    I also get really afraid that my friends will develop crushes on me. It's happened twice before and it's absolutely awful. I care about them so much, but I can't the way they want me to and it kills both of us.

    I feel like thiswith straight   guys. Somehow whenever I thought I was about to make friends with one, I always had to find out they had a crush on me and when I told them I wasn't interested, they either wouldn't stop trying, so I got annoyed and broke the contact, because I couldn't stand it anymore or they broke the contact themselves. None of them were fine with "just" being my friend. The closest I've ever been to being friends with a guy was with someone who was more of a friends friend than my friend. We got along really well, but weren't really that close and he also was gay, so obviously I wouldn't have the same problem with him.

    I've had this happen to me with straight guys as well, 3 times in total. It would always really shock me because I've always had a mix of male and female friends so I don't think of they way they treat me before they ask me out as anything special, but I sure as hell was scared of them afterwards. It also makes me very suspicious of all my other friends for a while.

     

    I keep putting off shareing mine, but since I'm posting anyway. My fears connected to my aromanticism are how it affects my mental health. Every time someone has asked me out my reaction has got worse (since the same old thing of them continuing to pursue me happens everytime), and this may be only one of a number of things which makes it worse but it causes the most damage. It would be much easier to get better if I wasn't living in fear of another metaphorical bomb being dropped.

    Anyone ever made their own ice cream? I remember we made some blackcurrent ice cream some years ago, it was great :D

    I made some with a family friend once. Full on by hand, using a bowl of ice and everything. It took forever but tasted great :)

    Spoilers for the epilogue of Naruto ahead.

     

    I really think Sasuke from the manga Naruto is aromantic and asexual. Throughout the series he is noticeably the only person who isn't affected in any way by other people's sexual nudity. The person he feels the most for is his brother. It's the strongest relationship in the entire series, also his driving force. He does eventually get married and have a kid but even with his wife, his display of affection is a poke on the forehead. There's nothing flirtatious about their marriage at all. If you didn't know they were married, they'd just seem like very close serious friends. In the entire series he's never entertained a romantic or sexual thought.

    I think Kaylee from Firefly maybe bi aro? She doesn't have much interest in romance and is more interested in the family and in engines. She does have sexual interest in boys and very much appreciates females. Plus she is a cutie.

    I haven't thought about either of these before, but now I've been told them yes, I can definitely see them. Now I really want to re-watch both series (again) :P

     

    I'm a big fan of the idea of Supernatual's Dean being aro too. I actually don't really think of the character as being aro, but he's my favourite so I'm quite happy to project myself on to him a ton and no one can stop me!

    i also wonder if I were asexual due to aromantism. i think maybe it's because aromantism is almost only mentioned together with asexuality not to mention that sexual and romantic attraction is so often linked together, so the logic mind were like if i feel a lack of attraction (without knowing the word) maybe that means im asexual? Because that was the only term with a lack of attraction I knew. 

     

     

    Yeah, maybe it was something like that

  9. Before I realised I was aromantic I thought I was asexual. I actually dismissed aromantic at the time because I tried to imagen what it would be like to not experience romantic attraction but I just couldn't. Turns out that's because I was trying to remove an experience from my life I had never had, hence finding it impossible to do.

     

    And why did I think I was asexual? I have no idea, it's a complete mystery to me. (Although if anyone has any ideas I would love to hear them)
