Collie Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 I very much identify as aromantic. However I am definitely in the grey area as I have one romantic attachment that has persisted for years now. I'm publicly out as gay/a lesbian, this being because I want to be a voice for good in the Christian religious community. And it's not wrong, I mean: the person I'm in love with is a woman, and I am a woman. But I also identify as "mostly aromantic". I feel like I almost have to "hide" my aromantic identity, because people outside of the aro and ace communities (and sometimes within the communities) don't understand the grey area. I don't regret being out as lesbian. Not at all. But it's sometimes a bit of whiplash having both identities at once. Sometimes I'm like "yeah man, I'm soooo aro". And then other times I'm like "yeah man I'm soooo gay", lmaooo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alien Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 (edited) Hi! I'm grayromantic (I think) I have had 2 very weak but fully romantic crushes, and 3 weird crushes(??) idk On 9/19/2022 at 3:52 AM, Collie said: Sometimes I'm like "yeah man, I'm soooo aro". And then other times I'm like "yeah man I'm soooo gay", lmaooo. me too! except I'm hetero or bi-grayromantic with a preference Also 'crushes' for me are so weird. 1. I want to date them but it fades within days or hours before I can act on it 2. I don't really have a desire to date them but I'm super nervous around them and its not purely platonic or romantic Edited September 25, 2022 by alien Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
