He hopes that frankness and laughter will break through (totally assumed) "self-denial". Of course this is completely inappropriate and counterproductive to say to an aro (and also to an alloromantic person who struggles to find a partner). yeah you might be right about that. I've never been in a relationship and also never dated anyone seriously, I think he really is scared that I'll never find someone haha. Or maybe he just can't imagine how people can permanently be happy without beeing in a relationship...

alien Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 (edited) Not understanding why my friends..date I guess it seems cool but meh not for me And feeling (pretty much every other type of) attraction, but thinking it's romantic attraction when in reality it's probably not Edited October 1, 2022 by alien 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atypique Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Spending time with a friend. Being shipped by another friend who is supposed to know you're aromantic. There are actually plenty of cishet people that just immediately ignore the fact you're aromantic even if you've explained it to them months ago ?? That's freaking tiring. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alien Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 OoOh just remembered an aro moment!! I used to forget that having a crush is wanting to be in a romantic relationship with someone specific I would find my 'crushes' aesthetically attractive, just thinking that they are cute/ cool etc I would just watch from a safe distance admiring them So one day I kinda overheard some people talking about their crushes and they were talking about how their crushes aren't reciprocated and how they wanted to be in a romantic relationship with them And my brain just stopped for a full 5 seconds trying to process that 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gray Warlock Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 To this day people think Every Breath You Take is a love song. They play it at weddings for Christ sake! It isn't. It's a song about obsessiveness. “I think it’s a nasty little song, really rather evil. It’s about jealousy and surveillance and ownership,” Sting, 1983 I guess that tells you what love is all about? 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peanut_Butter_Sandwich Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 You're in school and one of your classmates walks up to you. Classmate: Who do you like? You: (Oh shoot I guess I need to name someone.) You: Uhhh, I like (name of someone in my class) Classmate: Oooooh I'm telling! You: crap. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whirl Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 That just reminded me of a similar experience I had in elementary school. All the other kids kept insisting that me and my best friend were a couple. And I absolutely hated that. Once, I got so fed up with the teasing that I just made up a crush right on the spot. I shouted "I don't like x, I like y!" in front of the whole classroom. Right after I realized with horror that I'd just announced I had a crush in front of everyone. Crap, crap, crap 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atypique Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 I never understood the thing with crushes/fake crushes. Like... People never asked me if I had one ?? It happened a bit in high school, but people where mature enough to understand what a no is 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AromanticAardvark Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Tbh same, the closest thing I think I've had is my whole summer camp deciding a friend and I were dating... despite the fact that he was ace, and I was pretty out about being aro lesbian. We ended up pretending we had been third cousins all along, so they couldn't ship us anymore 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crap, crap, crap hehe reminds me of an experience i had i remember going a new school and i was shipped with a boy that i didn't even want to be friends with platonically for the (one) year i was there they shipped us in a joking way and i was like "ew wtf" the whole time like they'd be like "oooooh [A User] and [classmate] are such a couple!" and i always interject like "omg what the fuck" but it was always the other boys doing that (not the girls, they were actually mediocre people) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peanut_Butter_Sandwich Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 One day my cousin talked to me about his romantic life, and the entire time I'm thinking "Why is he talking to me about it?". I don't care about it at all, which sounds harsh, but it's true. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mivoei Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 loving the friendship between two characters but then gets confused when the fandom ships the pair. i never get why they want to apply romance onto all the pretty bestfriends so bad. whats stopping you from enjoying their friendship that you have to make it romantic? they already have the dynamics and stuff. no need to change the type of relationship they have now 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I discover I was aro, it made a lot of sense why I felt this way. For all the fandom it was the begining of something new they wanted to see, for me it was the end of something I already considered "ideal". 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
