Coyote Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 @fae Darn, I missed out on this by just a few days, or else I could have included it as an option in the Romantic Ambivalence Poll. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neir Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 This is a very relateable term, to be honest! It hits points that are subtly different from similar terms like quoi/WTF-ro. There are days I feel like this too, as part of being aroflux. Most of the time I can pinpoint where I am on the aro spectrum, but occasionally I'll just feel like this, where I won't know if I'm even aro in the first place but also won't feel I need to commit to figuring it out. Just a big shrug. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a big shrug. That's fascinating! My romantic orientation is one of the only things I'm not fluid about, tbh, but I often find it difficult to pinpoint. I'm definitely in the quoi-/WTF-ro general area, but there's also a whole mess of feelings about wanting some kind of romance but not actually caring enough about it to seek it out, and eventually the whole thing just collapses into a big shrug for me. An "if it happens, it happens, but I really don't care" mentality. But I love that it's relevant to your experience as well.

Oh, too bad! I just took the survey and wrote it in, though! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
