Same. It took me so long to realize I was ace and aro because I get crushes on so many characters. But I've never had those feelings for a real person, and when a person has them for me, even if I like them as a friend and even when I've tried to figure out if they'd be one of my crushes if they were fictional and the answer was "probably," I still felt NOPE about them. It's completely different.
