Desiderium Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Hiya, friends! So, recently I'm starting to seriously think that I'm grey-romantic?? I've never had a crush before (I've always faked them so I could fit in), I feel little to no romantic attraction to anybody, and I honestly think that flirting is kinda gross?? But at the same time, I love the idea of being in love and being in a relationship, but I've never been able to connect those feelings to a person. And the most ironic part- I adore love stories! I like reading them, writing them, but the idea of romantic love in relation to me is just...foreign?? What do you guys think? Link to post Share on other sites
wolf_of_the_pack_ Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 I actually feel kind of the same way! The idea of being in a relationship sounds nice, but yeah, flirting and dating sound awful. And yes, love stories are always fun to read and write. I can't say that I am a grey-romantic because I have had actual crushes. But I don't really think you are grey-romantic, because what than means is that you infrequently experience romantic attraction, and it seems like you don't ever have romantic attraction, which is aromantic. I think you might be wanting a more platonic relationship, which is a very intimate and affectionate relationship, but has no sex or romantic stuff. But yeah, maybe look into aromanticism, because that might help lead to what you want to identify as💜 Link to post Share on other sites
Rynn Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Have you considered cupioromantic? Or you might just not have developed those feelings towards anyone yet. But obviously I can't know what's going on in your head, so it's ultimately up to you what to identify as. I hope you find your answer Link to post Share on other sites
DarkStormyKnight Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Hi! I'm gray-romantic as well! Sounds like you could be similar, or definitely aro-spec to some degree. Plenty of aros enjoy love stories or want to be in a relationship, and the fact that you said you experience "little to no" romantic attraction strikes me as rather gray. But I don't know! Really only you can choose what you want to identify as. Link to post Share on other sites
