A vent from earlier today from a recent situation. I'm aromantic and my friend loved me, yet I could not give her what she needed. We tried dating knowing it might not work... I was hoping I would feel romantic in any small way for her. I hate being like this sometimes.. In a way I wish I could love someone in that way, and cuddle up to them give them a kiss on the cheek and feel good about it. I've tried dating and tried finding those feelings towards others before. If there was anyone that I could have had that with... It would have been her. I talked to her and we broke up still being friends and still supporting eachother. Shes the best friend anyone can ever ask for and I hope she'll find someone one day that will cuddle her when she feels lonely and kiss her goodnight. <>

It's really jarring to read your side. I mean in short. I'm on her "side" of things. my Ex broke up with me because he's gay. (He's currently with this new guy... but that's another story...)
I can't say anything for her but if I was her. I could say your support means more then anything.

I'm sorry that happened to you. We went into this with no lies or surprises. Luckily before the relationship I told her that I was Aromantic and she understood that it might not work, we were both hoping it would work out though, because I do love her and she does love me.. Yet I just can't give her what she wanted, and she knew I was uncomfortable trying to be cuddly. I tried my best to make it work out in her favor. We've been best friends for years and have been each others therapeutic support, we know so much about each other.. As for sides of things on your end, I can't say I'd ever pick a side because each person is entitled their own experience and feelings and without full knowledge of the situation and how hard it is for either party, I could never fully justify a side. These things are never white or black. I understand if he kinda just surprised you with the given information that he was gay and was never open about it to you before, and that is why I would more than likely take your side. You must understand there is more to this than what I've told you. Between me and my friend she knew very well it might not work and knew I was uncomfortable, yet kept pushing me out of my comfort zone in an attempt to try and make it work, and that's why I had to tell her before it ever got too far. She understood me and where I was coming from and I understood her and where she was coming from. Of coarse there is more to the story than you know, yet this is getting really difficult to talk about. I'm sorry for what happened to you, yet I gather our situations are different in other ways. I just found out I may never find anyone to love because of who I am.. and she thinks it's hopeless to find someone to cuddle and love her. No matter how you see it we are both hurting regardless.
Anyways thanks, and sorry if I sound bitter in this, that is not my intention.

OooooOOOOooooOOOOOH!!! Noooooooooooo no no no it's alright! I'm not upset or anything, I'm sorry I mistook what you said. In no way was I offended by what you said, just a bit confused as to the whole sides thing. I didn't know you were talking about relating your feelings. It's been a very sore subject and my thinking is everywhere. Oh gees I'm so so sorry.. ( °~°)
ahhhhh it's okay dear. It clearly is and I have not been 100% my self ;_; I am so bad I just assume I've done something horribly wrong all the time. I worried I didn't explain too much ahh.
*HUG* ITS HUG tiMe OKAY. YEP. xD
I have to say and just feel free to shoo me away but. Aromantic is so strange to me? Like don't get me wrong I 100% believe you. I am sadly someone who NEEDS a romantic connection to someone. (Mate for life kind of thing.) It's like... can we like half trade? xD I want to be Less romantic and you've said sometimes you wish you could be more romantic.
man dude. Mortals are fucking weird. xD Lets just fuck all of it and become gods. Yeess

Hah ha your comment just made my day~ I totally get ya, I always think I explain too much or too little. Cx
*Bear Hug* YES IT'S HUG TIME~!
Yeah, it's like I understand romance and why one would want and need it and how it must feel. It's so weird to tell people I don't have romantic feelings or it's incredibly uncomfortable. I know it's hard for others to understand since it's like 1% of the population though. I know I can live with it in the long run. Yet if we could trade a bit from each other that would be perfect~ Damn us strange mortals and our weird needs!!! Let's be all powerful dimensional beings instead and rule like... The 23 dimension or something! ;U
