Am I actually aromantic?

Questioning

I have labeled myself as aromantic for about 2 years now, and i find it comfortable having that lable but recently since the pandemic is now over and that i am now able to see other people and interact with them it's starting to make me question if i really am aromantic.

Where i live, love is very prominant and you can hear people talk about love and romance pretty often.

Meeting up with friends in person since I discovered that i was aromantic in the middle of the pandemic was a unique experience to say the least.

Since I learned that I was aromantic I began to look at others differently, seeing if I actually have feeling for them or that it was just some momentary thoughts that i believed was catching feeling.

For example. Meeting up with a friend after a long time and feeling like i have feeling for them but I didn't do anything to advance those feelings and I just waited if it was real.

And after some time those feelings went away, I still talk to them but after that momentary thought of having a crush on them and then that feeling going away made me wonder if I really am aromantic.

I do find some people attractive to some degree but those are few and fat between, and I just acknowledge them and move on.

Am I actually aromantic even if I get that momentary feeling of what I presumed to be a crush?

PS: This is my first post, Im still new to posting.
