No sex friends for me, thank you! Oh yeah, a lot of stuff with this is very vague. That's also a good comparison with the colors. The line isn't distinct but we just know.

When I was a kid/teen I always wanted "a house big enough for me and a dog." Never even thought of getting married, even when I was dating. At one point I'd sworn off love completely (until a guy asked me out, but that obviously fell through).

I understand that. For me a quick peck isn't inherently romantic, but I'd rather not do more than that. Luckily my friends understand that but other people I might be friends with in the future might not understand that and get the wrong idea (of course I don't do it unless they're chill with it).

Oh wow, I didn't realize there were so many types of tertiary attraction! I'm definitely going to look into them! Thank you so much for the list!

Do you think there's such a thing as "domestic attraction"? (I don't know if there's a better term for it) Not romantic, not platonic, but just wanting to be in their presence while doing mundane stuff. For me it's stuff like baking together, watching movies, going to the store, etc. If this already falls under another attraction please let me know, I'm fairly new to the community.

ah yeah, that is the answer i was kinda afraid of 😅 i'm glad wanting to do "romantic things" doesn't equate to attraction. as said i have these feelings over friends and i don't want to have those feelings for them. oof, i guess i draw it at platonic? for a while i was dating but it never felt right, either we weren't close enough or i never went on romantic dates for whatever reason. okay, that kinda answers my question then. i've been agonizing a bit over whether i feel it or not and knowing allos usually know puts me at ease a bit. quoiromantic sounds kinda like a fit. i don't know if feelings are romantic, but i kinda just want all my friends to live in one neighborhood so we can all be together. i'll look more into it, i've only really seen shorter descriptions that don't go into as much detail.

forgive me for my ignorance but i'm really new to the community. what exactly makes a feeling platonic or romantic? i would like to do some typically romantic things, but only with my close friends. i don't get that butterfly feeling about the idea, more of a warm blanket feeling. i'm still trying to figure out where i fall on the aro spectrum.
