I feel you. I don't mind not having a romantic/sexual relationship until someone says it's the norm and I'm missing a huge part of life.

Fuck society

@@JaneDoe-cz5oe The only ones who cares are the ones who "want to fix us"/"want us to be normal". You shouldn't ever mind what they say towards you. Also, why be boring and stick with the norm, what's so fun being "one of the crowd" when you can be "someone" instead?

The only thing we're missing out on is the heartbreak at the end of the relationship. You can have twice the amount of fun you'd have without a relationship.

Perfectly said! As someone who’s Demiromanic I’ve felt so alienated by everyone around me who dated/are dating people when I’m just want to for a connection first which can take a long time. I’ve never dated before, but I’m not even interested rn.

Yesss, gimme that qpr!

from the time i was little i’ve fantasized about that in the same way i imagine most people fantasize about romance

yessssssssss

QPR > ROMANCE

I've had it some days ago for the first time. I'm an aromantic girl (or at least I think I am) but in this dream I met a girl and fell in love with her. The last thing I remember is us cuddling while playing a videogame or watching a video, idk, I was holding my phone. She kissed me and then the alarm clock rang and I woke up. For the rest of the day I kept thinking about that girl, even though I didn't remember her face, but it felt like I really loved her. I still think of her now and then. This song really reminded me of her.

I've never had anything like that since i don't remember any of my dreams anyway

yes, I dreamt about it and am confused now

@@stellacavazzoni agreed I felt that too

Omg yes yes I had a dream like that too, that someone was showing me so much affection - physical affection in specific and we were hugging and cuddling and had our arms around each other

I needed someone to say this because I felt so alone in this experience

oh wow. you got it spot on🥲

Every time I imagine marrying, my partner has no face. I could only imagine my friends but that always felt wrong because that’s never how I felt about my friends.

That's a very good question.

@PowerNO Grief I agree that love isn't just romance, but the song talks about yearning for a romance that's not actually there. To want someone while knowing you can never love someone that way. That's the lie.

*laughs in ugly* (/lh)

@@OopisDoopis idk u but shut up ! ur not ugly and if u think you are you are wrong /gen everything i say is scientifically proven because i know what a mitochondria is

I understand that ,I have the same thing with being ace because thay say " I know your ace but"

babe please remember that you didn't destroy your friendships because you couldn't reciprocate romantic feelings. If someone did, it was the friends who left because of it.

I don't understand why people can't empathise with others and think about what they are going to do and how that can impact their relationship with that person. It's frustrating when people just say their mind without thinking of the consequences of that action. Sometimes it really hurts and lasts for a life time, but no matter what anyone goes through they shouldn't hate who they are because of some idiotic, self-centred people.

Same!!

Same

this is an aroace song lol I just felt like the title sounded better if I focused more on the aromantic part (which is the main bit admittedly but since I'm aroace they do tend to blend together in my head)

that depends entirely on the person!

Well, for me I prefer to have casual relationships, like with how you would be with your best friend. Tell me if you have any other questions, and I will try to answer them! (Also, I do not think it was that intrusive of a question.)

Just my experience but adore having really really strong bonds with my friends! It’s such a wonderful feeling, I’m aro ace and think dating is alright, love reading about it as a fictional thing, it can be fun irl too but it’s not necessary and i Think well crafted friendships matter much more to me! I’m pretty uncomfortable with sexual things so friends with benefits would be a big no for me!

@@catnippackets yes. I dont enjoy friendships and am aroace so it varies

Hi. For me it’s a bit tricky cause I don’t get the entire “sexual attraction” thing (this is called cupiosexual btw) and also have never been in a relationship. But I can tell you what I’d be most likely (90%) ok with in terms of relationships. Mainly what I’d like of one would be touch, company and domestic stuff. Like cuddles, hugs, movie nights, making dinner together, talking, doing stuff together, sharing parts of our lives with each other. Basically all the “happy married couple” stuff. I’d be open for things to take a dive into the “friends with benefits” section too, if the other person is interested in me like that. But I don’t necessarily need to have sex with my partner. It’d be a nice bonus though. What I really want is someone to share my life with. That can be living together with a friend for rent purposes (if I also get cuddles out of it), being in a relationship with someone that doesn’t want to have sex, having a friends with benefits thing or being in a relationship with someone that loves me (even though I will not be able to love them back equally). Additionally I’m not romance repulsed so things like holding hands or kissing are ok with me, though I can also go without. I don’t need them but I also don’t dislike them. Going on a date with me would need my partner to tell me beforehand that it’s a date though, cause I’m terrible at catching the clues. Without being told it’ll just be a regular dinner for me and I won’t get the significance this dinner has for my partner. TLDR: basically I want the “happy couple” stuff, but sex and romantic things (hugs and cuddles and the like excluded) are not necessary but also not disliked, though I won’t get some romance things without being told and will not be able to love my partner in the same sense that they love me. So I’m ok with about everything as long as I get the domestic sharing space and lives things and physical touch that can be entirely platonic for all that I care. I hope that that’s not been more confusing than helpful. PS: Asking questions in order to understand others is in my experience hardly ever rude if done nicely. I’ve yet to meet someone queer that would get offended for someone asking a genuine question to help understand them. Asking is often even appreciated and met with delight (especially when it comes to stuff like names and pronouns in my experience). ;)

thank you!

@@catnippackets Gasp! Wonderful chords, thank you sm!

Thank you so much!! I'm really glad you like it!!

Choosing to not have relationships is different than being aromantic, but I'm glad you're happier now.

OMG ME TOO, I thought I was the only one to feel this way

Incrível como sempre volto aqui Eu fico obcecada por alguém, fantasio e me apaixono, é incrível. Mas não passa de atração platônica

Sempre perco o interesse quando retribuem

Acho que só tenho bloqueios mesmo

É tudo tão confuso aqui dentro Eu não sei botar pra fora Sinto q a qualquer momento vou explodir de vez

ai nem lembrava desses comentários kkk
