Some people are AROMANTIC! Here are signs that will tell if you are one
First and foremost, you need to understand the definition of aromantic. It’s a term that’s used to describe someone who experiences little to no romantic attraction. However, don’t mistake aromatic for being asexual. Those are two different terms even though they can often overlap. We’ve listed some common experiences that aromantics have
02/6You don’t relate to romantic books and movies
There are characters in movies and TV shows that fall in love with each other and you don’t understand how. Even when there are two characters falling in love in a book, you can’t understand the dynamics of it. It’s hard for you to believe that you can feel romance in your life or for that matter any kind of those feelings that show you love.
03/6You’ve pretended to have a crush on someone
Aromantic people tend to pretend that they’re romantic as that is normal behaviour. When people start to talk about their love life or the person they fancy, aromantic people also get into the spirit and make up an imaginary character they have a crush on.
04/6You’ve never felt butterflies in your stomach
You might have gotten butterflies before a big interview or your college exams. But when it comes to feeling butterflies for another person, it’s never happened to you. You might have even felt attracted to people but never experienced the tingling in the stomach when that person is around.
05/6You aren’t anything about Valentine’s Day
All the lovers out there look forward to this one day to express their love for their partner, more than the usual days. They plan surprises and make it romantic. But to romantic, you’re unaffected by this day. You don’t really have an intrinsic interest in any of the surprising, gifting and romantic dates. It isn’t something that appeals to you.
06/6You’re quite a dedicated friend
Aromantic people aren’t bad at dealing with people, it’s just that they don’t get drawn towards people in a romantic way. Aromantic people probably have closer friends and other people who really mean much to them. You empathize with parents, children and other people and that isn’t the same as feeling romantic.
