okay so i know i'm asexual. and i'm pretty sure i'm aro. but there's this friend i had and whenever i was around them id get butterflies and id want to hold their hand. apparently this is a sign of romantic attraction, but isnt necessarily. anyway i was completely repulsed to the idea of dating them (mostly) and anything romantic repulses me A LOT. like kissing, cuddling, touching- all of that repulses me. and i can't figure out the difference between romantic and platonic attraction. i think im quoiromantic?? idk- i feel broken like i'm missing out on romantic attraction, and society puts so much emphasis on sex. kids are already talking about dating and stuff, and for me it's all something i can't relate to. and i think i've experienced alterous attraction, platonic attraction, and aesthetic attraction. sensual attraction seems to also blur lines with romantic attraction for me. it all makes no sense- someone help. i feel like i might want a queerplatonic relationship at some point in my life but im not ready for that yet. yeah someone help i'm identity crisising all over the place one sentence to describe my current orientation: "why have a gf/bf/enbyfriend when you can have garlic bread"

I consider myself to be asexual and I have to wonder whether I'm just naturally that way or if purity culture killed my ability to be attracted. I remember my younger sister being called "a hoe" by our mom for having a crush on a boy and wearing lip gloss when she was 12. I was a ratty nerd at 12 so she wasn't worried about me. I was only curious about boys and used to think that having a relationship one day would be nice in the future but I would later deny any crushes and suppress them because I thought it made me "less pure". When my older cousin asked if I had any boyfriends, I was ready to ask her for dating advice. Instead, my mother butted in with "She isn't interested in boys". She would always talk to me about how wonderful the convent is and how much God would bless me if I consecrated my virginity to Him. Once she made me spend a weekend with the nuns but the priest at school told me he doesn't think I'm emotionally stable for the religious life. I haven't had many crushes since age 14. I decided then to never marry because I thought it's impure but after everyone was all "but what if God wants you to marry!" So I decided to date this guy from church who was a jerk and didn't believe I was asexual. He said it's too rare. He wanted lots of kids so it wouldn't have worked out. I would've died of shame on our wedding night.

Hey guys! You can call me Orion or Rye. I am afluix (afluidflux) and cassgenderfluid. Now, a bit of an explanation: Afluix means that my sexuality is very broad, spanning across the ace, aro and allo spectrum. This means I can be an oriented aroace, then an m-spec gay, then a aro pansexual, then a homoromantic ace, and the list goes on. Yes it is technically abrosexuality but I hate the label. Cassgenderfluid is a combination of cassgender (not caring about your gender), genderflux (how much I care about it changes, I didn't include flux in the label for various reasons), and genderfluid (the gender changes, though it tends to stay in the non-binary umbrella) Anyway thanks for reading! Have a nice day!

Hello i am a very confused person right now as i have started thinking a little more than i usually do…I don’t know what my sexuality is. Part of me really wants to date someone but the other part of me feels uncomfortable with that. Part of me says i can date any gender the other part says i’m straight. I say that i’d date anyone but do i mean that? i honestly want to be bi or something but then i feel like i can never actually date anyone because the thought of it makes me uncomfortable and it feels wrong, but i really want to be able to date someone. i feel broken and i don’t know what to do. i know i don’t have to find a set answer right now, but i want to try and get somewhere with it. :(

Hello! Im pretty old member of LGBT+ community (since i was 10) and I’ve only just started wondering if i might be aromantic. I just want to maybe get some stories how someone who identifies as aromantic figured it out for themselves. For me, a sign that maybe im aromantic, is that im not really good with emotions in relationships. Thinking back, after awhile i started treating my partners more as best friends than someone im supposed to be romantic with. I could see them being annoyed by that but i didn’t know how to change that. I still don’t. I want to feel romantic feelings but the closest I’ve came to of that type is what i create in my head. I love the person i create in my mind even if i know they’re not like that in real life. I love some traits of the person who im maybe seeing in somewhat flirty way but the other traits just ruin it for me. I’m pretty flirty with a lot of friends but when they express any type of serious romantic attraction i get scared. I don’t know where it comes from. If there’s any aromantic people here, could i get some kind of a little `how did you find out you’re aromantic`
