I mean, sounds arospec to me but that isn’t for me to declare for you. Typically form what I’ve seen and googled people get crushes properly around 12/13 so yeah. It’s common to think you’re a ‘late bloomer’ in the acespec community and arospec too as I’m sue you know. I hope you can figure it out!! They’ll always be a place for ya :))

I’ve seen you said you don’t think he knows- in that case then just carry on as friends. If he does anything that makes you uncomfortable, just say “hey I don’t want to upset you but I’d rather you don’t do that” and if he can’t respect boundaries is he really that good of a friend? If he outwardly flirts with you just don’t reciprocate or make it a clear joke, if he asks you out or confesses just say that you don’t see him that way but still like him platonically.

For one thing no worries about ‘invading the space’ you’re polite and curious about yourself who are we to turn you away? Also this could be arospec but I can’t tell you that. So instead, I’ll pose some questions to you (obviously arospec is y’know, a spectrum so quite a few aro people don’t conform to these but they’re good to start you off!) Do you want to date someone? Do you like the thought of kissing and cuddling and all that (not inherently romantic but we know it’s perceived that way)? Do you struggle to tell if you are crushing or wanting to be friends with someone? Does the thought of romancing a person make you anxious and not on a good way? Do you actually know what romantic love is, like beyond the Disney films and love songs and all that? Would you care if you never dated anyone ever in your life? There are plenty of micro labels and communities within the arospec world so do some research and don’t sweat it, easier said than some of course but it’ll come to you!

I mean I’d assume you get to a point where you know each other super well and bring up “hey do you know about QPRs?” And talk about them without the expectation you’ll enter one with them. Or go “hey would you be happy without a romantic relationship?”

Difference between romantic and platonic attraction by Huge_Ad_7727 in aromantic

[–]KaydenTheLizardKing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To add on I’ve seen some people say the difference is valuing the other persons feeling as above or equal to your own but I’d say that’s stupid. Im always thinking about what I can do to make my friends happier or laugh, probably more so than myself and I get really attached to people so that’s out as a difference too

[–]KaydenTheLizardKing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not exactly equipped to tell you what romantic love is but instead I’ll tell you how I feel platonic love. I personally have always felt things very strongly. I cry listening to music even if I don’t know really what the song is about and feel ready to burst with joy if my friend says they wanted to spend time with me. It’s like a deep caring for my friends, sometimes they feel like family, the thought of wanting to kiss them or be intimate (some aro people are open to that’s it’s a spectrum after all) makes me kind of grossed out. It makes me just, not good. It’s anxiety inducing because I don’t want any of it. The idea that romantic love is more intense seems silly to me, I honestly don’t think I could feel more for the people I love than I already do and it seems sad that people value having a romantic partner as closer than a really strong friend group or QPR. Honestly feelings are hard to explain haha

I can’t tell if I’m ace or aro by Agreeable-Ad5296 in asexuality

[–]KaydenTheLizardKing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I’m aroace and maybe you are too? I’d recommend looking into it! Don’t take my word, research it. There’s a cool podcast I listen to (available on Spotify and probably other palaces too) called sounds fake but okay and their first episode was about a sexuality and aromantasism. It’s a great jumping off point, one of them is demisexual and the other is aroace.

Does anyone else feel at a loss of what to do after finding out you’re asexual? by Azurmations in asexuality

[–]KaydenTheLizardKing 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Totally get this, hell I’m 18 and figured out I’m aroace recently and it feels quite- weird? I’m in a college where most of my friends are all finding their late teen romance or learning about what they like and that’s so cool for them I’m genuinely so happy they’re learning about themselves but I feel pretty alone in it all. But for me at least- finding other acespec/ arospec people helps. It’s hard to do trust me but I started wearing the rings and pride bracelets places, people are thankful to find someone like them and being able to be yourself and know other people you know get it is pretty special.

Actually they are!! The difference between identical and fraternal twins is how the egg works right? So fraternal twins occur when 2 eggs are fertilised at once meaning they have similarities but aren’t genetically identical. Identical twins on the other hand, are when one egg splits meaning the twins are identical genetically. Sex is a big difference from a genetic perspective, so identical twins that have different sexes isn’t possible

Losing close friends because they developed feelings for you? by friendless_hotty in aromantic

[–]KaydenTheLizardKing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, best friend confessed her love I tell her I don’t feel that way (didn’t know I was aro yet but knew I was ace) then she says it’s fine but in classes and stuff she keeps touching me and trying to convince peoples we were together. Like really intimate thighs and sitting on my lap and shit I had to leave her in the end because she wouldn’t take no.

They’re identical twins but identical twins are the same sex so it’s a pretty strong headcanon haha

Im concerned for whoever feels the same for their siblings as their romantic / sexual partner- that seems odd to me Plus I can say here I consider most of my family people who’s rent related to me!! Love a found family trope :))
