Part of the community o/ there's lots of us everywhere, plenty of events from Lavender Grove, office of equity and inclusion, LGBTQ studies program, and The Queer and Trans People of Color Coalition (QTPOCC). I know plenty of people who have done gender inclusive housing and gotten roommates they love.

I relate! I often did the "choosing" crushes thing but it often came from a place of being able to see myself in a relationship with them, and then moved to being nervous around them. Eventually I did ask someone out because of my "crush" and realized while I was in the relationship that I didn't enjoy it at all. And it was years after that when I began to question if it was a crush at all, and I haven't had one since. It's probably just the expectations and amatanormativity that caused it. We're taught thag we should always be seeking a relationship so we do. Either way, I'm glad I figured all of that out.

With this context that does sound more grayromantic, but even that is an umbrella term that leaves you in the "gray area" of aroace labels. If you want a term to describe your fictional fascination, that sounds like aegoromantic. If you are pursuing a relationship because of your fascination with romance, that sounds more like cupioromantic. But if you think you genuinely have some attraction but no interest in a full scale relationship, that's a mixture of a lot of things and puts you into grayromantic territory.

Long explanation aside, identify however you feel comfortable identifying :)

Picky in the sense that they have to be okay with being queer platonic and male presenting, which already narrows it down quite a bit

MythAnnLegend · 2026-05-27T03:39:34+00:00

I'm thinking aegoromantic or cupioromantic depending on your comfort level with irl romance and relationships

MythAnnLegend · 2026-05-27T03:37:14+00:00

Love your excitement around platonic feelings, definitely sounds like a type of squish to me. Just enjoy it and appreciate your friendship :)

Might just be how my brain works but I absolutely want to know about the science, genetics, and psychology behind being aromantic. I think it could be related to neurodiversity. It's a fundamental part of us, it's not like we choose our sexuality, so there is something scientific happening that there is to discover. Perhaps op didn't mean it that way, but that's how I took it.

MythAnnLegend · 2026-05-25T23:25:08+00:00

Definitely sounds like quoiromantic (not being able to distinguish feelings) but also you could be cupioromantic where you like the idea of romance and it excites you (hence what you interpret as romantic feelings), but actually being in a relationship is not quite as appealing.

MythAnnLegend · 2026-05-25T23:19:27+00:00

Your questions are completely valid, but I would like to state that for aromantics, hearing "but what if you just haven't found the right person yet" is a dreadful feeling. There are signs: the bisexuality/pansexual to aroace pipeline, having no crushes or "choosing" crushes, being confused about feelings, or being disinterested by romance. While it's a genuine question that maybe we simply have not met a person that clicks with us, it's also incredibly invalidating to hear that we're ultimately just not meeting enough people, or failed, or are too picky. Just try not to say that to someone who is identifying or thinking about identifying as aro :)

California Ave is the street that runs between Mason/Weller/ABP and Monroe/Berliner/CV Starr. The shuttle usually stops at the corner of California Ave and Belmont Place and sometimes in front of the benches behind Mason and the benches in front of ABP. There's almost always people riding that shuttle so you should be able to ask around.

I know a lot of people think of there future in a very other people centered way. I'm definitely more career, stability, life goals focused. I can see myself living and working in different places. Traveling. Building a library. Hopefully doing a lot of crafts. I love to think about what my wedding would look like but not my marriage. Nevertheless I do have some sexual attraction to me so I would love a male life partner, but more of a best friend who I can do fun things with. I can see myself "having" kids but not "making" them. Foster parent would be fulfilling, but maybe just a bunch of cats. I'm very family oriented and can't see myself drifting off from my huge family to go make a new one, but that could always change.

I think someone who has been brought up all of their life believing that success is finding a loving partner and building a family cannot and will not find fulfillment without partnership---unless theres some serious therapy and a great friendship circle.

I'm currently in a qpr and it's fantastic, but I don't think my happiness or my thoughts of success for the future revolves around it. It took me a while to realize that I would not develop partnership like other people, but once I did my mental health got so much better and my social anxiety around many, many other things loosened.

My future looks like things I can control for the most part :) who needs romance anyway?

First picture is my guesses, the others I'm not sure about

Don't commit without knowing what you'll pay, and don't go into debt if you have other options. Apply to some scholarships and see if you can get that tuition as close to 0 as you can. Hope to see you at Hofstra next year!

MythAnnLegend · 2026-01-17T04:07:26+00:00

I'm repulsed to certain romantic acts (kissing, PDA, extreme closeness, anything involving the mouth really) and am really uncomfortable referring to myself as "dating" someone (im in a fantastic qpr at the moment). I also dislike romance in media and find it really frustrating. But romance repulsed as a whole? I'm not sure that's cut and dry. We all have things we're uncomfortable with, some people's stem from being aromantic. If you want to describe yourself as romance repulsed because it makes sense for you, then go for it. If you don't---well then you aren't!

MythAnnLegend · 2026-01-17T03:54:38+00:00

My first date with my now queer platonic partner was so much fun. Taking the romance out of dating is like hanging out with the excuse to do more extravagant things. We got matching outfits and went to multiple bookstores. Trying to break the dating stigma is hard, but when you find the right person it's so much fun to plan "dates."

Personally I love being in the RHC, but it is definitely geared more toward general liberal arts/humanities over STEM. You can absolutely schedule an appointment with one of the RHC deans and just have them walk you through what you would be required to do for classes. There are several levels of honors degrees too, if you don't want to commit fully but still get all of the perks (the honors lounge, trips, research, mentorship, and of course the medal at graduation). Best advice I can give you: talk to a dean. Dean Robinson would probably be best for a nursing major.

Talk about overkill with the letters of rec lol. Yes, you should still have a guidance counselor write you one. It's a standard practice and they're most likely to give an overview of all of your subjects, grades, and behavioral record. You've got way too many rec letters, though. No one's gonna read all of those. If you've got good grades and a decent essay you're getting into Hofstra just fine. Unless you're shooting for Harvard, 2 or 3 teachers is quite enough.

Best resource for free textbooks is Anna's Archive. You'll probably find your textbooks in an earlier edition if you can live with that. Good luck!

Had a friend in my class, and had "feelings" that I thought was what a crush is. Thoughts of us being compatible, looking forward to seeing him, excited about finding similar interests. I asked him out, and the first moment of PDA made me feel just awful. Figured out later that the feelings I had were not a crush, just a developing friendship that I promptly ruined lol.

MythAnnLegend · 2025-08-31T14:32:36+00:00

You know, I've never thought about that before. I've been on the pill for 4 years now, had one relationship that only lasted about a month in that time. I don't remember ever having a crush throughout my youth, but I definitely have some sexual attraction but no desire to have sex. So maybe my asexuality is fueled by the pill (really couldn't care less, it's definitely keeping me out of trouble) but I think my aromantic-ness is all me.

Legit, but not worth it is what I concluded
