You might be aro if...

[arotrash]

YMBAI you went into every romantic relationship looking for a way out

[DannyFenton123]

YMBAI you found kiss scenes in the middle of action completely stupid. Like, why are you kissing right now when zombies are about to kill you?

[Spud]

YMBAI you are on this website and reading all (or some) of these things and nodding your head or smiling because you relate.

[Blue Phoenix Ace]

YMBAI you find silly reasons not to date someone that wouldn't be important in a long term relationship. Things like "her hair is too long" or "he doesn't watch the Walking Dead".

That, and finding supposedly "romantic" scenes hilarious. 

[PerformativeSurprise]

YMBAI you get upset when a book, movie, or tv show ruins a perfectly good friendship by turning it romantic unnecessarily.

 

YMBAI you can't flirt to save your life.

[owl]

YMBAI you don't see how someone's love life can be an entire plot line in a film/TV show/etc

[Cassiopeia]

YMBAI you watch your allo friend interact with their romantic partner and the whole thing seems so strange, so unnecessary, you just don't get it.

[DannyFenton123]

YMBAI people constantly tell you you're flirting and you're like, 'What? That was flirting?'

[androidingly]

YMBAI you assign yourself crushes because everyone else seems to have them.

YMBAI when you start dating your best friend and your relationship is indistinguishable from how it was before.

I don't even know how to recognise other people flirting let alone how to do it myself.

[46odnetnin]

YMBAI you like to point at things

[Me_g]

YMBAI you've been in relationships and thought you were in love but then look back and realize you just thought that person was like cool and funny and that's not actually love according to allo-ros.

[Lume]

Hum, You might be aro if.../I consider myself aro because...

I never imagined myself as involved in a romance in my daydreaming.

I did not want to engage in romance/never initiated romance.

Did not think of my feelings towards another person as "romantic".

Consequently, did not want to be in a romantic relationship but in a very close friendship.

Felt overwhelmed in a relationship.

Developped borderline-ish behaviour regarding closeness and repulsion.

Developped a depression after starting a romantic relationship.

Felt like living the wrong life somehow.

Feeling relieved after breaking up.

Being serene around couples despite being single, because I feel whole and content and live the life I want.

i remember there was a scene in pirates of the caribbean & elizabeth & will were getting married while fighting pirates???

[owl]

YMBAI you just wanted to talk to and spend time with your "crush" but not do anything romantic with them (basically you thought you had a crush on someone but it's probably closer to a squish)

Oh, I remember that one. It was ridiculous

[Tal Shi'ar]

YMBAI you're watching a movie with your mum, and she fast forwards a battle scene but doesn't fast forward the romance/sex scene, and you're wondering why she thought the battle scene would look even cooler in fast motion.

it was kind of cute but it was unnecessary as fuck

[Namakemono]

YMBAI you can't help being annoyed at people who talk about relationships--even when those people are good friends with good intentions.

[AroArtisan]

YMBAI you watch that Match.com commercial (i see it on Hulu) where the guy says to the random lady on the street, (paraphrased),   "What if I were to offer you a dating service that has people on it that exactly fits your dating criteria?"

And.....you can't even process that.  Wat??  Where do i even start?  How do you even?

[Blue Phoenix Ace]

YMBAI you think they ruined the second season of Daredevil with romance. (I don't think I can even finish it, it's a huge letdown from season 1)

[PerformativeSurprise]

YMBAI your friend(s) comment excitedly (and a bit jealously, it seems) on how you could end up getting a boyfriend while you're abroad, and you don't realize you've made a face until they say with a surprised look, "you don't want to?!"

[46odnetnin]

YMBAI when youre friend kisses their S/O you think "really? :T"

[aihpen]

YMBAI you are annoyed that straight people of the opposite sex don't want to accept being "just" friends.
