okay I’m going to tell you all a big secret please don’t tell anyone just keep it between us: aromantic people can be in and even enjoy romantic relationships. they can be in monogamous relationships or polyamorous relationships. they can be in love with their partner(s) or not. they can fuck their partner(s) or not. they can get married and have three children. they can have a string of monogamous relationships. they can have three partners that they are devoted to for life. they can have two partners that are more involved with each other than them. they can be single forever. they can do whatever makes them happy.
hey dude sorry to be a pain but i’m aro and while everything else on this post is awesome, aro ppl don’t fall in (romantic) love, they aren’t romantically attracted to anyone. ur right they can be in romantic relationships and enjoy it, but they are not aro if they feel romantic attraction. however they may be on the aro spectrum!! aroflux, demi, etc!!
cool I’m aro too. You’re absolutely right that being aromantic means you don’t experience romantic attraction. but that doesn’t mean they can’t fall in love, or at least form a deep emotional connection and dependence on another person (aka falling in love). if asexual people can have sex without experiencing sexual attraction, id say an aromantic person can fall in love without feeling romantically attracted to someone. romance is honestly such a fluid and language-dependent topic, that i don’t think any person on earth could actually fall under the label if the actual requirement was “not being capable of falling in love.” because what even is love anyway? its all so reliant on our own ability as humans to communicate these feelings with our words and sometimes our own languages limit us.
every persons experience is different, and for me personally, i view my own aromanticism as not just my own lack of romantic attraction, but more so my own social rejection of romance. for me, being aromantic doesn’t mean not falling in love, it means forming deep emotional connections, but not acknowledging the language we use to describe it and the social connotation that comes with it. but obviously every person is different, so if your definition of being aromantic means being incapable of “falling in love” then thats entirely your right to think that. but also I’m going to defend myself on my post.
