I can't tell if I've felt romantic attraction to this fictional character 3 years ago, I hope it wasn't romantic attraction (I don't want to be straight or anything other than aro). Does Romantic attraction really feel "romantic" and "flirty"? I know that I liked the character, as an edgy cool character but I don't think I genuinely, genuinely wanted to kiss or marry said character. I know I've never actually felt "romantic" or "flirty" or "candlelit serene dinner" or "butterflies in my stomach and birds singing with rose petals drifting in the air" in my life. I found the character cool, it was viewed as a (hetero) crush by my family so I just played along with it, perceiving it as a crush. I hope it wasn't an actual crush/romantic attraction, like I really really hope it wasn't. So, my question is, is romantic attraction actually a "romantic" feeling, not like any basic excitement or anxiety or obsession, but like an actual "I want to kiss him and marry him so much, pink hearts and butterflies and birds chirping" kind of feeling?
