Imagine:
an aro-centric friend-finding/qpr/dating/hookup/etc. app called "Cupid's Aro"
#I wish this was a real thing#just having a way to find other aro people who are looking for other aro people#want a queerplatonic relationship? cupid's aro#want more aro friends? cupid's aro#want to start or join a commune full of aros? cupid's aro#want to date without worrying too much about how your partner would feel about you being aro? cupid's aro#want to just have fun [wink wink nudge nudge] without worrying too much about it getting romantic? cupid's aro#want a dating app/adjacent app where you can highlight tertiary attractions? cupid's aro#want a dating app/adjacent app that caters to aromantic identities and experiences? cupid's aro#like. someone make this a thing#I just don't know how to make it real#aromanticism#aro-spec#arospec#aromantic spectrum#aromantic#aro#aromanticity

I just wanna go on dates with her
#thoughts#oni talks#oni has a crush#sapphic yearning#I have a speed dating thing I’m going to with a friend she needs it and I already bought a ticket#but honestly I just wanna go on dates with this one girl but we’re not technically dating so that feels so silly to say#I can’t tell if it’s friendship or slowburn vibes and I don’t wanna rush into things in a toxic U-Haul way but like#idk I just wanna do cute shit together I wanna take care of her when she gets home from stuff and help her work on things#I wanna shower her in all the stuff that reminds me of her and that I think she’d like but also I don’t wanna do too much#I feel like I should not be this committed when we’re not committed but like I wanna be? i can’t tell if I’m being normal or weird#I wanna get her flowers and cuddle and shit man#I wanna do all those romantic tension things like doing each others makeup those practical massages holding hands#lap stuff and like I wanna hear about her day and stuff and I’m just like aaaahhhhh#i wanna see her flustered and happy and also I wanna be buff enough to pick her up without water#I think I’m going a little gay insane I don’t have enough experience to navigate this shit Yall#how the fuck am I supposed to tell where platonic closeness and sapphic closeness begins and ends and shit#my sentimental ass can’t stop associating her and bringing her up but I can’t see her as often now so it’s like ahhh#how am I ready to delete all my dating apps and shit and we haven’t even kissed the sapphic yearning has overtaken me yall#I keep watching sapphic shit as I do and it keeps working me the fuck up send lesbian gods or smth#we just exchanged socials so now I can bomb her with silly little gay memes and she sent me hearts and like#she got me giggling and twirling and kicking my feet and shit

not to get too existential on main or anything but like. maybe there isn’t someone for everyone, romantically speaking. maybe some of us are just meant to be alone. because just the thought of having to date people, having to open up/alter your home and your life for someone else in the name of romantic partnership seems so exhausting to me, especially after trying for so long and constantly being let down in one way or another. i have gotten to the point in life where i am SO happy being alone. do i sometimes crave intimacy like any other human being? sure. but my peace doesn’t feel worth sacrificing to maybe find someone i can tolerate most of the time.
#much to think about#and for the record I feel like I may fall somewhere on the ace spectrum so sex isn’t really even an issue for me#like I could go the rest of my life without having sex with someone and it really wouldn’t bother me#also as an otherwise heterosexual cisgender woman my prospects on men are just… Not Great#also I should mention I am not aromantic#I am very much romantic actually#but I just feel like I’ll be alone forever because I refuse to settle#and I also refuse to use dating apps and that is unfortunately where most people my age range in their late 20s/early 30s meet people#and I think they are dumb and I don’t want to do that#plus I am vehemently childfree so there goes a lot of men lol but ones I wouldn’t be interested in anyways

I'm gonna be honest. I want a fwb who is chill with sometimes just getting super stoned, eating junk food and just cuddling while we watch cooking shows.
I can't cook all that well but I'm 100% that person who sits there and tries to direct what they're doing from the couch. 😆
#My last partner was ace so we could be romantically involved and just chill but I desperately want a chill cuddle buddy.#We have great taste in snacks and movies too. predominantly horror but ya know...#Personal#Just wish I wasn't so bad with dating apps. ugh.#Also someone who appreciates neck nuzzling and the occasional nibble because I am like my cat.

