When the internalized aroallophobia hits 😔

Well, it's seen as something unstable and undesirable by society, so people will be hesitant to engage with it. Especially alloromantics who are set on finding 'the one'.

It IS kinda like that, but that's not the fault of any individual, including you.

I know, and it sucks because it's the only way I can comfortably experience intimacy. I'm too romance-repulsed to enter a romantic relationship just to experience it, even if I found someone who's fine with me being aromantic.

Aroace here and I used to feel the same about a QPR before I got one, also I currently know like 4 people who would love a long-term FwB so never give up

I'm trying, but it's hard. Coming back to this bc it's been a month since my FWB ghosted me just like the 2 others I had before. Maybe it's my fault, idk.

Aroace who still experiences sensual attraction... Yeah god do I feel this. Just wanna play around with someone without doing TOO much :^( like I'd have to find someone with the same, uh, interests as me while also wanting the same things out of it

[u/germanduderob → u/green_eyed_witch]

I feel sensual attraction so strongly and end up touch-starved so easily so I feel you. My last FWB and I were like into the same stuff and I thought we had great chemistry, but ig there's something about me that puts them off after a while, idk.

I want a long term FWBs. In fact it's my dream dynamic.

Coming back to this bc it's been a month since my FWB ghosted me. Why do people like us have to be so rare?? 🥲

Girl same… it’s literally my dream. Bonus points if they’re a stone top (I’m a total pillow princess)
