Romantic Attraction - Tumblr Posts
is this a sage place to admit i have no idea what the difference between a romantic relationship and a platonic relationship is
I need someone to do "Different types of attraction" 101 for me. But like, extreme dummy version. I tried to read and listen about it but I still have some trouble with it. What the hell is the difference between sexual, romantic and aesthetic attraction but on like, introspective? Definitions saying shit like "romantic attraction is when you want to form romantic relationship with someone" are not helping
Types of sexual and romantic attractions ^^ With love, Bi-Positive.
As the aro- if it’s happening to you, it feels like nausea.
But if it’s fictional romance, then butterflies in your stomach and squealing quietly in your room at 11pm at night because they finally held hands.
explain in the tags if you can obvi + feel free to specify if you're aspec! seeking out answers... reblog for reach...
Happy valentines day to all my fellow aromantics out there!!!!
Love isn't what makes us human
Romantic attraction isn't necessary to be a complete person
And most importantly: if you can eat chocolate it's going to be on sale soon
Have a bitchin' romance-free valentines day!!
Friendly Reminders for aro men (Valentine's Day Edition.)
I forgot about Valentine's Day, like a proper God-fearing Aromantic. Anyways, here's the Valentine's Day post for aro men-esp trans and non-binary men.
To aro men, esp trans aro men:
Friendly reminder that it's okay to spend Valentine's Day with your best friend even if amatonormativity tells you it's not. Nothing is romantic unless you want it to be.
Friendly reminder that, yes, it's okay to just want to get laid, no romo. You do not have to partake in romance if you do not want to.
Friendly reminder that you are not "emotionally unavailable" because you do not partake in romantic performance.
While we're on this note, friendly reminder, that even if you are emotionally unavailable, it's for you to decide how available you want to be, to who, and why. Amatonormativity has no place forcing you to be "open".
Friendly reminder that you don't have to hate Valentine's day or love it or like it. You can simply not care. Even if you are dating someone. Even if sometimes you feel romantic attraction. Even if you feel love.
Friendly reminder that you are not alone in the distinct sort of loneliness that sets upon us on the 14th of February. It's okay.
Friendly reminder that you can get flowers for yourself. And chocolates. They're supposed to be on sale but it's been a whole 3 days. Damn it.
Clarification on attraction!
This sounds fun, so I’m doing it, but don’t expect me to actually keep up with it with any level of consistency.
My pronouns: she/her
Pride flags: biromantic asexual (probably... I’m still questioning.)
Well, well, well, will you look at that? It’s Pride again.
You know the drill by now. It’s June 1, and suddenly everything from banks to big box stores has slapped a rainbow on their logo. Rainbow capitalism knows how to target LGBTQIA+ customers. For exactly 30 days of the year. How quaint.
Of course, it’s nice to make things bright, and colorful, and pretty. But it’s meaningless if that’s all it is.
Pride should be about uplifting and celebrating you, the community. And it should be year-round, not just 8.22% of the year. So, we’re signal-boosting your posts that celebrate, support, and honor all genders and sexualities over here. Follow to keep your dashboard lovely and gay as hell all year round.
And, yes, we’re also making a bit of a fuss right here on @celebrate (apparently, we just can’t help ourselves). So if you’re interested in talking about what Pride means to you or want to celebrate Pride but don’t know how to go about it this year, we made a fun little 30-day Share Your Pride Challenge list. Because you do, in fact, deserve to be celebrated.
Tag your posts with #ShareYourPride if you want to make them a little easier for other people to find. And Tumblr? Happy Pride. We’re glad you’re here.

Ok can we talk about how weird it is having a crush when you're demi/grayromantic? Like, I haven't had a genuine crush since like fucking 6th grade and now I'm a junior in high school absolutely smitten with a dude I've known for a year- what the fuck lmao
