  1. Got to read it for school and look into the history of it and that is what happened the author based the Jo character off herself and she never got married nor wanted a husband the publishers wanted the book to be more socially acceptable and so they made her add in the character. (This is not confirmed but i read somewhere she purposely made him twice her age and unattractive so she could get back at the publishers by not giving them “Prince Charming”)
  2. I’m sorry you feel that way while I’m Demi romantic and can’t help too much maybe you could consider a queer platonic relationship or committed friendship?

      Thankfully! I used some heating packs and they helped plus time.

  9. I can only relate to parts of this being a Demi-ro with different life experiences but I understand the “something is not right”. This whole essay is beautifully written and conveys so much emotion in your words it makes me feel emotions I went through of not feeling normal and the pang in my heart that came with that. All in all this is an amazing piece and I’m so glad you found a community here with everyone including myself.
  10. Money probably I just want top surgery lol and I think a genie would twist it in some way money or being able to speak 100 languages of your choice
  11. A white ring on the middle finger is an aro symbol

  13. Going to give it to my little brother and see how he responds the next person wins a security guard who is actually just a clown in disguise
  14. If it’s my size that’s perfect I lost one the next person gets one 14 inch index fingernail from your least favorite relative
  15. That’s helpful to hear that at least I’m not overthinking things, sometimes I feel like I’m making a big deal over nothing and that I sound like a whiny teenager I’m going to see what options I have considering one of the teachers is our assistant principal who manages reports.
  16. So something I have thought about a little bit over the past few days is how often I get asked how it feels to feel romantic attraction by other people on the aro community that don’t experience romantic attraction or are unsure about their identity. So I think I should say this: romance will not feel the same for any two people, romance like gender is a very individual experience, sadly it is unlikely asking people how it feels to be in love (romantically) will tell someone enough to determine if they are aromantic or not. Your identity is your own and it is ok if you don’t understand it yet. (Also I should say I am not frustrated at all about these questions I just figure this might be helpful for some people.)
  17. I obviously can’t say for certain because I am not there but it’s super easy to project past experiences onto your current relationships (romantic, sexual or platonic) (I would know my boyfriend has to deal with it and tell me when he thinks that’s what I’m doing) just be cautious I encourage you to keep an open mind and if you believe it is safe, communicate and tell them how you feel. Also be sure to keep yourself safe if you feel this is an attempt to have control your life do keep your distance. Be safe <3
  18. I encourage you to not view romance/a romantic relationship as a trap. for many people it is an expression of their type of love and is often a show of vulnerability and trust. This is not supposed to mean you have to accept or even lower your frustration about the situation, you are allowed to feel angry and upset about this situation because you are provided with information that the relationship your currently have may be changed and change can be hard. Additionally something about romantic relationships as a person who is in one and can experience romantic attraction. it is not necessarily “sacrificing” your freedom (at least not in healthy relationships) it is more like having a friend who you are closer to then anyone else who you communicate and make some decisions with. If it is something you can experience it is an amazing thing but not everyone views it like that and that is ok you have a different view on romance then anyone else because we are all different people who have different experiences.
  19. So as I have mentioned before I have a boyfriend and we do not hide our relationship in our school. We don’t run into a ton of problems but one has been jabbing us in the side for about two years now. There are two teachers who will ask really weird questions about our relationship like asking us for a typed out copy of our love story whenever we pass him in the hallway (we laughed the first time thinking it was joke but he just keept asking), accusing us of making out in the bathroom (witch we have never done), asking who is “top”, asking my boyfriend if I have had “the surgery” (I’m transgender) and one told me I couldn’t have a demiromantic pin because I am in a relationship. It’s really weird and we have told them to stop. I don’t know if I’m overthinking this or if it’s actually weird. Additionally these teachers never do this to anyone else and I’m not sure if it’s because we are a mlm (man loving man) couple (I don’t know of any other not hidden queer relationships) or if it’s just because they are weird.
