As an aroace I sometimes will look at fictional characters or an actual person and think "Woah, hey, they're pretty/handsome" and then I'll start to question if I'm actually aroace over one person... and I am.
Whenever I start to question it I will ask myself two questions: Would I wanna be romantically involved with them/would I want to be sexually involved with them? And my answer is always no. I just find them aesthetically pleasing
Now of course these questions may not work for every aroace person, but it works for me.
Basically this is post saying that if you're aroace and find someone you think looks nice, that doesn't mean you aren't aroace, you just think they're neat :]
