Hello! I'm a romance indifferent aro, but romance repulsed when it's romance that tries to involve me. But it's increased over time to where I feel like completely cutting ties with people crushing on me. I've done this a couple times. Other times, we just drift away. Though I don't get asked out a lot, the times it has happened it's been people I've begun to form friendships with. It's easier to cope with when it's someone I'm not super attached to yet, though it's sad that I miss out on getting to know new people. Now, my close friend confessed they have a crush on me. We've been communicating and are respecting each other's boundaries. They've even been accepting of me being aromantic. I don't want to push them away, and I won't. But it's hard with my strong feelings of romance repulsion. Anyone have advice/similar experiences?
