Omg I had a similar experience in primary school we would play this game were someone would name two guys in your class and you have to pick which one you prefer until you go through all the guys and the guy u're left with is ur crush 🙃 turns out I'm asexual

@@ekaterinakuznetsova Lol. I’m aroace, but when I was in high school, we didn’t really have that sort of information yet, and asexuality was still listed as a mental health disorder at the time and there was no information about being aromantic that I could find, so I was just super confused because _something should have been happening by now, right?!_ I still remember girls from my class trying to figure out who I liked and if I was a lesbian or not. They went through every boy in class, and then they’d grill me to see if I liked any celebrities that they considered to be attractive. I didn’t, and they were convinced that I was lying, but at the same time, they couldn’t make sense of the fact that, by my facial expression, I was seemingly genuinely uninterested in all of them, so they came to the conclusion that I was a master at not giving it away. Then, because I felt like something was wrong, I proceeded to look at my classmates, picked the most conventionally attractive one, and thought, “…Yeah, I’ll have a crush on that guy,” and then I proceeded to do nothing with that thought and told nobody and forgot about it in less than a week because it meant nothing to me. It was just like I was ticking off a box on my list of milestones so I felt less weird and left behind. Haha.

This thread is so relatable as an aroace...I remember the turbulent emotions I went through as a 13 year old when I realized that no matter how hard I try I can't like a guy...I used to take tests on the internet to see whether I am a lesbian,bi,pan . And I concluded that I must be a bisexual because I didn't like any gender 😂😂😂

It feels like the alloromantic-aromantic spectrum is really hard to define, I don’t think I’ve had a crush after the age of 3, but I’m still kinda convinced I’m fully alloromantic. As much as I don’t want to develop a crush at any point in my life, I feel like it’s entirely possible, but the fact that I haven’t during almost all of my conscious years on the planet may be evidence for otherwise.

@@teethcoat4274 See, that's what confuses me about using the labels, especially when young. My difference, I think, is that I was always highly sexual and attracted to female bodies, but it took me until I was 19 and had a chance meeting at a chance time of my life to properly fall hard for a girl. Before then I assumed I literally could not fall in love, based on experience. No judgement btw, just hoping my experience can help a smidge

I mean, i dont think you're meant to have a million crushes in your lifespan. 2 sounds...fine? If you're sure you're aro/ace that's fine, but basing it off the number of crushes is kinda ridiculous. Crushes come and go and for some its just never a thing. Doesnt necessarily mean you have to slap on a label onto yourself just yet. I say try to focus more on the concept of romantic relationships with someone as opposed to using crushes as a basis, that'll help way more on reaching a definitve answer.

@@Direblade11 I am gonna turn 18 soon but i haven't had a proper crush yet , I cannot relate to the falling in love aspect yet .I am still attracted to female bodies tho and I want romance in my life but I am not actively searching for it Hope that will change in the coming years of my life because I want to feel how it is to fall in love too

Bro that's totally fine. I'm turning 16 in two months and I never had a crush. In that sense, I think overthinking can be the wildest problem. Aro or not, it doesn't make you less as a person

@@iputapipebombintoyourmailb6210 aromantic is a spectrum! there’s demiromantic (needing an emotional connection first) greyromantic (kinda in the middle) and many, many more. of course, there’s aesthetic attraction; just simply finding someone attractive without being actually attracted to them. but take your time, know it’s allowed to change and be fluid. you don’t even have to use labels if you don’t want to ^^ (sorry for infodump I just wanted to point these out :)

it's okay me too i relate so much ! i think sometimes as humans we are attracted to someone platonically, we want to be around them all the time and think they are amazing but it doesn't have to be in a romantic or sexual way

hmm I believe it means only feeling sexual attraction once you have developed a bond with the person, like friendship.

Uh oh…

@@FurbyCraftYT so youre like everyone but with morals?

IamHusa I feel like the biggest difference would be that you need the extra step of getting to know the person. So, it’s more likely that a demisexual will have a crush on their friend, and not typically someone they don’t know. I could be wrong though, since I’m ace and not demi. There could be other factors as well, depending on if the person alloromantic or aromantic.

I kinda suggest maybe starting small by asking what they're doing (if they're drawing, writing, or whatnot). And build a convo about it right there. Kinda worked for me.

@@pastelquartz6857 ok I'll try

Ok, hear me out If u go talk to them directly u may feel nervous so I recommend taking to their friends first getting some info about them and then taking to them, works for me

Asking questions is always the easiest way to get to know someone, everyone likes to talk about themselves. So be interested in them and show it to them and if they're nice they'll show this interest back in you

BRO YESSSS IVE DONE THAT but not with rakhi with a grass on the same day

Omgg same not my friends but a bunch of annoying classmates did.

omggg i did that toooooo

Nobody shipped me with anyone fortunately, but I did have a friend that didnt believe I had a no crush. so I got into a breakdown, google stuff, got into more breakdowns bc my family is queerphobic, got over it, accepted myself as aroace

like.....optimus prime?

The Only way out of this is to raise awareness in some way, so there's communication between the LGBT and "normal" people. How will you go out with someone or even have friends that respect you for who you are if you can't talk abt who you are? They usually have some kind of political group in those homophobic countries. Maybe theres some little things that you can do to help?

