Hi everyone, Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week is February 18th - 24th, 2024. www.arospecweek.org/
"Aromantic describes someone who’s not romantically attracted to anyone/doesn’t want romantic relationships at all. Aromantic can also be used as an umbrella term for anyone who identifies along the aromantic spectrum."
There are many romantic identities just like sexual orientations. Romantic orientation is considered distinct from sexual orientation, which is who you’re sexually attracted to (though sexual orientation is often used to mean both romantic and sexual attractions). Simply put, romantic orientation is who you’re romantically attracted to.
And sometimes, people’s romantic orientation is different from their sexual orientation. You could be asexual and homoromantic, for instance, meaning that you experience little to no sexual attraction but are romantically interested in others of the same gender.
So do share your diverse experiences here and with each other because these matter; to extend our understandings and support for each other.

Questioning your romantic orientation? Switchboard is a great resource. You can visit their website or call at 0300 330 0630.
Got questions about asexuality and aromanticism or just need some support? AVEN (Asexuality Visibility & Education Network) has great resources and forums.
Best wishes
