Aromantic Day Quotes

This was another thing Vale’s mother never understood: Vale was aro-ace, both aromantic and asexual. She’d told her parents she just wasn’t interested in dating any number of times… But they never seemed to get it. To them, Vale’s sexuality was a ‘phase’ that they were certain she would one day outgrow. Their obliviousness was a raw spot for Vale.

And I was also terrified. I mean, that wasn't me. Asexual. Aromantic. I still wanted to have sex with someone, eventually. Once I found someone I actually liked. Just because I'd never liked anyone didn't mean I never would...did it? And I wanted to fall in love. I really, really did. I definitely would some day. So that couldn't be me. I didn't want that to be me. Fuck. I didn't know.

The long and short of it was, though Ingrid’s patience for romance was thin on the best of days, she knew her capacity for it was not limited by gender. She’d thought it didn’t matter. She was with Linden. There was no reason to ever acknowledge or indulge that part of herself. But now, as the realization of Gwendolyn Meyers’s identity washed over her, she knew how very neglected she’d left it. No matter who she was with or what gender they were, it was still part of her.

But it didn’t seem to matter what I did. She still wasn’t giving me the time of day. She kept rejecting me. Then she told me she was aromantic, and I didn’t know what the word meant. I had to look it up. But I saw it for the excuse it was. She just didn’t want to be in a relationship with me, for whatever reason, and that was her go-to. She didn’t see how perfect we were for each other; otherwise, she’d never have said that to me.” No, moron, she was really aromantic. Asexual, too. Wow, this man was past all saving.