You can always use dating apps. That's where you will find your people who want the same thing as you. But dating in general is messy regardless whether you are straight or not.

Damn kids sucks so much (directed at that last part.)

that questions stresses me toooo cause like IK my friends and people around me would be supportive of me being aroace, but I just don't want to identify openly as it! idk why...I just want people to look at me as me, don't perceive my sexuality, just *m e* dont make assumptions _(my aroace friend thinks I'm lesbian)_ about what I am, just let me beeeee pleaseeee

Lord I felt this. I've never had a crush either and always had to give some random boys name to be a part of the friend group. Soon I realized I was into girls and not guys because I can't see myself in a relationship with a guy but THEN I realized after getting a girlfriend that I only had a sexual attraction to girls but not wanting to get into a relationship with girls or anyone. Yet I still hope that one day I will want to hold someone's hand romantically and have a relationship even though I'm terrified because I have no idea what it means to see some romantically or platonically. Plz save my confused ass

Well if you can imagine a whole entire future w/ em its probably a crush. Or if you'll feel comfrtable being extremely close w/ physical attraction then its probably a crush. Actually should i even be saying this i've have no crushes in my entire life and having a mild case of questioning my romantic attractions .-.

(Im so sorry this is so long 😭) Hello! So I absolutely can't guarantee that I can explain this in a way that can be understood, but I hope my experience w/ crushes of both guys and girls can offer some insight or a form of clarity!💛 So in my personal experience, I would describe a crush in general as a fluttering, nervousness and adoration when I think of the person's qualities, such as their appearance (their kind smile, their expressions, style, overall energy, etc.) and their personhood (such as talents, capabilities, aspirations, empathy, sociability, etc.) As I got to know them more, these qualities would heighten one another and influence e/o - for ex., if I liked someone's ability to bring positivity to their peers, I would associate that attribute with their smile and like that physical characteristic even more. This would make me wish I could be around them more often, share fond memories together, be allowed in their personal world and space (holding hands, leaning on e/o, hugging, etc.) and being someone who held a unique and special place in their lives that was different from that of a friend, best friend, or family friends. The crush can vary based off of which side of the attraction spectrum you lean towards, whether you mostly only have visual information about the person you have a crush on, or whether internal qualities are the main thing you find in your crush. You can take this a step further - I recently experienced my first love, and the reason why I wanted her to be in my life forever was because she simultaneously gave me a sense of security and healthy challenge in my personhood, she uplifted me and we tried to influence positive development in e/o, we made future plans far out into our adulthood as a couple and being integrated as partners, and (I felt at least) we brought out the best in e/o. This can also be mirrored platonically, but I think the major difference is that you land in the middle of the attraction spectrum mentioned earlier, and you more importantly want to hold the special place of life partner in their world, not limited to friends (you'll feel limited with the title of "friendship" alone, and you'll feel the desire to be considered something more). I hope this helps on some level, and it's okay if your journey to finding yourself continues on, there's no rush to self recognition! ^-^

OMG IKR

you may be what is called an Aromantic. Or at least on the 'spectrum' of it. ( You don't feel romantic attraction towards anyone) Demiromantic is when you only get crushes on people you become really good friends with. Hope this helped.

I am a straight dude who struggles to get crushes as well, though not when I was younger. Basically, I felt lust, so I'd just date a girl and be romantic for her, then get my sex out of it. There was one time I did end up falling in love, hard. I spoke with a cute coworker I specifically did not want to try to date, but in our first meeting she just seemed to really agree with views I hadn't even realized I had, and had similar interests. Without even trying to be smooth, I told her, "I really have to go, but I would keep talking to you if I could. Can I have your number?" Now that that's over, I don't know if I'll ever fall in love or get a proper crush again. Being honest about who I am while maintaining the actions of a good person is effective enough to get me a girlfriend with mutual trust, though.

I had 3 crushes over the entirety of my life, and all 3 flopped kind of nonchalantly because I am going to assume both of us didn't really want to potentially ruin the friendship we've already built together, so all 3 of my crushes stayed friends. And then the one time I actually wanted to commit into a romantic relationship and so did he, he just went poof from discord and we never got in touch ever again. But hey, at least that guy made me realize that I was bi, so there's that

@@poisonivory6017 he just mentioned he's straight lmao. Also u can be perfectly off the spectrum and still struggle with maintaining crushes. I havent had a crush in years, that doesnt make me aromantic because i know I'm not. Crushes are crushes for a reason, they are _meant_ to go away. Its only when crushes develop into smth more than a crush that you actively want more with that person. Otherwise its perfectly normal to lose interest in a crush. Media and kids play it out like crushes are the holy grail and be all end all of things when its just a silly concept of temporary attraction.

@@mcbedo6568 I was making a suggestion based off of my own experience. It's completely fine if you yourself don't feel that way, I really don't care. And from what I have seen at my high school, people tend to get a crush and want to be with the person even without it developing into 'something else' whatever that something else is. Other than that I can't say much else because I haven't experienced romantic attraction to anyone. I don't believe that crushes are the be all and end all as an Aromantic Asexual person, it is quite the opposite.

Yeah
