i just realized in two weeks it will be the first anniversary of me knowing i am aro. god it was such a good feeling( i haven't felt even close to that in a really long time)
i have been going with unlabeled for a few years now, about a year ago a friend asked if there is any label i feel even closed to, i remember that i didn't know exactly what aro or ace was, but i knew a few things about asexuality so i said: i dunno maybe i am asexual.
after this conversation i went and did more researching(i had done a ton of research before setting on unlabeled). like every normal person i started taking tests on google. i took one for asexuality too, and it said "you are probably demisexual". through my search for demisexuality i came across demiromantic and aromantic.
and god the joy of seeing other people sharing your experience is just amazing.
so i first went with demiro but then i realized "man i feel literally zero romantic attraction" so from there i officially put the label aromantic on me. the very first label that actually made me feel good, loved and understood.
after a year i still dunno how does my asexuality work but i know i don't sexual attraction like other people so i am still figuring out.
and that is the greatest love story of the year 1402 Solar Hijri calendar.
what is your story and how long ago did you figure out this part of your identity??
