I'm 12, almost 13, and I am trying to find other people my age who are on the aro spectrum to talk to on this forum about being a young aro

YMBAI

You don't realise that someone has a crush on you becuase you don't know what having a crush is like

Yes that's actually a great idea. Where and how do we get that much free garlic bread tho?

One of the ways I worked out I was aroace was memes. I kinda thought 'oh, I might be aroace' and I love memes, and most of them felt like they were taken straight from my brain. Anyone got any good ones? 

I know loads of people have said this already, but Jaiden Animations

I saw her video, and about 2 years later realised I was ace and I watch it like every two days to remind myself that I am not the only aroace person haha 

So many times I see 'oh the aros and aces are going to invade Denmark fwtlwentflewntetngo' 

WHEN IS IT HAPPENING 

and are we fighting with garlic bread 

and will our flag have cake, frogs and axolotls

I say that I’m immune to romance. I’ve had the vaccine. Not going to happen to me.

i do rock climbing (well actually bouldering) and swimming, both of which are two of the most innaccesible sports, I have to go to swimming pools and climbing gyms

I might get a laptop in a month or so! I am a massive minecraft nerd so I would LOVE to join an aspec/allies server (literally internally screaming with excitement right now)  (also my gamertag is PixelSE46 on bedrock edition so will try to use that on Java, reply if anyone wants to be friends on bedrock?) I don't have any aro/ace friends 

Hey! Welcome! I learnt I was aroace a while ago, but only joined this forum recently!

Thanks, that really helped me 

In PSHE, when learning about sexual orientation, our teacher identified aromantic and asexual wrong, and grouped them together, and didn't say there was a spectrum. It was just "not attracted to anyone" end of story and I was fuming and trying to hint that I was aro but nobody realised

Always thought I liked people, but when I thought about it, I didn't want to be in a romantic relationship with them, I want to have a sleepover and watch all the Harrry Potter movies

I'm not out so I tend to wear bracelts that I make with purple and green becuase I'm aroace and then if anyone asks what it is I say football team/school etc but if they specifically ask about aroace then I tell them

I have a mood ring that doesn't really work so that's my black ring, but I don't have a white one unfortunately

I tend to just read ships between charecters I'm interested in, I don't actually ship them but it makes for good reading. Actually being in a relationship or being shipped? Prepare the quick exit trapdoor/hole in the ground

I'm trying to initiate a conversation with my younger sister by subtely showing her youtube videos etc with aroace topics or mentions, so that if she asks, I can tell her. Thanks for the advice!

It's incredibly disconcerting when you get the same "symptoms" as a crush but with someone you just want to be best friends with. It's terrifying!

I would always complain about it when a book/movie became romance focused

Oh thank goodness, another person in the smae age group as me. I always felt really alone (am I too young to know my orientation?)

I am almost 14 and I discovered the terms Aromantic and Asexual around 2 years ago. A few months ago I began to realise that they applied to me. I am out to one random person, who was shipping me with someone as a joke, so I told them about my orientation to make them stop. However, I have never talked to other aros/aces before. When I realised I was aromanitic, it was becuase people were talking about celebrity crushes, and they asked me about mine. I said none, and they looked at me strangely. I didn't know anyone my age could even get crushes, but then I find it hard to think of anyone ever crushing on anyone. 

Questions for aros/aces if anyone wants to answer

1. How did you find out you were aro/ace (spectrum)

2. How did you come out to parents/family if you have

Thanks
