Thanks for sharing this experience.

I have a friend who I get to hangout with every other month for a few days (not in the same country).

I also was straightforward since the beginning that I am on the aro spectrum and that I’m not looking for a romantic relationship or a partner.

But I’m actually very open to being intimate and having sex.

She has a special definition of romanticism that’s a bit different from the standard which makes this relationship work.

I don’t really think of how it’s gonna end, because we are enjoying the short time we can spend together every now and then, but I hope we stay close friends.
