sarcloud Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 okay so im like really weird but i dont know how to explain it. Ive never been in a relationship, kissed or even flirted with someone before, but I am sexually attracted to people. I want to have a boyfriend but being in a relationship kinda grosses me out (lack of a better term)? I don't know how to describe it but it kind of embarrasses me? For example, if i had a boyfriend telling my parents is super weird. I guess I am uncomfortable with intimacy, but i want it. I don't think im asexual because i have sexual attraction and interest, but i am just not into relationships. IDK what that means! Please help lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NickyTannock Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 @sarcloud Welcome to AVEN! It sounds like you're an Aromantic, Meaning you're not attracted to people romantically. Incidentally, it's a tradition here to welcome new members by offering cake, 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Feynman Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Welcome to AVEN, @sarcloud! Yes, I think @MichaelTannock is right there. You could join Arocalypse, which is a forum for aromantic people—sexual and asexual alike. The Arocalypse layout is almost identical to AVEN's. You're still very much welcome here, though, whether or not you're asexual. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
letusdeleteouraccounts Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 The main attractions are split into 2: romantic & sexual. This means that you can experience sexual attraction and be aromantic (or anywhere along the spectrum). A mix of romantic and sexual attractions are pretty rare with non asexual people, but it happens Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheAP Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I agree with the others, you could be an aromantic sexual. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ôÿē èîęēú ïė ēôēįîûôø Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 @sarcloud Hi! Welcome to heAVEN! Have an infinite amount of ! You could identify as aromantic. Those identifying with "aromantic" could possibly fear commitment because of the romantic connotations. If you haven't already, you could make an account on Arocalypse.

gisiebob Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 it is also quite possible that you have described nothing weird at all. the only helpful thing I can think of is to just not get in your own way of exploring who you are. in romantic interactions you will make mistakes, and that's ok. go out and test them waters! or don't, and make peace with yourself. definitely eat some cake, though.
