Lume Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Having alarm bells ringing in the head upon hearing/reading the word "love", even if it's not meant *like that*. #littlearothings Fighting the urge to insist that not everybody wants to love/wants to be loved upon reading about the Orlando massacre, and concluding that it is not necessarily about romantic love thy're talking about. (I feel really bad about that one, tbh.) #littlearothings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought one recently that said "property of nobody" it's probably a feminist shirt but it means a lot more to me When I was 16 (and unaware of being aro, though I was well aware of never getting crushes (just thought I was a late bloomer)) I had a shirt that said "friends are forever, boys are whatever" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassiopeia Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Trying to talk about aro issues with alloromantic people, accidentally using the lingo and watch them going from confusion to silently questioning my sanity. #littlearothings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morallygayro Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 When you're not sure if the one crush you had was a real crush or if you were just fixated on her bc of bpd and you've actually never had a crush #littlearothings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zema Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 When someone asks if you like [specific person], and you say yes, but then they think you like them in the romantic sense, and no matter how hard you try they will never believe you that you just want to be friends with [specific person]. *sigh* #littlearothings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyFenton123 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 When you realise writing smileys over text is... a form of flirting? You can't tell me what to use my smileys for, goddammit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DannyFenton123 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Yeah. When I showed my sister the texts of some creepy guy, she said that I shouldn't use emojis because that's a form of flirting over text Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-TheTimelordsCompanion Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Flinching at the sound of kissing, but trying to seem like you aren't #littleAroThings Wondering if, if it were legal, you actually would marry yourself just to shut everyone up #littleAroThings Romance scenes being the nightmares of aro actors.

UncommonNonsense Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Always being armed with a smartphone or tablet in case the inevitable romance/sex scene happens in a show you're watching on TV with your family. When you're alone, the only channels you watch are the ones made for preschoolers, because there's almost no romance, and certainly no sex, in little kid cartoons! Plus, they're easy to fall asleep to. YouTube has basically replaced cable TV in your life. Skippable ads! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vega Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 ^ Smartphone, combined with vicarious eye-rolling at all the cheesy romantic dialogue. Having friends or parents get annoyed at you because you can't get through a romance scene without at least one sarcastic comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncommonNonsense Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 When one of your friends gets that silly, dreamy, 'a million miles away' swooning expression and says something like "Oh! It's soooo romaaaaaaaantic!" in response to a scene on a tv show that you just found creepy or stalker-ish and you can't help but think that your friend is certifiable.

Dodgypotato Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 When your friend gets a boyfriend, and you're the only one who thinks the texts he's sending are creepy. If I hear another "awwwwwww"/scream followed by "So cuuuute!" I may have to break a few phones.

Most of the things that are 'like in movies' are automatically cute to them just because they like to compare themselves to movie characters, you see..
