Confusion
So just for some backstory, I've only ever had one relationship in my life and that was over 6+ years ago in high school. During that relationship however, whenever he kissed me I felt nothing and didn't understand why he was putting his lips on mine. It felt unnecessary to me. Throughout the years I've been single and content, but recently I went on a date for the first time in awhile and after we ate the guy kissed me and I felt nothing again, the unnecessary feeling coming back again. Ever since that date I've been questioning whether or not I'm on the aromantic spectrum because though I like the general idea of romance and people being in love, every time it happens to me I want the person off of me. I basically feel like a walking contradiction because I know I want someone in my life. Is there anyone who can give me some insight on this? I know that it's up to me to identify myself but at this point it's tearing my mind apart and I'm in need of an outside perspective.
Hello @acepionage
It sounds like you might be somewhere on the ace spectrum. Where exactly you fall on it I can't say, only you can. This sub-community has a plethora of resources regarding asexuality and aromanticism. You can find them here. Remember, you have your whole life to figure this out, so don't rush! There is nothing wrong with trying out new labels and then ditching them for one that suits you better. You don't even have to use labels if you don't want to! I know what it is like to feel confused about labels. I often felt like my head was going to explode from all the confusion haha. I hope you are able to find peace soon <3
@acepionage So of course I can't say for certain, but the feeling I get from this is Lithromantic or maybe Bellusromantic,but of course I have no clue. This does sound Arospec though.
