My ex(from when I thought I was alloromo) told me that she still loved me and that the reason she broke up with her recent girlfriend was in order to be with me but because around the same time I had just figured out I was aro and came out to her, she had kept quiet about it until now and currently I kinda wanna punch a brick wall because my aro ass is taken by my lovely qpp and is not ready for this romance bs.

@Costati She originally broke up with her girlfriend but only told me about the breaking up part. I told her I was aro like maybe the next day or so. @arokaladin I honestly don't know if I should say this sucks or damn her because I was trying to move on in life while she was trying to rekindle something

Teaching friends about each of the new pride flag bitmojis is probably on of the most interesting and validating experiences I've had (I was surprised about how much I knew). Anyway I'm our school's ultimate queer and the encyclopedia of queer knowledge.

What kinds of physical touch do you like/dislike? (Poll)
yenyyoo replied to Quinoa's topic in Aromantic Discussion
I'm a really touchy person. In general it feels a lot easier for me to express myself through hugs or pats on the back, high fives, casual hand holding, even kissing if it's very clear that the situation is casual. The amount of how touchy I am with someone depends on how close I am to them. For example, if it's a friend I only speak to in class, the most I would to is a gentle pat on their shoulders(comforting them after a failed test) but if it's a close friend I would hug them without thinking at any point. Some people are more huggable (?) than others but idk if anyone would understand. I usually do ask for consent in some way. For example, I would explicitly ask if they want a hug or I wait for them to open up their arms as an okay sign. I also feel sensual attraction. Like, I would feel the sudden urge to squeeze someone's face or hug them intensely. But all of this goes away the minute I get the sense that the situation might be romantic. Recently I was asked to a concert with this guy friend and I only thought it was a casual outing(he said the kid who was supposed to go with him bailed and I felt bad because it was his birthday). Long story short, I realized that it was a date waaaaayyyy after and I freaked out. I tried to put as much distance in between me and him as possible and I would step back whenever he tried to come close. We were on pretty okay levels of friendship at the time(I thought). He did like me at one point but he went through this big trouble of saying that he wasn't anymore (he sits on a throne of lies). The touch level was casual but only because I was sure we were just friends. Anyways the overall point is I'm comfortable with any level of physical contact as long as its platonic but the minute I sense it might be in a romantic context I am immediately repulsed. -
I thought someone was asking me out on a date and was basically on the brink of having a meltdown but it turns out it was just as strictly platonic friends and the amount of relief I feel is like heroin.

@techno-trashcan Thanks for the advice, it just seemed like everyone was just going with someone and I did feel a kind of pressure :/. I really am just going for the dessert table which was said to be legendary.

How can you prevent people from asking you on dates?
yenyyoo replied to Aurae's topic in Aromantic Relationships
@Aurae Creepy guys are awful and they are even worse when you are aromantic -

So whenever someone asks me it usually is different between whether the person is a "safe" person or not (because I am really nice to everyone I get a lot of unnecessary adoration from a lot of my school's delinquents). If it's a regular person I just say I am not interested while if it's a delinquent I am just sort of leave them hanging and run away (bc most of the time they are men that are known for being violent if things don't go their way) while my other tougher friends go up to them and threaten them to stay away. Not ideal but if often times I don't feel safe just saying I'm uninterested or I have a bf(they just keep asking who the guy is). -
Only fellow aros will understand the amount of TURNT I am when I listen to aromantic anthem Oh No by Marina and the Diamonds

Was sad after listening to a love song because I probably won't feel romantic feelings for anyone in my life but then I realized that it was just the internalized amatonormativity talking and went into the kitchen for some ice cream. I'm okay now

@Eklinaar I stand corrected

Same here! Apparently when you are in love, you are suddenly blinded from the most obvious solution that is in front of them.

What You Thought You Were Before You Identified as Arospec
yenyyoo replied to DannyFenton123's topic in Aromantic Discussion
My overall process of labelling my romantic orientation was straight => bi => pan => queer => aro At first I was used to the default then I realized I felt the same towards both girls and boys with no concept of nb so I used bi. Once I had heard about pan being attracted to everyone regardless of gender, I used that label because it I felt the same for everyone. Up until that point I was sure I was a romantic person. I liked seeing healthy versions of it in the media and I liked the idea of having a bff for life. I didn't realize people felt romance separately from platonic attraction and the feeling was distinct. After I had a serious life crisis and thought there was something wrong with me because I didn't feel love like "I was supposed to". That was when I called myself queer because at that point it was so confusing. I knew about aromanticism before but I didn't think that applied to me until I finally came to term that I was not able to feel romance. Everything is so much clearer.
