    Want to live my romantic life single

    Those are aromantics. 😌☝️ I’m sure there are asexual people out there who would still like a relationship. The common theme among asexuals, to oversimplify, is essentially the little to no interest in sexual things or activities.

    Romantic relationships don’t automatically have to be sexual. We still like cuddles and kisses. Most of us do anyway haha.

      In all honesty I’m aroace but yeah, I’ve heard of aces wanting to get mushy with a partner but not doing the deed in bed itself. Just using myself as an example, should’ve changed it to “want to remain a virgin out of orientation purposes” or something.

        That’s fine! You could be Grayromantic. You know, a bridge between Aro and an Alloromantic (someone who has romantic attraction).

        It’s all a spectrum in the end, not black and white.

              I know the spectrum and was thinking of it, but idk how to start, cause I like hugs sometimes for example, but that’s pretty much it, I’ll check out AVEN, I was there before a long time but didn’t knew that they could help you find out.

                Hey, I like hugs too! Hugs aren’t a sexual/romantic thing anyway, so liking it doesn’t invalidate you as a fellow ace/aro-spec person.

                And well, AVEN’s forums does have a section called “Questioning”, so…
