't care/focused on studies, then I thought I might be a sociopath and all my friends thought I would marry a serial killer, then back to high standards straight but broken, then I am fine being me and everyone else is weird, then finally aromantic.

I'd rather trip and gouge a chunk of flesh from my achilles tendon region with my other foot's big toe, then bleed and ruin a perfectly good dhurrie (I'm hoping some soaking in cold power can save it still!) than get married.

So the modern dance was more about individual or collective actions, there really wasn't any pairing for a significant time. I guess some movements could have been described as masculine or feminine but they weren't applied to the dancers in a gendered way, everyone did everything. The formal lessons covered things like foxtrot and waltz but there was rarely an even gendered class so there was some swapping of roles but it was fairly enforced that men 'lead', women 'follow'. Of course me and the other girl in the same modern dance school (not to mention the show-off ballet students) would mess the formal class up a fair amount of the time.

I agree with these statements, but as I see it as such a sexual thing it has to be private which is probably why I so aggressively ignore PDA. However quick peck kisses are sort of neutral. Intimate but not romantic or sexual (though wanting more than 3 a day is being greedy, and sometimes I'm not even comfortable with 1). Hand holding is a friendly thing, but linking arms is a romantic thing, but (I'm weird, I know) an arm around the shoulders is a mild sexual thing. Putting on some sort of cream/moisturiser with light rubbing is neutral or sexual, while massage -especially with oil- is a big honking no (there is some sort of repulsion at work but I'm not sure if it is specifically romantic). Sharing a bed is never romantic. Feeding someone else food is entirely romantic and it flicks all my repulsion boxes ~ I have never eaten food off of someone else or vice versa but seeing body shots squicks me out so I think I would be fairly repulsed by that too even if it is meant to be sexual. I guess baby talk and dirty talk are different things but both are a fairly big no from me so they might as well be the same. I think I am fairly indifferent to pet names, I can be accepting of them even if they are neutral, romantic or sexual. However there are some pet names I dislike, some I specifically identify as familial, and one I recognise as sexual. I guess it really depends on how I perceive the name and I react accordingly? One I forgot to mention before is dancing. I don't particularly think of dancing as romantic, probably because when I was prepubescent I did years of modern dance training and took formal dancing lessons. Dancing with someone else strengthens a connection, be it friendship or sexual........so I tend to only dance with people I already like.

I was thinking of the 1987 movie I didn't know there were other versions beyond the original short.

Would 'Fatal Attraction' fit in here?

Sadly we all feel the lack of formal research and papers on aromanticism. I just checked my regular source but sadly it is all about asexuals, which is having it's own problems with finding correct participants for studies. Exploring the forums here and other informal internet resources really seem like the only option right now. As for the other things I second what everyone else has said. You being okay with being in a relationship with an aromantic does not automatically mean the aromantic is okay with being in a relationship with a romantic. Guessing from my own knowledge, marriage maybe the one step too far - I know plenty of romantics who are repulsed by marriage or don't believe in the concept.

@hodges2 one of my friends loves that anime but I haven't watched it yet. Glad there is some characters that don't present as straight romos!

I'm offended you find a food receptacle gross.

I have only had durian as an icecream flavour (it did have chunks of the fruit in it too) and that was nice, but it smelt of socks. Never had the fresh stuff BUT assuming it is the same, yum? Pandan steamed cake!

I'd better say what I voted for before my birthday pushes me into another bracket! I am CURRENTLY 25. Ask me again in a few weeks.

YMBAI your mind says 'again?' in a slightly horrified voiceover voice when a recently heartbroken friend talks about their new 'love' (even more so) YMBAI your inner voiceover voice is stunned to silence when other people congratulate the aforementioned friend with comments like 'this will help you heal'
