BelleJinx Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 I wasn't really sure where to put this so I put it here. Long story short, I identify as a sexual but I'm in love with someone who refers to himself as a Demi aromantic, even possibly an ace. I understand having sexual issues, as I have a few of my own, but I have absolutely no idea how it works with an aromantic. What do I do or say? What do I not do or say? This guy is amazing and I want him to know that I think so. Link to post Share on other sites
physace Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 The best way of being on the receiving end of an aromantic person's affection is to be their friend, as far as I'm concerned. A word of caution: if you're actually in love with the guy, be prepared for some sort of ugly mess at some point. It's a type of situation that, if handled with care, can reach a nice equilibrium, where you're both happy with being friends, but getting there is tricky. Best of luck!

BelleJinx Posted December 20, 2014 Author Share Posted December 20, 2014 I've already told him how I feel and he says he likes me too but thinks the way he is would hurt me or get in the way. I totally see what he means but I don't feel that it would. His best friend (also an aromantic ace) advised me not to give up on him but to give him time. I'm fine with that but I also don't wNt to say or do the wrong thing. He doesn't like touching or romantic, mushy things, not a fan of sex. Fine. All th That posted before I could. My point was that I've never believed there was only one form of romance. No one size fits all. And sex terrifies me so it's not like is miss out a whole lot in that dept.
