- In honor of Aromantic Awareness Week, I decided to do an Aromantic 101 video. In this video I go over what aromantic means, what the aro flag means, some signs you might be aromantic, some myths about being aromantic, as well as where to find aromantic resources and community. I hope you all enjoy this video!

Aromanticism shouldn't be defined as having little to no interest in or desire for romantic relationships. This is another common misconception, aromanticism is about experiencing little to no romantic attraction. Cupioromantics can desire romantic relationships without experiencing romantic attraction. We are really misunderstood and we need to inform people clearly on who we are.
You’re right. When I was researching it that was the only definition I could find and I couldn’t remember the other way to put it. I’m gonna pin this comment tho so everyone will be able to see this!
How would you describe "romantic attraction"?
@@DasOrangensaft. having romantic interest in other people in the form of crushes or romantic feelings.
@@farisakhtar4824 Thank you for your quick reply! Yeah... What are romantic feelings? Find that really hard to determine... 🤔
@@DasOrangensaft. idk myself, I'm pretty sure I've never wanted a relationship of that nature with anyone and I don't relate to having a crush or romantic feelings. In fact, I find it repulsive which makes me more sure I'm aro (some aros are romance repulsed and a minority of allos are too).
Aromantic lesbian and am SO HAPPY at the reminder not all aromantics are asexual, I often get judgements from bote asexual and non-asexual communities for being aromantic but not asexual
I'm so sorry you get judged for that. I promise you're valid no matter what!
@@lynnsaga1397 I know, people who matter don't judge, and your comment means a lot! Your vid made me super happy bc sometimes it feel like aromantic but not asexual is left out of the conversation (I had to explain this concept to a professor at uni, that was 'fun')
This is what I’m struggling with. I’ve realised that I’m aro but I’m not asexual. I don’t want romance. But I can cope with some romance in the bedroom only. Relationships I have had felt like friendship to me, but different. Almost more than friendship as there is desire and sexual attraction. But it’s a different type of friendship because I have friends that feel like family and I’d never cross that line with. But if I meet someone who I’m sexually attracted to then I connect with them as more than friendship but not romantic feelings. Does this make sense?! I kind of only just realised I could be aro a couple of days ago. Up until then I just thought... oh it’s the wrong person or why do I feel so cold and repulsed by romantic feelings/intimacy. I’m kind of having a hard time finding people who related to aro without asexually.
@@lovepaperfloral I'd say look up Nik Hampshire to hear from someone who is aromantic but not asexual. He doesn't post a whole lot but I found what he does helpful. I know it can be a lonely place so if you ever need to talk let me know and we can chat on social media somewhere ❤️
@@hanagara1907 Thanks Hana! You’re so kind ❤️ My Instagram name is the same as my RUclips, if you’d like to follow me. I’d love to chat some more. Thank you for the recommendation also. :)
I know for a fact that I'm asexual but I never really questioned if I was aromantic. I've always liked the idea of love and romance seemed to be super appealing to me.
Until one day one of my close friends confessed to me and at first it was super nice but then I realized that I just liked the affection and didn't really have any romantic feelings towards him. And when I told him that I was super relieved and also got extremely quickly over it whereas he seemed to care much more, I felt very guilty. It's always that I like people and develop crushes but the more I get to know them the more I like them as "just friends". It's really confusing
This doesn't necessarily mean you're aromantic. You _might_ be. But if you were an alloromantic person you wouldn't necessarily feel romantic attraction for someone just because they confess having feelings for you. We don't choose who we feel attracted to, sexually or romantically. Have you ever had a crush?
@@reilithion that's what I'm questioning right now, I actually don't know
@@sigma.analysis Well, I wish you luck and self insight. At least enough to make you feel like you know yourself as much as you care to. ^_^
Sounds like frayromantic - maybe that's a term you might want to look into. ☺️
Thank you for the video! I'm a 40+ straight guy who just found out there's something called Aromantic and had my mind blown, because that's what I am! I just never had a word for it! Not sure how I feel about it though, it's like being color blind but with an emotion instead of a color. It sure would be cool to be able to have that emotion. But I don't know, I'm new to this and still figuring things out... Again, thank you.
