Ghost1e Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 I’m quite new and new to being aromatic despite not really feeling genuine attraction all of my life. I’ve experienced romantic attraction at first when I meet certain people but it quickly fades away and it’s something I’ve never been able to explain. For a while I thought that perhaps I just haven’t found the right person, but Im beginning to believe that isn’t so much the case. I always wanted to be in a relationship but every time, my feeling went away within a day or so and more so as I got to know the person. I’ve never felt a genuine connection with anyone romantically, or at least what others describe as love. I love a person for who they are, but I’ve never felt the world melt away because of them. After I got out of high school, I ended up forgetting about relationships and not caring about them. Honestly Im still not totally sure if i’m aromatic as I don’t want to jump the gun, but I feel strongly that it may be the case. Perhaps I could get some feedback. Frayromantic and Aegoromantic have been extremely relatable to me in my experiences in relationships 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekaterina Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 (edited) Hello and welcome! Hope you will be able to learn what do you need to figure out your identity. I'm (kinda fictoromantic) aroace so not sure how helpful can I be about frayromantic and aegoromantic experiences, but would be glad if I could help with anything.

Fictoromance is something I can relate to as I can’t really get to know a character super well (speaking more so on video game characters as that’s my main media) and end up knowing them for just a character and having a crush on them because of it. But, I’ve struggled all my life with getting close with people romantically as it would just fade away so quickly. I’ve always thought I was just a perfectionist that needed the right person, but I imagine my life not being in long term relationships, or relationships at all, and it feels so much more natural and makes me much more happy to think about, so it really got me wondering if I am on the aromantic spectrum 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
