im really upset that you are getting so much shit for this because i now realize how badly i needed a word to describe what i experience. i thought that since i discovered that im aromantic asexual that was all i needed, but there was still some part of me that was confused. ive always liked the idea of being in a relationship with someone, but every time ive had the opportunity i become completely repulsed. you helped me realize who i am and i am so greatful

Thanks

I'm so happy I found the term kalosromantic,,like I was just describing it the other day and I was like I think I'm aromantic or grey-aromantic but I didn't feel like I could legitimately claim those identities since I still want to date ppl and I said that and now I found this term and it literally describes me exactly and for the longest time I felt like something was wrong w me cus I just had nvr actually liked someone or gotten romantic crushes and now I found this term and I'm so excited!!!

I’m so glad this has been so helpful :)

Thank you so much for putting a name on my feelings and making me see that I'm not alone in feeling like this! I thought that was some kind of broken aro ace because even though I've never fallen in love or lust with anyone ever (I'm 27) I've always wanted to share my life romantically with someone and experience that emotional closeness that sex seems to bring. It made me feel a bit like I couldn't be an actual, true aro ace. So thank you for giving me a word that makes me feel like I belong <3

Yay! I’m so glad these words have been helpful :)

New words! Terms to describe some asexual and aromantic people.

OMG I have been needing these words. Yay!

Never say that you “don’t care” about a person’s orientation, gender, disabilities, illnesses, ethnicity, religion, or any other aspect of their identities

Because all of those things are inherently a part of that person and their identity and by “not caring” about those things you are saying that you don’t care about them as a person, and also erasing important aspects of them

"Not caring" is not the same as being accepting, and it is certainly not respectful

Kalosromantic: desiring a romantic relationship but never feeling romantic attraction…

You can have a sex drive but never experience sexual attraction. You can have romantic desires but never feel romantic attraction.
