Spoodz Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 So recently I’ve been feeling less and less of a desire for a romantic relationship with someone. Like it just doesn’t appeal to me at all, so I started wondering if I was aromantic or not. I know I’m not fully aromantic because I’ve had crushes before and I’ve been in a relationship once previously. It was very nice and I think I loved the person a lot, however I don’t really know if there was any difference between the love I felt for this person and the love I feel for my friends. I absolutely ADORE anyone who is close and very special to me, which this person was at the time so maybe that was all I was feeling. The idea of going on “cute dates” with people and holding hands with them has never really appealed to me though, even when I was in a relationship with this person. I really enjoyed spending time with them but I never really felt the desire to do anything more than that (except for cuddles, however I like hugs in general so I think it’s probably more the fact I like hugs rather than romantically cuddling with them.) I do catch feelings for people sometimes and the idea of having a relationship seems really nice, however in real life I don’t think I’d enjoy it as much as I do in my head, I feel like just spending time with the person in the same way I would with a close friend is enough, rather than any sort of romantic relationship. So that’s made me question if I’m on the aromantic spectrum or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alto Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 You might be aro-spectrum. Have you heard of queerplatonic relationships? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoodz Posted July 19 Author Share Posted July 19 I just looked it up, it does sound very similar to what I’m experiencing!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