You ever feel like you'll never find romantic love in your life
#cookie talks#just. thinking about how my older brother is married and my older sister is engaged#and how my longest relationship was like. 5 months and half of that time was spent long distance bc covid lockdown happened#like. that was 4 years ago. fuck.#and my relationship before that was maybe a month and a half#i just. idk man. ive had like. crushes and stuff and ive tried dating apps occasionally but nothing has ever stuck#and i do love my friends and appreciate them and platonic love is amazing. but sometimes. sometimes i want romantic love too.#it doesn't help that i have the whole 'i want to move out of the country' thing looming over my head so i feel guilty for wanting a#romantic interest bc of the complications that would bring. i feel like im not allowed to have any until after that happens

had to block the op of that "dating apps dont get it i wanna have a crush" post bc it made me so mad
#the perspective of people who have not used dating apps much at all honestly!#my ex and i met on bumble#we then had a wicked months long slow burn that largely took place over text#bc we were both too shy to do anything more than friendly in person#we're still super close bc we started from a base of friendship#but regardless#my current gf? i refused to let myself acknowledge romantic feelings for her#bc she had a complicated situation and i was scared of getting hurt#literally did not let myself fall for her til she moved in with me#and we also met on bumble#like#the only information the dating app gives you is#'this person most likely thinks im cute'#that's barely anything!#you can go a million places with that#and i have absolutely had unrequited crushes thru dating apps#or requited ones that took ages to develop (like that ex)#its just. its just a form of meeting people. thats it.

bisexuality update! today i was getting ice cream and a guy walked in. extremely short, and looked like the type of guy who regularly yells at another guy on the streets of hoboken outside of the local deli about the yankees. and i thought you know what actually i might want to fuck him. !!!!!!!
#this is fucking progress i think yeah????? like the first real life man ive ever encountered who i can recognize im attracted to! woo hoo!#if i’d have matched w him on a dating app i absolutely would have met up with him at a dunkin or smth! i cannot see myself romantically with#him or men in general and i don’t think that will ever change but like dude i want to take that man’s virginity with a neon pink strap and b#e his big spoon when it’s over while we watch cake boss or some shit on the tv. i sneak out as he’s drifting off and he doesn’t see me again#until we’re fucking again; maybe he’s in charge this time at least at first but once i get my mouth on him he gets all babygirl-ified and i#lay him down and take care of him….#this is hilarious and i’m high key very happy for myself bc like dude i know i have so much internalized biphobia so being able to recognize#that i’m attracted to him????? fuck yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!#i want to take this man’s virginity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Listening to people talk about how they get matches on dating apps and compliments from people but “they’re just so ugly :(“. Or people with an active love life talk about how they’re the person nobody notices, the person who doesn’t get dates or romantic attention ect. creates such a pit in my stomach. I feel ill.
#vent tw#ill ill ill#I know it’s my own fault. I don’t put myself in situations where I could meet somebody. I don’t like the thought of dating apps.#and in the end even if I like the thought of a romantic relationship. would that even be a good idea right now#but still it makes me feel so. hopeless.#I don’t feel unattractive or unlovable#I feel nonexistent#I feel like a ghost#I am by definition a background character#in some way it’s probably a good thing#I don’t get harassed or bothered while I’m out. I just do my own thing and people leave me alone#but when I go out with others I am always the least interesting person there#strangers will strike up conversations with my friends but there is no reason to even acknowledge me#I’ve added ghost to my cycle of things#sometimes I feel like a vampire. sometimes an alien. and lately. a ghost

going on instagram in your early 20s is wild because there are people i went to high school with who are married, own a house, and are posting pictures of the baby they just had or others who travel the country spontaneously with their significant other. and i’m looking at these pictures while i sit in my childhood bedroom on a saturday evening, like nothing changed.
#sorry. i have moments when i’m completely fine with where i’m at.#but then i compare myself to others and feel like the worlds biggest loser.#i’ve made no friends in college. live laugh love.#i really just… don’t go out. and i genuinely don’t want to cause i’m introverted? so i should just be happy and accept that i’m okay.#but then i feel like i’m missing out? but the idea of ‘going out’ is so draining to me?#like i’ve never been a romantic relationship. and some days i’m okay with it and other days it really grates me. like it’s so lonely.#and i do not want to do dating apps and i don’t go out so it’s like 😀#and i have 3 friends who i love dearly#and a great relationship with my parents and sister#so it’s like i should be fine but i still feel like im behind and lonely and just so shitty#i am rambling and i probably shouldn’t post this but oh well#i hate it i hate it i hate it#i hate feeling this way#im fine#vent#more like pity party#amy.txt

still journey talk but the way you can just infinitely fly together with someone else and keep each other afloat. that's. that's a relationship right there. i'm going insane.
#sometimes you will fall but you will get each other back up im djkhgfjkdhk#(this applies to any relationship btw like both platonic and romantic but ngl im being a hopeless romantic here rn)#glitch plays journey#journey spoilers#journey is a dating app pass it on#no but imagine meeting the love of your life in this game#ok i stop good night
