Hello! I also figured out I'm aromantic around the age of 14 or 15. I called myself ace when I was 10 because I didn't like anyone, though I didn't know about the aro label. It's stuck with me since and I haven't had to change it. I thought I had a crush around 13-14 and called it that mistakenly but it was some sort of platonic attraction after all. I first looked into microlabels like aegoromantic, greyromantic, biromantic, lithromantic etc. before I realized I'm just aro. I have faked one crush in the past to 'fit' in which I guess is kind of common? I've only come out to my closest friend, and I didn't really initiate it. She told me she likes guys and asked about me. I said I don't like anyone and told her I'm aroace. I don't plan on coming out to my mom before I'm 18, and that's only about a year away. I'm most likely not telling my dad or my sibling or other family members. Come out when and if you want to, no pressure or rush!

I was thinking about a guy I 'liked' and thought "hey but I don't actually want to kiss or date this person..." "...wait, what was that one label again?"

I'd rather not kiss anyone. Not even a small peck on the cheek or hand

Don't fall in love - Danko jones Never been in love - Will Jay Kalmia kid - chloe moriondo

I'd think it's the "you're too young" argument that's used sometimes when a younger person comes out as aro

One time I dreamed of getting a very specific grade from a test. Later that day I checked it, and boom. I actually got the grade in my dream from the test. Maybe it was a strong gut feeling, idk

I've only come out to my closest friend, but I believe it still counts She used to tease me about me liking certain boys at our school and even shipping me with them. When I came out, it stopped right away. I told her that I don't like it, and she listened to me, which was nice. So, for me it was definitely for the better.
