DreamSeeker Posted November 15 Posted November 15 (edited) The other day someone was like “you’re aromantic right?” And I was like yeah. They were like so you’re not interested in romantic relationships? And I was like no well some aros are. You can be aro and be in a romantic relationship. He said “but my definition of aromantic is not romantic. I don’t understand why you use that label. I’m single and I don’t call myself that.” I keep finding myself in positions like that where I have literally no idea how to explain aromanticism lol. It’s a struggle.

catparent7092 Posted November 15 Posted November 15 Well, he asked you specifically. Did you mean to say you are of the spec that does feel romantic attraction? I'm simply aromantic so I just say I don't feel romance. I can see what someone feeling romance looks like, maybe understand it a bit from an outside perspective, but I will never feel it. 1 Quote

I guess because he seemed genuinely confused. He wasn’t acting like a jerk (or at least not trying to) or anything. Edited November 16 by DreamSeeker Quote
