An aromantic person is someone who has little to no romantic attraction to others. Here, we share the signs that someone might be aromantic, the aromantic spectrum, and how to support aromantic people.
As someone who's aromantic, you might love someone in a platonic sense but not romantically. Queen explains that aro folks can have very close and loving relationships that are based on ties of friendship rather than romance—platonic love, as the Greeks would have it.Queen notes that romance isn't a requirement for erotic love. As such, you may experience feelings of love for another person that are rooted in sexual attraction but not romance.
A person may describe themselves as"aro ace" if they do identify as both aromantic and asexual, but these two identities can also show up distinctly and separate for a person, says Queen. Additionally, an aro person can be gay, straight, bi, or any other sexual identity, as well as trans, nonbinary, or any kind of gender identity. These are separate spectrums, so there can be overlap of many kinds, Queen adds. It's not uncommon for aromantic people to choose not to date at all because romance isn't a priority. However, some aro people do choose to enter partnerships, have kids, and have a family. For the ones who do date, they may fall into different categories.
As for the aromantics who aren't into dating, they"may be ace enough not to be interested in dating but would rather form platonic connections; might want to raise kids but do it with a relative as a blended family, not in the context of a moreQueen also encourages people who identify as aromantic to always stand up for themselves. If someone is pressuring you, don't be afraid to set boundaries.
