How Do I Politely Tell Someone That Im Aroace?

How do I politely tell someone that I’m aroace?

There’s this guy in my class that has a crush on me. (There are very obvious signs and I’ve heard his friends talking about how he likes me). I’m friends with this guy and I value his friendship dearly, so I want to be as nice as possible. I really hate to let anyone, especially such a dear friend, down, but I just can’t stand the idea of me being in a romantic and/or sexual relationship.

Do I wait until he confesses that he likes me and then let him down?? Do I casually mention it in a conversation and let him figure it out?? Do I just…not tell him?? I don’t know what to do!! Does anyone have any advice, please?!

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH!

To all the lesbians, gays, trans, bi’s, the aros, the aces, and to all those who are still figuring it out, (and anything I didn’t include) I hope that you take advantage of this month where we grow 90% stronger (99% if with other members or allies) and live your best pride life and reject the homophobes. Remember that if you think no one else loves you, that I do (platonically) and I’m sure that there are many other individuals who do.

Be safe and remember that no one can tell you who you are and what you like. Now go on and live your best Pride Life!

I’m just about to come out to my parents. I said (posted) earlier that I already told them I was Ace, but I feel like they kinda forgot about it. Plus, this time, I’m going to come out as AroAce and genderfluid. (I know I said I was demifluid, but I realizes otherwise.) Hope and pray for me. I’m pretty sure they’ll accept me (at least the AroAce part), but I don’t know about the Gender-fluid part. They’ve made some transphobic remarks before, so I’m super effin’ nervous. I’ll update later on, after I come out.

Okay, I’m sorry (not really), but as a genderfluid person, I believe it is necessary to change the flag. I mean, LOOK AT IT!

The colors are okay, but they’re put in a horrendous order (at least in my opinion). I have NO artistic skill, but can somebody who does PLEASE make another version of this flag?

When I first get into a ship or fandom, I get really invested for the first couple of days (or sometimes weeks). Like, the only think I can think about is that ship or fandom. I’ll be up at 1:38am trying to find a 500k fic to tickle my traumatized brain. Then, suddenly, I’ll randomly lose most if my interest in it like Thanos was resurrected and did his whole “I am inevitable” snap thingy but only with me and my ships. Then, a couple of weeks (and sometimes moths or even years) later, I’ll just have the sudden urge to read a 100k Royalty AU of whatever it was I was originally interested in and the cycle will start again.

It’s like I was in a QPR (or Straight-PR I guess in some cases) with all the other people interested in the same thing but then we went through a gut-wrenching, tear-jerking, betrayal-filled divorce and now we have joint custody over our child. The child, of course, being the think that I’m enamored with when it randomly strikes my “Aww, look at this cute little thing. How can I traumatize it?” nerve that I still love when gone but it’s no longer my priority.

You know the “man vs bear” debate going on right now where men ask women if they would rather be stuck in the woods with a random guy or a bear? I would honestly choose the bear. It’s not like I hate men or anything, but…the bear’s going to be in the forest anyways. That’s kinda where they live. I’d rather be in a forest with a bear that’s going to be there anyways than with a random dude that’ll just be kinda annoying. Not to mention, living in a forest by myself and hunting animals literally sounds like something out of a sick fantasy book and would be my dream. (Though I could probably never accomplish that due to my fear of bugs).
