Hater no.1 over here… Turns out I did not want to date them, just didn’t hate them!
title. I love the concept of love, but when it comes down to it, it makes me so uncomfortable. How does one be happy in a world full of people who seem to revolve their lives around something that I can’t understand.
I don’t know what I am romance wise. Gender doesn’t matter to me, and I do feel some sort attraction to people that isn’t always platonic but from my experiences with situationships, the moment they’ve started trying to make things serious I’ve gotten so freaked out by the concept. For instance I am in such a ‘situationship’ right now and recently they asked why we aren’t dating and though I didn’t say it, my only real answer is that I don’t want to.
I have had one proper relationship that lasted almost a year, but really we were just super close friends and each-others ‘person’.
Compared to most people I am quite uninterested in relationships. I do not ever seek out a romantic partner and have no interest in dating. The only reason I want some sort of relationship is to be somebody’s favourite person and to feel appreciated in some way. Being referred to by someone as their ‘boyfriend’ would make me happy but I guess only really because it is them expressing that I’m someone special to them.
Sorry for this dump and thank you for reading if you did ! I am very uneducated about the Aromantic orientation but do see myself somewhere in there.
very difficult I know
