Aromantic to Romantic?

Hey!

Hope you're all well..

 

I have a fairly straight forward question to ask.. is it possible for an Aromantic person to "become" Romantic?

I ask because i have a friend who identified as both Ace and Aro.. however recently she only identifies herself as Ace.

 

It was quite confusing but i didnt want to ask her as i felt its a bit too personal.

 

Just wanted to get your opinions on it.

 

Thanks! :D

Absolutely! 

Romanticism and Sexuality are very fluid, your friend has probably just entered a new stage of her life. And I'm sure she wouldn't mind if you got confirmation as long as you did so respectfully :)

I honestly had no idea - I only learnt about Ace/Aro in the past 2 years or so and i have a lot to learn still so i apologise for my ignorance

 

I have no idea how id bring it up tbh haha

It's also possible that she wasn't really aromantic to begin with, but just never felt romantically toward anyone before this specific person.

We're very open with one another and as far as i know there isnt a specific person.. unless she just hasnt told me (which would hurt a little haha)


Still a very interesting change of events.

I think drifting from an aro to a romantic person is possible. It is just a shift in feelings after all. Since humans evolve and grow in different ways, a shift in beliefs is always on the cards.

Yep, I used to think I was aro, don't think I am now.

I have a bit of a crush on this girl which is making things awkward for me - She doesnt know that i do.

Well it took me about 7 years with my squeeze to actually figure it out, so good luck ;)

Squeeze = partner, significant other, bae, QPP, cuddle buddy

 

I'm not the best to ask tbh, my situation is rather unconventional. Maybe suggest romantic things and see whether she agrees or backs off?

Oh i see that makes sense

 

Yeah we always talk about cuddling and kissing and spending time together and often say "love you" to each other.. though she seems to have started saying that a bit more recently.

I dont really read into it that much - i could just wait and see what happens? but could miss my chances then too.. all a bit confusing haha
