I Think Part Of The Reason Why Roberto Is An Underrated Bmp Character Is Because Of The General Frustration

I think part of the reason why roberto is an underrated bmp character is because of the general frustration with his main route. However, he redeemed himself in his sequels, and his chemistry with his MC is something worth commending because she's everything Roberto needs for stability. His princess sequel made me believe that they have been in a secure marriage for quite some time. They are such an old married couple in their route. The others gave me 'honeymoon stage' feels imo.

I….suppose. I mean, no one likes to get friend-zoned, but as I understand it, when I think of Roberto’s main, I think of two important quotes: “Love is friendship set on fire” and “Friends make the best lovers.” As sucky as it is, Roberto and MC (in both GREE and non-GREE) are friends first before their lovers. I think that, in part, is what contributes to them being so perfect together. They know each other’s strengths and weaknesses and are comfortable enough with each other to make that transition without too much awkwardness. Literally, Roberto and his MC have only had one fight. ONE. Out of all six princes, Roberto and his MC have only had one fight. That’s pretty damn impressive. I think their honeymoon stage was when they first started dating to be completely honest. So that, by the time the princess sequel comes around, they’re already in that “old married couple” stage. I think they can literally finish each other’s sentences and have that kind of telepathic relationship most people don’t have.

If I were to have any kind of relationship with a boy, I’d want it to be like Roberto and his MC’s.

So my friends know I'm asexual and I've tried to explain to them I'm not only asexual but Biromantic as well but they don't seem to get it. I often talk about dating someone or getting married but their response is always, but you can't your asexual. How do I explain to them that just because I don't feel sexual attraction doesn't mean I don't feel romantic attraction? It's really starting to get to me that they don't understand.

Ask them why. It’s going to be easier to talk to them if you have specific points to rebuff. So, ask why they think you can’t be in a relationship because you’re asexual, and then answer. Here’s a few possibilities:

“You can’t be in a relationship without sex.” - Sex doesn’t make a relationship good. Good relationships require honesty, communication, compassion, etc - not sex. Sex is not mandatory in relationships. It’s an activity some people like to have as a part of their relationships, but not required. Sex is not romance and it is not love. A good relationship involves exactly as much sex as the people in it want - which means that if one person in the relationship doesn’t want sex, then sex is not a part of that relationship. 

“Being asexual means you don’t want to date.”  - Sexual attraction isn’t romantic attraction. Sexual attraction is “I want to have sex with you” and romantic attraction is “I want to date you.” You can feel one without the other and you can date without sex being a thing. 

“No one will want to be with you if you don’t have sex” or “Your partner will leave you if you don’t have sex with them” - Good. Those people are bad partners for an asexual who doesn’t want sex. A good partner is someone who puts your comfort ahead of their libido and respects your boundaries. Anyone who puts sex ahead of your boundaries and comfort is not a good fit. 

Just some ideas.

A little something I wrote for my Valentine, Michael Faudet ♥ 

What are some major red flags for you when it comes to guys?

Boys who don’t let you talk to or be friends with other boysBoys who make you feel bad about your body or expect you to change itBoys who have nothing but “crazy exes”“You’re not like other girls”Boys who use you for sexual or emotional gratification but shy away from the idea of actually dating you (obviously not applicable to a situation where a mutual friends-with-benefits deal has been struck and both parties are on the same page about what they want)Boys who call women sluts/whores/easy/etc for any reasonBoys who brag about how “tight” some girl he slept with was (time for a crash-course in sexuality from Dr. Ashe–vaginas relax, elongate, and lubricate when aroused. If an individual with a vulva was “soooo tight, dude” that’s because they WEREN’T AROUSED and YOU’RE BAD AT THE SEX THING)

there are at least a dozen more things I could probably put on this list, but those are the big ones that came to mind immediately

To some it might’ve seemed callous, the way she boxed up her pain and set it aside, but I knew her well enough now to understand. She had a heart the size of France, and the lucky few whom she loved with it were loved with every square inch—but its size made it dangerous, too. If she let it feel everything, she’d be wrecked. So she had to tame it, shush it, shut it up. Float the worst pains off to an island that was quickly filling with them, where she would go to live one day.
