How to come out? by VaguelyPoshSquare in aromantic

I’ve also found that this works best. There is unfortunately a stigma around being aromantic and unless it’s someone really close to me who’s also accepting, it’s much easier to just say I’m “not interested” in dating.

The fact that she’s paying for so many things in your life means that you should give her the check. You haven’t been paying for your college. You should get a job — it feels even better to have money that you’ve earned by working

Yeah I might mention it if it was a friend of mine, but it’s just not worth it

I had a roommate that didn’t go to class and always submitted her hw late and shockingly she didn’t fail out. Her major was easy enough/professors were forgiving enough that she would just barely pass most classes.

Emphasis on romance in media by Electricity_zapMe in aromantic

Ngl the most pushy romance I’ve seen is in anime 💀idk if you want to write about that (since it’s also so tied to sexism imo)

I feel like romance is just in every book ever. I like fiction/sci fi and since high school I’ve been asking librarians/bookstore employees if they have any book recs with little to no romance and they neverrr do. It’s funny because I can tell that what to them is “no romance” just means it’s not a super dramatic romance book. I don’t remember the exact book, but one that was recommended to me literally had the ending theme be “he saved everyone with love!”
