- Hand holding (mostly, can be platonic)
- Cuddling (mostly, can be platonic)
- Sex (mostly, can be platonic... though I admit it usually isn't.)
- Getting married (yeah okay this is pretty much romantic unless it isn't.)
- Talk about ~feelings~ (bffs do this all the time)
- Exchange gifts (what the hell is a romantic gift anyway, I buy flowers for my mom and that is not romantic that is platonic stupid stupid stupid)
- Be there to support one another (duh)
- ~soul connections~
- ~love at first sight~
- ~one true love~
- ~looking into other people's eyes and seeing what they are feeling dude body language cannot be read in people's pupil dilations what the hell. except maybe for if they are aroused. but then again their pupils could be blown because of a natural response to a lack of light because you are leaning in waaaaay too close.~
- As an extension of the above, kissing with your eyes open.
- The whole "this other person is the center of my whole universe and I do everything for them" thing. It might work for some people, but not for me, because-
- The idea that sex or romantic relations make two people somehow into one whole. what. Just because they are together does not mean they are the same person. They prefer different things and think different things and have had different lives, even if they happen to live together now.
Things I know I am:
- Pansexual, tending towards feminine pronouns
- Cisgender
- Asexual
- Heterosexual
- Homosexual
- And frankly I'm pretty sure bisexual is a misnomer, mostly. Though I wouldn't know, not being a bisexual.
- Aromantic. Maybe. I sure read a lot of schmoopy fanfic for an aromantic, if that's the case. Which I think it isn't.
- Bad at understanding other people. I always have been, and frankly most people don't help with this at all, what with their daring to have mainstream interests....
