Submitting because the ask box can’t hold this many words.

I used to think I was a very romantic asexual, but now I’m not so sure. I enjoy romance in fiction, and I get squishes often, but when I really think about the kind of relationship I want, it just doesn’t seem all that romantic. I’m curious about kisses, but that’s it. I don’t want makeouts on the beach or candlelit dinners or anything else romantic, I just want a really strong friendship. I guess the only difference between the kind of relationship I want and friendship is that a relationship requires a lot more commitment, which means I wouldn’t fade into the background and be forgotten like I usually am.

What’s your opinion on all this? Would you consider me a romantic with a modified definition of romance, or an aromantic who just wants to feel noticed? 

Alrighty, I am going to use this post as a shameless opportunity to flaunt one of my favorite terms ever: queerplatonic (x).

There is also a relatively new concept of WTFromantic (x) which is basically someone who doesn’t view romance in a traditional manner.
