AprilStorms Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 People seem to think they always go hand-in-hand, and I'm curious to see how common it is... Link to post Share on other sites

eched Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I went with other. I find girls very aesthetically attractive and I get along crazy well with them and like hanging out with them, but I'm not sure about dating again, and to be honest I do just fine on my own. I really just want to make a lot of girl friends that are really just friends. Maybe be like Tuxedo Mask from Sailor Moon and have my own little gang of Sailor Senshi. Laugh now, but when I'm done saving the world we'll see who's smiling! Link to post Share on other sites
DexM Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I see myself as aromantic to all but one person. I then fall under the heteromantic category. The labels that I adopted when finding AVEN were very important to me. But I did like to adapt those to suit my own personal feelings. So MonoHeteroAromantic suits me just fine ^_^ Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Asexual, and much as I wish I was aromantic, I'm not. (At least not naturally - SSRI medication brought me technically close enough to aro to live in peace without romantic attraction messing up my life any longer.) Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Probably both but I dont call myself aromantic. Link to post Share on other sites
VinnyCrow Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I am an aromantic asexual and always have been. It's true: the general impression many people have of asexuality is that "asexual" essentially means "aromantic asexual", which is ironic because most asexuals are romantic. A lot of people just don't know about romantic orientations and assume that if someone doesn't want sex, they don't want romance, either. Link to post Share on other sites

Appello Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I am asexual, have been aromantic and could be demi-skolioromantic. To be honest though, this feels all too fuzzy to me. Link to post Share on other sites

GreenRose Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Both: Aromantic Asexual. I have never heard of someone who was aromantic but sexual (But there has to be people out there who are. Probably not all that common but I could be wrong). Link to post Share on other sites

AprilStorms Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 It's true: the general impression many people have of asexuality is that "asexual" essentially means "aromantic asexual", which is ironic because most asexuals are romantic. A lot of people just don't know about romantic orientations and assume that if someone doesn't want sex, they don't want romance, either. Maybe because homosexual or any other -sexual is used to mean they are attracted to whichever sex romantically and sexually. But it doesn't work with aces! It's really annoying when I have to explain it to people whose first response is, "So, wait, you'll never fall in love?" Link to post Share on other sites
