Am I aromantic or not?
I’m 17 and I’ve never really been in love. I’ve felt attracted to people’s appearances before, but usually that feeling fades after a few days. And if someone flirts with me, I don’t realise they’re flirting. Because of this, I ended up going out with someone by mistake; it was only when they asked me out that I realised we were flirting, but I wasn’t in love with him. To me, he was just a friend, but I didn’t want to end our friendship , so I accepted. The relationship lasted a month; during that month, we were colder towards each other than ever before, and my ‘boyfriend’ said I’d been very rude to him. In the end, I broke up with him because being in a relationship felt like a burden on my shoulders. Now, whilst my peers are suffering from heartbreak, I haven’t even been able to fall in love with anyone, and even when my friends talk about the time they spend with their boyfriends, it makes me feel sick. Idk if I'm too young to decide this.
