Yeah... I know. I hope she understands me, I don't want her to leave me. I guess that I will start by telling her that I am ace, since I think it is easier to say... Thanks for your advice.

Good article, I think that many of us would relate to it. Why everyone looks so desperate for falling in love, and dating, and living a happy "ever after"? Many times people talk about romantic love as if life was empty, lonely and dark without it, and it is sad. When I think about a twelve year old me, happily talking about how satisfied was I going to be living in my own house with plants and animals, and with no partner, it surprises me that it took me so much time to figure out I am aro.

Lemme put you up in situation. I am in a romantic relationship with my best friend since three years ago. A few weeks ago I realised I am aromantic, and after this discovering I started feeling more awkward during the romantic part of our relationship than I've ever been (even if the romantic part of our relationship is super small, I mean, we act like bros mostly of the time). The point is that I would like to change the dynamic of our relationship from romantic to queerplatonic, but I don't know how to tell her this without hurting her. Another important point is that she doesn't know that I am aroace, since she thinks I am allosexual and alloromantic, and that is also a huge problem... Have you ever been in similar situations? Any idea of what should I do...?

I guess that u can find adults cute if you are also an adult, or if you have emotional closeness to the adult. This is a mood. I find super cute some of my friends, the way they act sometimes is adorable, and I feel the same way when I am with my partner (I am in a "romantic" relationship but I feel no romantic attraction for her), so I guess that alloromantics might feel something similar...

Another song that I LOVE (because of the rhythm, not the lyrics) is My number one, of the band Dream Evil. At first it sounds like the typical love song, but the more attention you pay to it, the more it sounds creepy. It talks about an obsession, a weird and sick kind of love... I don't know if the main intention was to make it sound creepy, but it is. Some of the lyrics are: You're my secret passion and I have no other You're delicious So capricious If I find out you don't want me I'll be vicious .... You're addiction My conviction You're my passion, my relief, my crucifixion Never leave me And believe me You will be the sun into my raining season Never leave me And believe me In my empty life you'll be the only reason

Hei, here a question. I thought for some time that I was demiromantic and sometimes I wonder if I am or if I am fully aromantic. How is it to develop romantic feelings suddenly for someone you have known for a lot of time? I mean, how does it feel?

EEEWWWW! I'm vegetarian, NOPE. Watermelon.

I LOVE this book, it is so beautiful. Radio silence, of the same writer, also has aro characters. I know abou an instagram post which mentions some books with aroace characters, gimmie a moment and i'll post here the link... https://www.instagram.com/p/CVayqhlJ_QS/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link here it is

Yeah, I know, maybe it is more, maybe it is less... That's what I've found

After reading this question I realised that I know that 1% of the population is asexual, but that I didn't actually know which was the percentage for aromatics. After reading a bit, I found that the 25% of the asexual people identifies as aromantic, and that 4.3% of people who are allosexual are aromantic. According to this, a 4.5% of the world population is aromantic. This means that there are 351.000.000.000 aromantics in the world... I don't know how accurate is this, but this is what I found.

A small wolf would be super cute and easier to keep than a huge hamster. WYR that everybody could read your mind or losing ALL your hair (in head, legs, face...)

I LOVE metal, and all it's subgenres. I am currently obsessed with symphonic metal (which sounds like a mix of metal, opera and classical music). I also like country, rap, hip hop, rock, ska... A bit of everything, but I don't like reggaeton nor trap.

OBVIOUSLY FROGS! Moths are also so beautifuls and bees~~~ For some reason I think that clovers are very aro, as well as the vikings. We all could be vikings.

Welcome new friend:)

I WANNA SEE PLS PLS PLSSS I ALSO LOVE BEESSSS

Hi! I am from Spain and I would love to meet other aros who live close to me, and even meet them face to face. If you are not from Spain, I would also love to meet you:D Which are your hobbies? What do you like? I love tattoos (someday I would love to have my own studio), I really like drawing, and reading, and sculpting... I like sport, plants, animals, night, art... My kind of personality is ENFP, for those interested.

Well, yeah, this is a good idea, another reason added to the list Why do I love moths. Anyone here loves moths too? They are super cute:(

The feminine words end up in -a, masculine words end up in -o, so for non binary people we use the termination -e.

Hi! So, to start, you could talk about what it is to be trans, what does it mean to be non-binary, talking about intersexuality and dysphoria, some tips to pass (for trans people, obv), posts about neopronouns and how do we use them... And, other thing, in the phrase "cómo ser un buen aliade", the correct way of typing it is "cómo ser une buene aliade", since the adjectives and the determinants in spanish also have gender.

I don't know if more people feel this way, but, does anybody have kinks that are not sexual? I mean, I am a huge sadomasochist, like, a LOT, but my fantasies never end up in sex or something related to sex (I am very asexual, yeah). I feel the turning up thing but I don't want it to end up in sex, and if it does I feel repulsed and/or mindly blocked

Yeah... Are you aromantic? I mean, it is good that you want to meet other people and to share your interests, but in your profile says that you are straight, and, as Jot-Aro Kujo has said, this is a forum for aromantic people, so...

You could start by asking them... Maybe you are wrong and they want to be in a qpr with you, you won't know until you ask them.

Well, I guess that when u have a crush you want to do romantic things with them... I don't know, going on dates, walking on the beach at sunset, something like that. When you have a squish you want to do the typical best friend things with them and have that kind of emotional closeness. The feeling might be similar but I don't think it is the same one, I mean, it is said that you think about your crushes 24/7, and I don't think about my squishes all the time, so...

It came just after discovering myself as ace. I was reading about asexuality and the I found the term aroace. I knew about aromanticism but I didn't even think about the option of not being allo until that moment, and then I started thinking about what does romantic attraction feels like, and questioning whether I had feel it before. It was very hard for me to finally set myself as aro because: 1- There is no accurate definition of romantic attraction and the "wanting to be in a romantic relationship with someone" didn't make sense to me. 2- I am dating the girl who has been my best friend for six years (but I don't see our relationship as romantic). 3- I thought that wanting emotional closeness with someone was the same thing as being romantically attracted to someone. After some time of investigating, reading other aro's experiences, and listening to the feelings of some allos, I finally came to the conclusion that I am aro.
