Did a little doodle of 03 Leo for Arospec Fanworks Week! Image ID: Colored traditional art on white paper. A drawing of Leonardo from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles smiling and sticking his tongue out. His usual blue mask is replaced with one with dark blue, cyan, white, lime green, and dark green stripes, depicting the non-SAM aro flag. Next to him are two hearts with the demiromantic (a white flag with a thin green stripe through the center, and a black triangle on the left side) and non-SAM aro flags inside respectively. End ID.

So this helped me figure out that I'm on the aromantic spectrum. Sharing for arospec week. Hope it helps someone else.

here’s what it says if the link doesn’t work:

How do you know if you are a romantic?

Figuring out whether you’re aromantic is very difficult, far more so than whether you’re asexual. The longer you’ve lived, the easier it is to be sure that you’re not just a “late bloomer”, but it’s still fundamentally difficult to figure out whether you lack something that you yourself don’t understand.

So I guess a good first rule of thumb is: If you’re not sure if you’re aromantic, you probably are.

Romance and falling in love are so fundamental for most people, that if you haven’t had the experience by the time you’re of an age to be questioning, you’re probably on the aromantic spectrum.

To be more complete, there was a great list of questions made by Anagnori that really helped me when I was questioning. The idea behind these questions (or statement, really) is that you don’t need to check every box (some are actually contradictory), but the more points that you identify with, the more likely it is that you’re aromantic.

I’ll present some (but not all) of the questions here, and added a couple of my own.

The idea of being “aromantic” makes you feel relieved, happy, or more free to be yourself.

You have trouble telling the difference between romantic and friendly feelings.

Finding the concept of a “squish” (a non-romantic crush) made things make way more sense for you.

You’ve never had a crush on someone, or fallen in love.

You’re not sure if you’ve ever had a crush on someone, or fallen in love.

You have trouble telling telling the difference between a crush and a squish, or between romantic attraction and aesthetic/sexual/sensual attraction.

You have doubted whether crushes and romantic love are real, or if they’re just social constructs.

You find romance in media boring, annoying, or upsetting, even if it’s written well.

You once thought having a crush on someone meant that you admired them or really wanted to be their friend.

You thought crushes were something you consciously decided to have.

You forgot which acquaintance or celebrity you were supposed to have a crush on.

A “friends with benefits” arrangement seems ideal to you (if not asexual).

Falling in love doesn’t seem exciting to you.

You don’t understand why people make such a big deal out of crushes or falling in love.

You don’t understand why people do ridiculous, irrational, or over-the-top things in the name of love.

You don’t understand why finding someone sexually/aesthetically attractive would lead you to want a committed relationship with them.

Alternatively, for 14–16, you understand it on an intellectual level, but can’t really relate to it at all.

You have never had a romantic relationship - not because you couldn’t get one, but just because you never tried.

When a romantic relationship gets serious, it makes you feel cold, distant, or uncomfortable.

Getting a romantic partner feels more like something you’re supposed to do, rather than something you’re really enthusiastic about.

If someone likable expresses interest in a romantic relationship, you’re just indifferent to it - which other people probably find odd, or accuse you of giving off “mixed messages”.

When your last romantic relationship ended, you felt more relieved than sad - even if the other person broke it off.

You’re more excited by the idea of making a new best friend than of falling in love.

You wouldn’t mind marrying your best friend and living with them, even though you’re not in love with them.

You’d rather spend Friday night at a sleepover with your friends than out on a date.

You enjoy being single more than being in a relationship.

It’s not the idea of being single forever that bothers you, so much as being alone or unwanted.

You are oblivious to other people flirting with you.

You feel uncomfortable or threatened when other people try to flirt with you.

You are sometimes perceived as flirtatious when just trying to be friendly.

You live in a large community and see or meet hundreds of people around your age every year, but none of them have ever stirred romantic feelings in you.

You recognize whether something is romantic or not by comparing it to the gestures, words, or signals your culture has taught you are romantic, rather than feeling it intuitively.

When thinking about what kind of person you’d want to date, the criteria are the same as your criteria for a best friend.

The main benefit(s) you get from a romantic relationship is platonic, sexual, and/or emotional closeness; the romantic aspect is okay, but not what you’re there for.

You have difficulty imagining romantic activities you’d enjoy, unless they’re something you would enjoy on a platonic or intellectual level, as well.

You would rather be huggy, cuddly, or emotionally close to all your friends, instead of reserving it for one person.

While single, you don’t feel like you’re missing anything in your life; having a romantic partner might be nice, but you don’t need it or seek it out.

You’ve never understood why people fantasize about having weddings, starting a family, or other “romantic” activities.

You don’t understand why every movie has to have a romance plot forced into it.

You’ve always had some excuse as to why you weren’t dating, even if you had plenty of free time.

Personally, I score 27/40 on the above list. If you only check a couple boxes, it could go either way. If you check like 10, you’re probably aromantic. If you check 20 or more, it’s very, very probable that you’re aromantic.

I hope this helps others, as I know it helped me.

I wish a very happy aromantic spectrum awareness week to everyone on the aromantic spectrum! To me aromanticism is an orientation, a life philosophy, a political stance and a big fuck you to heteronormative and amatonormative society and I think that's beautiful! So shout-out to all aros, your experiences are worth sharing and your aromanticism should be celebrated!
