Hi! 

I'm new to Arospec. When I was a kid, I never experienced romantic attraction really up until the 6th Grade. In 5th Grade, I concluded that I was gay, but still had no idea as to how romantic relationships worked for me--as none of them around me really felt "me?" Regardless, after much thinking and a talk with a friend, I finally realized that sexuality and romanticism are two very different things. 

I took the AST and AIS-12, and as expected, I scored extremely low on the AIS-12 (I scored 14, and it's scored 12 through 60 for those wondering), which warranted the certain non-asexuality. However, my AST scores are shown above. I chose to go with the Gray tag because it felt the most fitting; however, I do typically just tell people I'm Aro, as I don't like explaining, and the umbrella term fits just as well as the gray area to those who have no business in my romantic life.

I was wondering if there's any sort of specific kind of term, support, or information I should be looking for? I had a conversation with another friend recently who got me to figure out my ideal relationship is a sort of "glorified friends-with-benefits," the kind of queerplatonic (I hope I used that term right) sexual relationship, and even to "be in love (?)" and marry and have children, but I genuienly cannot stand the 'lovey dovey' things and most PDA.

So, uh, thanks in advance, and I hope that this kind of helps me understand myself more. I really like these terms for self-fulfillment, it lets me know who I am, but I don't see much in expressing that towards others as much as some do, I guess?

New to Arospec, Kinda looking for who I am?
