Well, you're the only one that can know if you have a crush on them or not. You might want to think about your feelings and what you expect of the relationship if you want one and talk with her about it to see if you both want similar things. Since you call her your sister and your friend, I think it's more platonic than romantic. The dates you describe could be also something you do with a friend in a playful way, so it depends mostly on if you feel it's romantic or not.

Thanks for the replies! They aren't religious so I'm going to assume they want a huge party with a kid-sized cake to celebrate they have been together for X years and hope to be together forever (that's all I can get from the romantic part). And then the tax benefits (we have PACS in Spain too, but they have less benefits). I still don't want one for myself, but as long as they don't ask me when am o getting married, the party should be fun. I just hope I don't have to give a speech about love in any of the weddings because that would be interesting but awkward ?

That's the first step. Next I taking over the world =D

So, my question is why do people want to get married? Ive never wanted to get married so I'm genuinely curious about it. I've been invited to three weddings next year and although I'm happy about them, I don't get why they do it. I just feel it's a lot of paperwork to proof you want to be with someone (and it makes it really difficult if you ever want to break up). Any thoughts?

Nice to meet a fellow scientist! I have to say that's an amazing reason to watch horror movies.

An app? You mean someone's making an Aro-spec Tinder? Because that would be amazing! I was wondering how did people find QPPs. Thanks for replying to my rant, it's always nice to read someone else's perspective.

Hi! I'm in my late 20s and I'm questioning my romantic orientation. I think I'm alloaro, but no idea if I identify with any specific aro label yet. I'm here because I want to meet other aro-spec people to chat. I have no clue what to say about myself. I'm a scientist, I love fantasy and superhero stories, I enjoy reading fanfics (even the romantic ones if I like the ship), travelling, and going to shows (musicals, theatre, stand-up comedy). Nice to meet you!

Hi everyone! Well, this is my first interaction with the aro community so nice to meet you. English isn't my first language, so sorry if I make any mistakes. I'm in my late 20s and questioning if I'm aromantic. I've always thought that a romantic relationship was like having a best friend you had sex with, but seeing my friends with their partners, I assume I was wrong. I have been in 3 relationships before but I never wanted a future with them nor I needed to be with them all the time. In my last realtionship I even felt romance repulsed during the last few months, but I didn't know romance repulsion was a thing, so I felt terrible because he was a nice guy and it was obvious he was suffering because I wasn't as involved in the relationship as he was. I didn't knew you could be aromantic so I didn't know what was happening with me. I've had 2 friends with benefits and those have been the best relationships I've ever had. I wanted that kind of relationship but with more commitment, maybe I wanted to be QPRs? I'm not really sure. I think that more aromantic visibility would have made me question my romantic orientation earlier, which would have been helpful. So, that's it, that's all my rant. Thanks for reading.
