23FI'm beginning to worry if I'm aromantic or something because dozens of men and a few women have fallen in love with me but I didn't feel anything for beginning to worry if I'm aromantic or something because dozens of men and a few women have fallen in love with me but I didn't feel anything for them, besides friendship sometimes. How do I know if I'm aromantic or just picky and soulmate-brained?
you have a guarded heart <333

>>34579600>How do I know if I'm aromantic or just picky and soulmate-brained?Do you ever remember liking someone or fantasying having a relationship with them? When you were a kid, did you have any crush on any of your peers?
>>34579884There's been fictional characters I would gladly date. I've had maybe a dozen crushes on irl people but I didn't date any of them because my feelings weren't strong enough. I want to be with someone that I love so much that I know I'll want to be with them forever and couldn't imagine wanting to be with anyone else more. I view relationships as being forever, I don't do anything that I wouldn't wish to be eternal.

And as for the fictional characters, which ones were they?
>>34579895You sound like someone who won't commit for fear of getting hurt. Having a crush on someone fictional is very safe: they can't reject you or break up with you.
>>34579979>Speaking of the real people, were they people you were close to, friends you spoke with on a daily basis, or people you admired from afar?All three. My deepest crushes were on close friends, but not deep enough for me to actually want to be with them. I don't tell anyone if I have a crush on them if I'm not willing to date them, so my mild feelings are kept secret. Some of those people actually did have feelings for me and asked me out but I pretended my feelings were completely platonic to keep things simple. >And as for the fictional characters, which ones were they?Tomoya from Clannad, Lelouch from Code Geass, Leogshi from Beastars, Ranma from Ranma 1/2, Gojo from Sono Bisque Doll, Lawrence from Spice and Wolf, Chiyo Sakura from Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun. I would give my heart to them all.>>34580630Their feelings for me were genuinely unrequited so that's not pathological, but I would find commitment scary. It's so rare for me to have romantic feelings for anyone that if I did date someone, I'd be scared of never being able to find anyone again if the relationship ended.
>>34579600I was this way and then I find a girl I liked and it absolutely ruined me after we broke up.
>>34580675Honestly, I think you are not aromantic, but I do not have advice to give you, maybe some inner work will do...

>>34583193What?
>>34579600You are retarded and useless for society, I know girls like you. You can make great friends, amazing passionate hobbyists, but absolutely retarded when it comes to making any connection outside what you're obsessed with.And romantic connection, what's that? I only know friend. Friend is where I'm comfortable. Everyone is categorized as friend. Ew I wouldn't even think of having sex. Then some of those girls have sex anyway but on their own terms with very infrequent givings. Essentially retarded and useless because you can't make one man happy in this world. Instead you make friends very happy to have you around and you're probably happy to have them around, but you'll never reach this elevated level of happiness. It sucks because I don't know what to tell you. You're one of my best friends, you're also the type of girl I most often match with on dating apps (because dating apps only give you the lowest ranked profiles to match with as a non Chad male, and your asexual demi romantic ass is not desirable), it sucks for me. I started skipping on girls who have asexual, demi romantic, any sort of gray area sexual. And still even through that, I get girls who are fat, autistic/ADHD, unknowingly asexual/demi romantic/emotionally stunted.What kinda fucked up attention are you seeking here? There's no advice for you here. Go into your safe space with your other weirdos and live and love in the real world and leave us incels alone. God, finding a normal woman is hard enough already, I don't need you here bragging about how good you have itOhh I have so many suitors!! And I give them nothing!! I'm attractive look at me!! Woe is me!!
