i'm aromantic oops
i did date a little while in my teens though. i'd say it's 100% personality for me. i preferred my exes when they were my friends, but all my relationships had rough endings so none of them stayed my friends. i never like. loved them in a way i imagine """normal""" ppl do. on my side it was like an extension to the friendship, like we'd kiss and stuff, but my exes seemed to want more than that on an emotional level. it felt like each time i entered a relationship, the other person changed entirely. suddenly got so obsessed and demanded more attention and it felt like we could no longer just hang out the way we did as friends. it's possible i just ended up with assholes though... one of them at least confirmedly as they launched this whole "he's faking being a guy" kinda deal. on gsm 1.0 of all places lmaooo it was ridiculous
as for like the whole point of this thread i guess - we had same interests and that was about it. liking same comic book characters and being able to talk about them for hours. looks nor gender mattered. tho i am partial to masc/andro presenting ppl. being an asshole to other ppl is a major turn-off. catching my exes talking transphobic shit behind my back was what ended most of my relationships
