Mikasa Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Hi! 24 year old girl from Holland here. Still haven't completely figured out my romantic orientation, but I'm definitely somewhere on the aro spectrum. I occassionally enjoy romance in fiction (I like to read fanfic), but in real life... Not so much. I've had like 3 or 4 crushes in my life, but those were all on people I just admired from afar... I guess I kind of like the idea of romance, but when someone actually shows romantic interest in me I just freak out. I might have some lithromantic tendencies. For a long time I thought I was just shy and awkward and I should try harder, give people a chance. I've tried some dating sites/apps, but that was pretty useless. Sure, I've met some nice people, but I just didn't care at all about really getting to know them and dating them. The few dates I went on felt more like just friends hanging out (plus them flirting with me and then me being weirded out). So I completely gave up on that and now I'm trying to fully embrace the single aro life. (Although a qpp might be nice, who knows.) Some other stuff about me: I'm an ISFP. I love to travel, watch TV shows (I'm a massive Supernatural fan), go to concerts, read... I just finished grad school, but unfortunately I didn't enjoy it at all. My internship was terrible and I no longer have any desire to work in that field... So I'm gonna do something totally different with my life and start with a yearlong make-up artistry course later this year. Really excited about it. By the way, I love that we have ice cream here instead of cake. Ice cream is obviously superior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
