  1. Like, virtually, or in real life? I think real life would be pretty hard to pull off considering the geographical spread here, not to mention the age range (I know internet safety awareness is basically nonexistent here but I do hope the kids still at least know better than to meet up with strangers). Have you checked Aces and Aros to see if there's one near you?

    The person who first described romance to me as "hyperfixation on a specific person" has ADHD and is also on the aromantic spectrum, like me.  She was just trying to help me understand romance in terms legible to us, hence the neurodivergent analogy.  Rest assured that no kicking of her shins is necessary! :)

    OH ok lol, that’s totally understandable then! I thought maybe it was like, The Hot New Way To Define Romantic Attraction which would be terrible. Glad to hear that’s not the case lol. 

  3. People are describing it as "hyperfixation on a specific person?" Ohhhhh I'm gonna beat their asses. Hyperfixation is a specific experience unique to people with ADHD and certain other types of neurodivergence, and using that as a term to describe regular ass neurotypical folks experiencing romantic attraction is a dick move. Sorry, I guess that's kind of off topic, but I think whoever told you that needs to get kicked in the shins.

    Anyway, as for the other stuff, uh, I can't really explain very well because I don't experience it. I guess it's intent? I'm nonpartnering, so I absolutely do not want a QPR or anything along those lines, but I guess like... I'd be happy to have a friend invite me to see a movie, but not to see a movie As A Date, you know?

    I don't even know the person, I posted on reddit about a video of a woman doing kiss pov, and that I felt uncomfortable by it, then this person told me that. And now I'm very confused, I don't know if what I felt for men and women was a crush or just a squish, I'm confused, I wasn't even thinking about it before this person told me that.

    I read about qpr and I don't feel comfortable with it, I feel like i will miss something, I really want to marry a woman, have kids and etc. But now my mind is convincing me that I can't, before this person told me that, my biggest fear was "what if when I finally kiss or start to date a woman I realize I don't like it" and now I'm very confused, I'm so confused about cupioromantic because they have the desire to it

    Ah, I see. Well, this is just my opinion, but it sounds to me like you're probably just a lesbian who's nervous about stuff- Which is perfectly normal and ok! Relationships can be scary and confusing. Take things at your own pace and don't worry too much about labels. If the aromantic spectrum sounds right to you sometime in the future, then it's worth returning to, but as things stand right now I think it's better to take it easy than to worry too much about. well. A stranger's reaction to your reaction to a weird video online, lol. I really don't think it's that big of a deal. Take care!

  5. Buddy, everything is chemicals in the brain. I get it, but like, I think maybe you need to talk to other people? Plenty of people talk about things other than romance. You can be frustrated with the prevalence of romance in our society without acting like other people are stupid for having feelings that you don't. Superiority complexes don't help anybody.

  6. Look into classic gothic literature. There’s a lot of great stuff out there that’s all about introspection and the meaning of the human condition, but a lot of people nowadays just don’t read it because they’re afraid of anything that’s older than the 80s. Dracula in particular is good when it comes to having lots of suspense and thinking one step ahead of the enemy, without having Death Note’s problem of every character other than L and Matsuda having the personality of dehydrated cardboard, lol.

  7. I mean, some people start experiencing sexual attraction pretty young. There’s no reason someone can’t be allo aro at a young age. 
    If you’re looking for general guidance on sexual relationships and such, I recommend Scarleteen. It’s a sex ed resource that is (as the name implies) aimed at teens, though it’s useful for all ages, and it tends to be very inclusive when it comes to LGBTQ+ issues and “what if I want x type of relationship but not y”. Give it a look if you haven’t already, I found it very helpful when I was younger.

  8. It sounds kind you’re probably alloromantic asexual, meaning you experience romantic attraction but a lack of sexual attraction. This website is for people who are aromantic, meaning they experience a lack of romantic attraction, but may or may not experience sexual attraction (I’m aromantic and bisexual). I recommend looking for an asexual-specific space such as AVEN for better support.

  9. It is true that women's clothes often have more comfortable fabric than men... But on the other hand, a lot of women's clothes are so thin and cheaply made that they fall apart easily, and since the fabric is so thin, even people with fairly flat chests have to wear a bra or camisole (sometimes uncomfortable and/or expensive) lest everyone possibly see the vague shape of a nipple and get scandalized. Honestly, the state of the clothing industry right now is ridiculous. I really very strongly encourage everyone to learn some basic sewing skills, they will take you far.
