So whenever someone asks me it usually is different between whether the person is a "safe" person or not (because I am really nice to everyone I get a lot of unnecessary adoration from a lot of my school's delinquents). If it's a regular person I just say I am not interested while if it's a delinquent I am just sort of leave them hanging and run away (bc most of the time they are men that are known for being violent if things don't go their way) while my other tougher friends go up to them and threaten them to stay away. Not ideal but if often times I don't feel safe just saying I'm uninterested or I have a bf(they just keep asking who the guy is).

Can I just say that I'm slightly creeped out right now because everything you've said is just far too close to my own experience haha

I wouldn't recommend telling strangers that you're aro. I think Cee Fox is probably on the right track here.

Ah yeah, I should have worded that differently in my post. Usually I end up throwing a bunch of random excuses/hints at them, so I'm not straight up telling them I'm aro e.g. not interested in relationship, don't see the point of having a relationship

Up until now, I haven't really had a problem with people asking me out because in college I usually just kept to myself. Now that I'm in university I don't know what has changed but I got asked out by three people in the space of 2 weeks. Granted, one of these people is a close friend of mine and I wouldn't mind spending extra time with him as long as it doesn't turn into a romantic situation.

Does anyone have a method they use to keep people away from them or even just a nicer way to decline dates than me stammering trying to explain that I'm aro?