Hello my lovely peeps! I'm going to be refilming and editing this video tomorrow because it has come to my attention that I didn't get the definition of aromantic correct. I just wanted to apologize and will be fixing my mistake as soon as I can!
I found out I was aro (and ace) reading Loveless! I researched it for a while and I found aegosexuality and aegoromanticism and I felt at home 💚💚
I've just found out about aegosexual!!!
Yeah it’s not very common, but I’m glad I found out it exists because I wasn’t sure if I was ace before, but now I’m much more comfortable with it and so happier 💚
@@roseforcatsandbooks sameee
I'm aego and I know several other aegos, so I think we are definitely not so rare among aces and aros! Also I loved Loveless - it felt like coming home, even though I knew beforehand I was aroace.
I feel this on a spiritual level. Loveless is just amazing and it helped me figure out I was aroace as well! Also just looked up aegoromantic and I might need to do a wee bit more research (just some casual questioning), but yeah...I can sorta relate.
i’m going through a little identity questioning and thus i have dug the goodness of the internet.
i had a random thought of “what if i’m asexual or aromantic? or both” because i never imagined myself having sex or being in a committed relationship. i am not sex or romance repulsed, in-fact i enjoy reading about it. i like holding hands or hugging friends. i like the idea of a romantic relationship, i think it’s great, i just don’t think i’d ever be in one because i don’t think i’m capable of loving someone like that. but still i’m confused because i’ve had a ton of crushes before. more possibility of me being in the ace spectrum bc it was never sexual attraction, just thought they were cute, which leads me to doubting the possibility of my aromaticism because can aros have crushes? although most of them are celebrities or fictional characters.
so i’m afraid i’m gaslighting myself into thinking that “this is just a phase” or “you’ll find someone later”. anyways, i hope i can put a name on what this is, the confusion isn’t cute.
Getting you! Finding 'your' label can be relieving. But if you can't seem to find yours - it's okay. Just live life your way. And if you stumble across a suiting label one day, that's fine. If you don't, that's fine, too. ☺️
Im currently exploring the idea that I'm Aromantic, although Im unsure wether the anxiety relationships give me are more from past trauma lots of reading and listenting to do, this video felt very validating, thank you
Hmmm...I realized that I was aro because of dreams. I didn't know that people had dreams about peeps that' they were attracted to romantically. I also realized I felt queer-platonic feelings for a friend and we're sorta in a qpr and it's pretty cool (I basically get hugs...because none of our other friends like hugs). I also realized after reading a bunch of romance stuff that I'd never thought of doing that with someone. I've never found anyone attractive like romantically as I have no clue what it's supposed to feel like and that was a sign. I also almost dated one of my friends, but then decided to end it within a few days and then we both realized that we're aro-spec, so yeah. I remember hating being called more than friends with someone and I just wanted to be friends (that was another sign..I mean I think most people would be excited, but I was just scared and full of dread and wanted to end it asap). So yeah that's how I realized I was aro.
On my snap I'm putting Aromantic daily reminders on my story! Today's was that all Aromantic people aren't asexual and are called Allo Aros. I can't wait to see this video. I'm not Aro but I'm Demiromantic so I'm on the spectrum 💚🖤💚
I wanna do a video on demiromantic too!
I knew I was ace before I read Loveless, but that book helped me realize I'm aro too. :)
I’ve been seeing that book a couple times in the comments maybe I should read it👀
Soooo.... I'm married and I love my husband, and we have a great friendship... I told my therapist there's sex and there's friendship, and she says what about romance? And I was like, so cuddling? Bc romance to me equals cuddling (physical stuff, and i dont really likes cuddling either). That was 3 hrs ago and here I am. Life's funny sometimes.
so excited to have seen this, i’m demi aro-ace and love learning so many things and hope to learn more from you lynn! :)
Awwwww I'm glad you liked it! Happy aro week
Can't wait! Wahoo ;>
I'm really proud of this one. Happy Aromantic Week!!
