Hi, I wanted to get yall's input/advice on queer platonic relationships (qpr's) cause I'm a kinda a baby aroace (only known + been out for a year or two). But, I'm interested in that kind of relationship but don't know how to go about finding a relationship like that so if any of yall are aroace or have been in a qpr that can give me pointers that would mean the world to me

I have 0 advice how to do this tho

If you had been just aro i would've said "get on tinder to find a sex friend and then hope for the best" no clue how well that works but it might be my future plan ahahah

Maybe there is a somewhat local lgbt meet up who also has aroace members? Or some kind of local online community? But I understand if OP doesn't want to search a partner like that. But once you are even a bit different, meeting someone in an organic way is significantly more different.
