I had a lot of Pokemon drawings and posters, I still do, various drawings and a little banner that said it could be worse.

I agree, I do not like how when people are babies they are immediately put into blue or pink clothing, why! I am female, but I normally wear clothes that are more masculine, currently I am wearing a bowtie.

I am ageosexual too. I agree, I also thought being sex repulsed was required.

I learned about asexual first, but I still thought something was missing, then I leaned about being aromantic through Google searches and I knew that sounded like me, yeah.

I agree! whenever the romance part unfortunately happens in a book I would, and still do read it as fast as possible to get it over with.

Is the universe alive? That would be an awsome story! I am writing it right now!

I m bad at explaining but, so a squish is like a crush, but without the romantic attraction, IDK.

I just realized what a squish is and a lot of things make sense now.

I never thought about romance or any of that stuff when I was a kid. Then in 6th grade my friend got a boyfriend and I was completely shocked, I thought people only did that in college! I also was completely oblivious to crushes, bored with romance, and I never had a crush, I just never saw myself having a romantic partner or getting married. I still think, Whaaat!? when someone tells me or mentions anything related to romance, weather it is crushes, it I have one, romantic partners, planning/wanting to get married, everything romance and sexual. It is all just crazy!

I relate to all but one of these.

I love the fire toaster idea! I have had this experience multiple times with people who have liked me, looking back it was really obvious they liked me, but I do not pay attention to romance! Politely saying you do not feel the same is normally what I do. And if that does not work, then light you hair on fire and throw toasters!

*rides a dragon* save the world!

I know nothing about romance, so take this with a grain of salt. when I have aesthetic attraction to someone, or just think they are really cool. To be sure, I will look up on Google how to know if you like someone, or something like that. Then I will think about them a lot and compare my feelings about them with other things, for example recently it was a favorite song played in public. Hope this this helps.

I agree, I have had people who I was obsessed over, but only in a platonic way.

I love this meme!

I would imagine the couple kissing and then the badass character pushing them apart and telling them they have more pressing matters. I would totally read a story with a character like that!

I have not read it yet, but To Be or Not To Be, by Ryan North has asexual characters in it.

Maybe you could try bringing up other interests your friends have, so they talk about something else?

I never paid much attention, but some were around 8, and most started in middle school.

I had the same experience.

yup.

I do not think my friends even know that being aro/ace is a thing. I go to a small catholic school, so they do not teach us about LGBTQIA+. And now a boy in my class has a crush on me and it is incredibly annoying and awkward. Everyone ships us, And I did not even know what shiping was until a couple weeks ago! I thought they were actually talking about ships that go on the water.

I do not know anyone who is on the ace spectrum too. Sometimes I forget other people are like me, and it makes you feel sort of alone.

I wonder, would it be the same with a split tongue, or would it actually help you eat ice cream?

there is a boy in my class who has a crush on me, so it is really awkward. My class does not know I am aro ace.