Thank you for the much-needed awareness!!!
i recently figured out i was aro/ace and its made me so happy!!! its so good to see other aro ppl too :]
i love your videos, so i was very excited to see that you posted! 💚🤍🖤
Awwwww thank you!! I hope you liked the video☺️
i know this is late but my specific aromatic identity is Idemromantic: Describes a person who does not internally experience romantic and platonic attraction differently. They distinguish between romantic and platonic based on other factors, such as age, personality compatibility, and ease of living together.
i think this explains my experience pretty well of the terms i have found
(they/them it/its)
I need to know what your ror2 main is lol! also amazing video
It’s interesting now that i learn about this because that’s how i felt before i met my current boyfriend. I did not like NOTHING romantic before him. I disliked the idea of being with someone like that but i would want to do the deed with them. But then i got with my boyfriend and I’m like i wanna do all the corny stuff i hated in the past. So thanks for the video !!
Tumblr also has a pretty decently sized aro community if anyone's looking!
ive known i was ace for awhile but recently ive been questioning if i was aro too.. ive never really had crushes and i find romantic gestures like i love you and holding hands and kissing super duper uncomfy, ive been mistaking platonic love as crushes recently and am in a 3+ year relationship, ive been researching non stop to make sure its not in my head but im scared to figure it out because i dont wanna hurt my current partner, even tho ik i wont rly mind not being in relationships anymore D:
I really don't like the generalized idea that the only true kind of love is romantic love. I've been told this today, and I feel so broken right now, as if the kind of love I give to the people I care about, my family and friends, is worth nothing, and as if the fact that I can't experience romantic love makes me less human.
Thanks so much for doing this. There's a lot of videos on asexuality but not a lot on the topic of aromanticism. My name's sofie (I'm bisexial I think) and have a crush on someone who is trying to figure out if they're aromanic (they know they're asexual). They're trying to figure out if they're capable of being in a relationship or not. I'm currently trying to figure out if I would be okay with receiving that type of love as well. I really love this person but at the same time I don't want to be unsatisfied and jump out of the relationship. I don't want to hurt them. I just don't know what to do. But at the same time they seem almost open to dating. Is romanticism a spectrum? Do you have any advice? Sorry, I'm new to your channel, are you aromantic too?
This feels like the kind of orientation plenty of people in the past could have had and we would have no idea
Why are those flags in the background upside down?
Was pretty sure i was aromantic but wasn't sure, until now, because i hadn't heard the communities language on it and didn't want to identify with a group i hadn't heard anything from.
Thanks for the tips ur sibling was very imformative. Does anyone know how to come out to their homophobic parents? Ive been aro for around 1-2 months and i havent came out to them yet, i made a lego with the colors of the aro flag and i set my wallpaper to aro colors ty :D
i really need help with this but basically i’m completely romance repulsed and i’ve been wondering if i’m aro for 3 years now. the thing is i fell in love with someone that was a very close friend of mine but we were never physical really and even while i was in love with him (i don’t think it was platonic) i couldn’t get myself to be in a romantic relationship. so i don’t know if this is even possible or if i just have some other unrelated issue. but it’s been so stressful for me to work out lately
It seems like you're talking about sensual attraction, you like the physical Touch and cuddles, and you could see yourself with them as partners, but there's no romantic attraction
Attraction can be: romantic, sexual, platonic (friends), sensual and aesthetic (they look nice). You can be with someone without romantic attraction. For example if there's sexual attraction you could be friends with benefits.
Or you could must be Demi, you're repulsed by it if you haven't created a strong relationship with them, and in this case you fell in love with someone close, so demiromantic is a possibility
I want a relationship but i dont feel all luvy duvy about it
Can someone help me? Or at least give me advice? I've been with my boyfriend for 8 months and he just left me not even a full week ago, and he came out as Aromantic. I fully support him and whatever he wants to do, because I love him, but he's kind of jumped to his best friend who is also Aromantic but it's a weird connection? Like, he'll say things on his socials like, "I love them more than anything." "Talking to someone dear to me
I'm trying to educate myself to try and get a better understanding but I'm starting to think maybe they'll be happier without me, but this is my first fucking relationship ahhhh
Soo a emotional eunuch ??
Your head is as empty as a eunuch's underpants.
