5 Obvious Signs I Didn’t Know Were Demiromantic

[@eccod]

I’m exploring this identity right now. I’m 38, and I’ve never wanted to settle down either. I enjoy the closeness a relationship brings, I just have zero desire to ride the relationship escalator. This has been a real problem when they inevitably get impatient because “this isn’t going anywhere”. Like… why does it have to “go” somewhere? Why can’t we just enjoy each other’s company?

I'm pretty sure I'm both demiromantic and demisexual, making me demiaroace and a disaster at relationships cause they always want to stay as friends :]

I get "crushes" but not like others... I just like their appearances... Which hurts...

This was super helpful. I've always felt a bit confused about my sexualiy. I know I'm a lesbian and I experience sexual attraction but I don't really get crushes on people until after we've been friends for a while. I think I might actually be demiromantic

Love this. I discovered this identity a few months ago and i definitely relate to it

I used to identify as pan demisexual, and maybe I have been demisexual in the past, but now I realized I might be aegosexual demi(pan)romantic, since I can enjoy and get aroused by adult content and fantasies about people, but I dont enjoy to be together with someone sexualy and I dont have sexual attractions, and I only get romantic feelings for people I have an emotional bond with and that can be with any sex or gender.

My question, did you feel like you can only connect when you have that emotional connection and you don't like sustaining conversation online, or try to have that connection? I newer lasted on dating apps or chats for long, becouse I don't felt anything to these foreign people and I can feel strong atraction if the emotional part is met, I even had this idk sexual/emotional atraction when we talked online, but when we met in real life it was cold and something wasn't right. I have deep desire to connect with someone(mainly when I have those times when I feel lonely), but newer had that oportunity to be with someone and idk if that will ever happen.
