#aromanticism

[samnoahalov]

Literally what I've been wanting for as loong as I realized that I didn't had to marry anyone to live with them.

"Don't you want your own family?"

Of course I want it. Just another kind of family.

My dream is to have a house full of friends, where we can eat all together then playing cards until late in the night, laughing and singing. Or where we can have a hot chocolate and a deep conversation. A safe and welcoming space for me and my loved ones.

I want an additional bed to host those who come from afar and a big kitchen table for lunches and dinners.

I want someone to cook pies with, to travel with, to spend the Christmas holidays with.

I want to be loved and to love. That's a simple dream, really. That's my concept of family

can't say i love the aro community becoming increasingly hostile to aroaces, especially when a lot of us have already been alienated from the ace community for the exact same reason. i don't like the conflation of asexuality and aromanticism either, but some people seem to be getting reallll comfortable with casual acephobia. like. man just say you hate ace people, you're not special

[aro-polls]

Do you want a life partner (or partners) of some kind that you share a home, finances, long term commitments, etc with?

Yes, and I am aromantic

Yes, and I am arospec

Yes, and I am alloromantic / not on the aro spectrum

No, and I am aromantic

No, and I am arospec

No, and I am alloromantic / not on the aro spectrum

Unsure, and I am aromantic

Unsure, and I am arospec

Unsure, and I am alloromantic / not on the aro spectrum

shoutout to the person with the aro ace painted bottlecaps I met on the bus last week, I totally blanked on the fact I could ask you to exchange some kind of contact information and this is about a zero percent chance to reach you but it was really cool talking to you + I'm also aro/ace

[killingmyselfbutnotdying]

"Friends dont look at friends that way" COWARD. I look at my friends with awe in my eyes, my chest is filled with love, im glowing because i get to be near my friends. I look at my friends and i would give them my everything. SO SKILL ISSUE, look at your friends with all the love that you have

[polyamorousmood]

It really says something that a lot of monogamous people consider polyamorous and aromantic to be "opposites" but every polyam person I know took one look at aromantics and said "they're just like me for real"

[knifearo]

as an optimist i dream of a beautiful world where people are fucking normal about aromanticism

[rottingwithers]

No, you misunderstood. When I said I can’t feel romantic or sexual attraction I wasn’t complaining, I was bragging.

[canonically47]

“there is no straight explanation for this” neither is there a gay one. there is however an aromantic one

[aro-polls]

Aropsecs, would you like to be in a romantic relationship? If you are currently in a romantic relationship, answer with how you felt before that relationship or how you would feel if that relationship ended.

No, I am actively repulsed by that idea

No, I don’t like that idea

Not actively, I’m neutral, depends on circumstances

I’m neutral, but I would like to try it at some point

I would like one, but not enough to form a romantic relationship without feeling attraction

I would like one, regardless of if I felt romantic attraction to my partner(s) or not, but not necessarily immediately

I really want a romantic relationship and am actively seeking one

Results / not arospec

*FULL ANSWER: I would like one, regardless of if I felt romantic attraction to my partner(s) or not, but not necessarily immediately

Had to shorten because of character limits </3

[merely-a-caricature]

Normalize super close friendships instead of assuming there must be a romantic and/or sexual factor—friends are a wonderful treasure!

[pinnakoladda]

hey as a local aroace, i want to specify something.

we're no strangers to love. you know the rules and so do i (do i). a full commitments what im thinking of. you wouldnt get this from any other guy. i just wanna tell you how im feeling. gotta make you understand. never gonna give you up. never gonna let you down. never gonna run around and desert you. never gonna make you cry. never gonna say goodbye. never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

[hello-im-queer]

I want to find out how many people are aromantic and/or asexual on Tumblr so i made this

[fun-k-boards]

Aphobia is crazy because why does my decision not to fuck or romance anybody matter to you
