Blue Phoenix Ace Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I've thought quite a bit about this lately, and I believe I should instead use the label of grey-romantic instead of aromantic. There are people who have never felt a crush in their entire life. They have no desire for a romantic relationship either. They can use the label aromantic if they desire. Aromantic is "absolute zero" on the romantic scale. In contrast, I have felt a crush in my life. It was at the age of 35 and I would guess it was less intense than how alloromantic people would feel it. It didn't lead me to a desire for a long-term romantic relationship with her. My one and only experience with a romantic relationship also showed me that I really don't want it. As a leader, albeit a small one, in the aromantic community, I need to be more honest with people and be sure to choose the correct label to describe my feelings and experiences. So, I'm grey-romantic. A very dark shade of it, close to aromantic, but grey nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omitef Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I'd love to be honest with others, if only people understood that greyromantic =/= a challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
