    Hobbies

    Sometimes playing video games, sometimes watching shows/anime, music (listening to it and playing instruments), sometimes working out or running...when I can somehow get the motivation for it
  2. That sounds great :D and I don't think that someone can be too excited about meeting fellow aros :D
  3. At the moment it's mostly Parkway Drive and As I lay Dying
  4. Hey there, I was wondering if there are any aromantic or asexual people from Austria, Germany or Switzerland around? I'm from Austria and would love to connect with people who are a bit closer by.
  5. That's a good question, it would be non-romantic and then, I guess sharing the day with them, going on dates, cuddling. The thought of having a special person and being a special person for someone is really nice. I can do without sex but if they want to, I wouldn't have a problem with it, same goes for kissing I guess. Also, I can imagine moving in together and really living together, caring for some pets, maybe a garden... With dates I mean spending time together (only the two of us), again, not romantically but just meaningful time spent together.
  6. When I think back now, there were a few things that could have been early signs of being aromantic - if I would have noticed them. I never really had a crush on anyone or been in love. The "crushes" I've had were just intensely liking somebody but not in a romantic way. I still like the idea of a relationship, things like cuddling or doing fun things together or even things that are normally considered romantic, or simply spending really much time with someone I really like. But all of that not romantically, just platonically. When watching shows or reading fanfictions or books I always tried searching for the non-romantic ones and found it really annoying if the story was centered around romance, since I really didn't care about it. It was always kinda sad when I found a really good story, but then it got more and more romantic. I've been in relationships before, when I didn't realize yet that I was aromantic. There were never really any feelings while doing romantic couple things and I remember wondering if I'm supposed to feel something while kissing, and things like that. Another thing that I never liked was being with a partner in public, the whole holding hands or even kissing in public thing. I always wondered if we really needed to do things like that and felt really uncomfortable and even repulsed by it. But everyone was doing it, it was normal. And apparently it was very important since the other person would get sad if I said that I didn't like those kind of things. It just was lost on me how those things could be so important so someone. And also, I tend to feel awkward or weirded out if people show their (romantic) affection for their partner in public. And another thing that just came to my mind, when I imagine myself in a few years, it's always either living alone or, if I have a family, it isn't with a partner or anything like that.
  7. One day I came across the label aromantic somewhere on the internet, probably youtube or something like that. I started watching videos and reading about aromanticism and types of attraction, even a book on aromanticism, and the more I heard and read about it, the more I had the feeling that this fits me. So many things just make sense and feel right. Even things that I never even questioned about myself before or that never crossed my mind, simply because those things are so normal to me. I guess there were some kind of signs all along, like my past relationships that never held long and were really draining to hold upright. And never understanding that type of love and being weirded out by some actions and problems others had that I simply couldn't get. Also, I always felt like there was something wrong with me for not understanding romantic relationships and for not being able to relating to people telling me about their relationships and feelings and also their relationship problems. It felt like there was a whole other world that I simply had no access to. Now I know why.
  8. Hi, I recently figured out that I'm on the aromantic spectum and I'm still trying to figure where on that spectrum I am exactly. It is all still pretty new and confusing for me but finding that out about myself explains a few things, as excample why my relationships ended how they ended and why I never really understood so many things about the romantic relationships of the people around me. I'm not sure what to put in in this introduction but I'd love to meet many amazing people on here! Have a good day
