So, I've also thought about this a bit because it seems like I have a different definition of what a crush is than some other aromantics. I notice a lot of people here talk about crushes as something romantic in nature, but personally I've never seen a crush as having any romantic desire at all. I've always just viewed a "crush" as ...someone you found attractive consistently Like if there was an actor/actress I thought was hot, I might watch more things with them in it, or interviews because I find them.. nice to look at? but I still wouldn't have any desire to like.. actually date them And talking about this with a friend who is alloromantic, he also confirmed it's the same with him, that most crushes he's had have not been a romantic thing. As far as aro relationships go I can't really help since I've also never been in one.

First off, being grey-aro/aroflux is totally a valid thing. Having had a crush before doesn't mean you can't be aro even if it was an intense one. Secondly, and tbh this might just be semantics and not that relevant but it feels like like I should mention it: It wasn't actually until I got on this forum (a whole.. week or so ago) that I realized some people view "crushes" as romantic. I've considered myself as having crushes on a lot of people (granted not any irl since I was young) because I always saw a "crush" as finding someone attractive consistently? Like I have never been around someone I had a crush on and been like "hmm I'd like to date them" except maybe when I Was younger and didn't realize that wasn't the same thing. it was more "hmm they are attractive and I like looking at them/find them hot/sexually attractive". And talking to one of my alloromantic friends, he also agreed that most of his crushes are not romantic in nature. Also, funny enough, I was really Not into romance media/love stories when I was young, but as I've gotten older I've found I also actually do really enjoy them. Like give me a good epic romance story any day of the week. I just know that I just enjoy the fantasy of it, it's not something I would want personally for myself irl. (also I've found one of the things I really like stories in gen is characters who become like, super close, go full Ride or Die for each other. soulmates? in a way. And it just so happens that romance/shipping stuff is typically where you find that. but I am just as into, if not more, into that trope when it's platonic you just don't see it as much)

oooh fun! I love uquizzes 1. Aromantic coded villain! "Queer-coded villain pride is about reclaiming the idea that queer people are inherently evil and bad people by embracing the idea of being a villain. Aromantic villains are amazing, I love you guys!" 2. Non-human This is for the aliens, the robots, the fictional races who just CAN'T feel love because they're so EXOTIC and STRANGE! (obviously it depends on the character i'm just saying it'd be nicer to get actual humans) 3. Cups Keywords : emotions, subconscious, creativity, intuition, relations, imagination. You are really focused on your feelings, and on whether you would love to be in a relationship or not. To you, being aro is a way to see your relationships in a way society isn't used to. And it's cool ! You don't have to be put in a box ! 4. AroAllo You're sunny, bright, strong, and confident. You have a lot of pride in your identity and aren't afraid to speak about it (Your "correct" answer from the song question: https://open.spotify.com/track/5cYEuFqzITZlZzpoR1sHvu?si=a27bb1a630964727)

1. Always knew I liked guys, questioned if I was bi for most of my life. Only thing that kept me from saying I was bi was the fact that I didn't find the idea of being in a romantic relationship with women appealing. Despite learning about aromanticism sometime around 20, I didn't think to question if I was romantically attracted to guys until I was 26. Realized it felt the same as my feelings toward being in a romantic relationship with women. 2. Yeah, If I hadn't realized I was aromantic I probably would still be questioning if I was Bi. It was like everything clicked into place when I realized it. 3. Not sure. I don't feel like being bi and aro are particularly related for me, but it's important to me / my identity that I'm recognized as both bisexual and aromantic.

I am! I used to play a lot more regularly, but have gotten busy so I've been playing on and off for the last couple of years (ngl I have been out of the loop with a lot of the Ancient Breeds, oops)
