I'm questioning quioromantic, and I was wondering if you could explain the difference in feeling between romantic/ strong platonic attraction? I'm legitimately lost and only have one relationship to go off of
Sorry, I don't apply the concept of platonic attraction to myself! You might be better off asking someone else.

For anyone who’s aspec and doesn’t know what term to use for someone they like because “I don’t know if it’s a crush or a squish or something else” then worry not and use my chosen term: POI which stands for Person Of Interest. It’s literally just someone you’re interested in in some way and I generally don’t specify which way I find them interesting because eh sometimes I don’t know and it’s easier to say POI. It also makes them sound like a murder suspect or something if you’re into that lol

I really need someone to sleep with. Like literally hold and sleep and wake up next to. I don't want to date you or anything. Just be a friend, be a roomie.
Let me listen to your voice, let me count your heartbeat and let us drift off oversharing.

how do you decipher
the differences and nuances
between friendship and love
platonic attraction or affection
how do you ask
someone to explain
their feelings for you
in a comprehensible way
without making things awkward
is it just too hard to say
'hey this is how i like you'
how do you want to engage?

personally i think being aromantic doesn’t erase the experience of having crushes because have you ever been so obsessed with someone? wanting to know their opinions on everything? have a debate? pick at each others brains? have you ever been so intrigued by someone?

Platonic attraction is so weird because listen you and I might only be level one acquaintances but I really want to randomly speed run to get to level 50 best friends and you have absolutely no idea I’m over here stressing about how to do that in the fastest way possible after you said “thank you” when I lent you a pencil

I kept seeing aros in a subreddit complaining that romance gets bashed and they feel wrong for liking it.
But nobody ever said everything about the community's obsession with platonic attraction but if someone ever said it, I bet the post would get deleted within minutes since mfs can't handle that not everyone's alloplatonic and tries to normalize couple things that shouldnt get platonized at all.

Sometimes I feel like I'm not aro enough because of how often I start questioning myself the moment I feel aesthetic attraction or anything that is not strictly platonic.
Remember that all this attraction and romance stuff is complicated and REALLY subjective. If you're aro, you're aro. Even when you think it's not "enough" 💚

you want to know what romantic attraction is? its a language thing. if there’s an intent to call something romantic then its romantic, likewise when it comes to platonic things. there is a different wavelength, but the only thing that differentiates the wavelengths it is the language used for them. i think this is important and needs to be everywhere.
