@akumalamprey: Replying to @gypseytee I appreciate the question! I hope this helps, and I'll be happy to continue! #aromantic #arospectrum #aroace #romance #educationalpurposes
Most people have been spoon-fed the Disney Princess/ Hollywood Romcom version of what a relationship should look like. People on the Aro/Ase spectrum can and do have meaningful partnerships... arguably more meaningful than "normal" pairings. It's all about communication and maintaining expectations, something every relationship should prioritize.

lol. so which feelings are labeled romantic? I seem to have trouble identifying emotions outright sometimes.

Whaaat!?!? That sounds like me! I suffered through a 24 year loveless marriage thinking something was wrong with me! I’ve been so much happier since divorced and single!

I hope this doesn't seem to personal but does that mean that you've never been in a relationship with someone else before and does that also mean you will never be in a relationship as I am not aromantic and am keen to learn🩷

I didn’t understand I was Aro until my mid-40s. I had tried dating for so long, and I would always end up feeling panicked about getting into a relationship. Putting a name to it was such a relief.

I'm aromantic bisexual, and some people have such a hard time understanding that. I'm platonically in love with so many of my friends but that's it.

Media also doesn’t have much representation of aromantics either. Maybe some day.

also much like the asexuality spectrum, while there is the kind of blanket definition, one person's definition will often differ slightly than another's, but theyre all valid

thanks for speaking up. sometimes when I've spoken online about aromanticism in general or my own experience I've been met with ridicule, abuse or disbelief. I've even had to block people I knew personally due to their comments

I've always been a little confused about this. It's a really interesting topic, and you explained really well.

that one Kobold :
... wait, am I aro? Romance never really did anything for me... I just thought it was just the 'tism or that I was otherwise broken somehow, because people would describe the whole thing in ways that... does not compute. I could go on, but I fear that I may get sidetracked.

My honest question is does that also include not wanting to be physical with someone or is that a different part for lack of a better term?
