Hey fellow ace/aros/other ace spectrum I haven’t mentioned
Hello!! I’m asexual, questioning if I’m aromantic at the moment. I get asked so much what does it mean to be asexual and get told so often “you haven’t met the right one” and it’s just so tiring oof
It is your decision. They might say it because they care for you. It is ok to be anyone you want.
Hey there
I'm 25, I've known I've been aromantic for years now. I've never had a crush on my life, and I've never had that sort of 'butterfly feeling' people get when they're in love.
I find the idea of kissing to be disgusting. I've gotten a number of 'you just haven't found the right person yet' comments.
Eventually I learned to ignore them, because I know I wouldn't be happy in a romantic relationship anyways. I've tried to date, with someone I was very close to, I could not fake the romantic love and it eventually fell apart peacefully.
Someone asked me out on a date once, I ran home and flew into a panic.
These are my personal experiences- not everyone's the same, but I hope it helps you out.
It's totally ok to not have someone to love romantically! Its also ok if you chew on these thoughts for a bit, exploring identity can take time, but remember that no one can tell you who you are but yourself.
Have fun with it to! Don't beat yourself up over not knowing yet, and also know it's ok to be aromantic! Platonic friendships are just as valuable, and it's alright if they're the most valuable to you, it's completely fine to have your close connections be platonic.
I'm wishing you luck! All the best to your journey

I've found that a nice website to talk about ace/aro things is AVEN, (asexual visibility & education network) it's pretty cool if you wanna check it out
