Daniel Catherine Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Okay, here's the deal. I thought I was 100% Aromantic. Then I thought I was in love, so not completely Aro. But now I don't feel like I'm in love, so I'm like, "is me thinking I'm in love just societal conditioning? Or maybe it was just being closeted for so long and stripping away every bit of my lgbt identity to fit into a cis-het amatonormative box?" Could it be that? Or is part of being Aro-flux feeling like I'm in love sometimes and other times like I'm not in love? I'm so confused. Advice? Comments? Answers?

nonmerci Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 It is hard to say without context. Aroflux is a possibility indeed. It could also just be the evolution of your feelings. How frequently do you experience crushes? Are there periodswhen you will feel romantic attraction, and other periods when you don't? If you feel it, how long does it last? Maybe answering these questions can help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah sometimes I do go through times when I feel romantic attraction and times when I don't. But the other thing is that when I thought I was in love, it made me feel bad. Like... I didn't want that kind of feeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angrboda Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Perhaps you're grayromantic or demiromantic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
