How do I talk to those I care about?

AcePlace1776 February 7th, 2017

Almost everyone knows I'm asexual, but only one person knows I'm aromantic. There's someone I've really grown to love platonically, but it seems he wants something romantically. I really hate being the bearer of bad news for people so I don't know how to tell him a romantic connection is not what I want -- or that physical contact makes me uncomfortable, which has been happening a lot. This has happened before-- a good friend tried to be something romantically and our great relationship just went down the toilet. Thoughts? Advice?

I'm not good at such things, but have you checked out the LGBTQ+ Subcommunity here? There's an Ace Forum where I've also seen aro mentioned.
