I know Im demiromantic and sexuromantic but like. Ive been feeling like. romantically in love w my two romantic sexual partners more often than usual and it feels a bit unusual but not negative, bc I don't really feel this exact way about any other people right now. I think also my emotions tend to feel muted most of the time so it feels even more strange like. I just feel kind of giddy emotionally like out of nowhere and its nice but also a bit confusing lol

hi! a question:
i'm not sure if i might be aro?
i'm obsessed with romance, i constantly daydream about having a partner and i wish i could date somebody (i never have).
but i recently realised that i've never actually met anyone i would genuinely feel romantic feelings for. i've had crushes, but those were only based on looks and usually disappeared once i got to know the person better and realised i didn't even want to be friends with them. but i never felt attracted to any of my actual friends either.
all of the romance i feel is for imaginary lovers. i know that being fictoromantic is a thing, but i actually really want to be in love with a real person, in real life.
maybe i just haven't met the right person yet? but then again i'm almost eighteen and at this age, almost everyone has at least tried to date somebody, even if for a short time.
i'm also kind of introverted and socially awkward, so maybe that could play a role?
i'm just wondering whether this could mean that i can't feel romantically towards anyone and that i will never get the love i've always so desperately wanted. i honestly don't want to be aro. but the more i learn about aro people the more i seem to relate to some of them. i never thought i could be aro so this confuses me. i hope i'm wrong. but i wanted a second opinion. i know you don't know me but what do you think, could i be aro?
sorry for the long post. and thank you if you choose to answer. :)
this definitely sounds like a possible aro experience. you may want to look into cupioromantic, romo aro, romance favorable aromantic, and/or lovequeer aro as terms that could help you to better conceptualize your experience. you can find definitions for all of those here, at AUREA, with the exception of lovequeer.
i'd like to invite others to post their definitions of lovequeer in the reblogs/comments for this post, since I am not lovequeer and due to disability lost track of what definitions ended up being decided on. further, one of y'all should see if AUREA's terms can be updated to include lovequeer :)

I'll bite, how do you find poly people to just tag along with? And why wouldn't constantly being around people in a relationship, while not *really* being a part of it yourself, not make the whole feeling worse?
The same way you find Comic Cons, generalized interest groups, meetups, clubs, or any other queer groups. The internet.
For context: this person seems to have read my suggestion for aro people to link up with poly people because they don’t do the toxic monogamy scarcity-mindset of love thing, which results in neglecting or jettisoning friendships.
Anon, if you are put off by the idea of gaining more social bonds in this way, consider:
(1) you may not actually be wholly aromantic, but be a cupioromatic (you actively want to be in a romantic relationship, you just don’t have the same feelings about it or drive for it as an allo)
OR
(2) you may have some internalized arophobia to work out (bonds you form with people as an aromantic are conceptualized as ‘inferior’ when relationship anarchy says they’re not. This is an absorbed idea from society that makes you feel bad by affecting how you view things)
(3) you’re carrying baggage from friends dumping you for romo bonds. (this is subconsciously reminding you of those shitty experiences)
If it’s (1), the solution is to simply have a romantic (but not sexual, if you don’t want that, if not ‘favorable ace’) relationship with the polycule (or a given person within the polycule)
If it’s (2) or (3) that’s gonna take some self-reflection and some sorting through feelings to release them.
It is VERY common for aces and aros to offer open relationships to partners they obtain, so they can get those sexual or romantic desires met.
This doesn’t always happen in the context of both people being already-familiar with poly, but it IS one of the reasons poly is perfectly positioned to shore up ace loneliness.

Romance favorable culture is not knowing if you can use the mlm flag if you don’t feel romantically/sexually attracted to men, but would still like some form of relationship with them. (Does alterous attraction count?)
of course you can!

I need you guys to realize that "Favorable Aspecs tend to get ostracized from parts of the aspec community because of their favorability towards romance and sex making people claim that they are not really aspec." and "Repulsed Aspecs tend to get ostracised from parts of the aspec community because they are often conflated with being romance/sex negative and tend to get thrown under the bus when fighting against aphobic talking points" can COEXIST. one does NOT cancel out the other. both Favorable and Repulsed aspecs have their own troubles in and out of the community.
saying "nooo Favorable people can't be hurting repulsed people because it's actually repulsed people hurting favorable people" is just very black and white thinking and pretty naive. We can talk about how some Repulsed people attack favorable people and how some Favorable people attack repulsed people. like it's allowed for them both to be talked about. one existing doesn't mean the other magically doesn't exist. situations are more complex than there being one good side and one bad side. it's usually a mix of good and bad people on both sides and we need to understand that if we want any progress to be made. if we ignore one sides pain then we fix nothing.

Hey, just so you know, it's ok for your feelings to fluctuate. It's ok to be sex or romance repulsed one day and not the next. It's ok to be indifferent one day and favorable the next. It's ok it you think you're sex repulsed and then realize maybe you're sex adverse. It's ok to be romance indifferent one moment and adverse the next. It's ok. Your experiences are valid.

Seeing people only use "but some asexuals have sex!!!" and "some aromantics are in romantic relationships!!!" so they can sexualize & ship the little representation we get makes me hope someone explicitly establishes a popular character as sex-repulsed so we can see the shippers get cooked online for it

“I want to go on a date” and “I don’t want to date anyone” are two statements that can coexist

Yknow maybe I did genuinely want a romantic relationship back in the day and it's not contradictory of the fact that I've been stone cold aromantic since day one. Sometimes you want something you can't have and sometimes if you do get it it's not so great anymore. It's not that I have never wanted a romantic relationship in my entire life because at some point I very much did but there wasn't anyone I actually liked in that way
So like. When it comes to questioning whether you're aro or not the question you should ask yourself isn't "do I wanna be in a romantic relationship" but rather "is there anyone I'm actually attracted to"

(anyone who identifies themself as aromantic is allowed to answer this, regardless of sexual orientation or where exactly on the arospec you fall)

Im aroace but still really like stories about romantic and sexual relationships because I think they're really interesting from like a character standpoint. It makes me sad how sex and romance are quarantined from 'real stories'. I hate how romance and erotica are treated like lesser genres

Hi!! Sorry for this, but I have a question: is it aro-culture, wanting to be in a romantic relationship with someone and not wanting that at the same time? Because i feel conflicted. Mostly I don’t want a romantic relationship, but sometimes i feel the pull of it, and i get so sad…
i just wanted your opinion on this, hope you dont mind me asking
hi,
this is from a while ago, but there's absolutely microlabels in the aro community for this experience! i'd recommend looking into cupioromantic, bellusromantic, romo aro, and romance favorable aromantic labels.

not romance favorable not romance repulsed but a secret third thing (wants a romantic relationship but in a very specific way with a very specific person and only in theory)
