Re: Am I the only one here who believes biromantic is a thing that exists?

If I use love to mean how much I love certain friends, then I'm pretty romantically asexual about them. But that's not the case at all, because we're attaching different connotations to romance. My snowflake labels that help me explain things is absolutelyaromantic bi/pan/wevssexual. obviously i don't exactly have a stake in saying biromantic isn't a thing

You mentioned earlier that there's overlap between romance and friendship. That's actually entirely fair, and not surprising (a lot of folk view their partner as a friend). But then applying that as if it's true for everyone is where it gets rather skeezy (a lot of folk don't initially view their partner as a friend). It's very personal and based on their intuition if they're separating the two, so why it has to make sense in technical terms seems off to me.

For some aromantic example I guess,... which is actually very irrelevant now that I think about it. Shit.

Anywho, I have a girlfriend (who's poly and married), but our relationship is closer to exclusive fwb if I have to be colloquially technical. Speaking for myself here, romantic relationships involve a specific need for partnership (or unit whatever), compromise, and emotional exclusivity. I have issues that definitely factor into it, but I just don't feel that way about people, much less about throwing that on one person much less on me. Sex on the other hand? Pretty basic and physical for me, and it's a bonus for everyone if the company is also enjoyable. At the same time, I'm just wired to be less sexually attracted to someone the closer I get. Maybe I will want to settle down in the future, but that also doesn't mean I'm going to pork the few people I trust enough to do that with.
