Yeah, there's no reason to announce to anyone other than another asexual that you're aromatic or romantic. That's just weird and should be just to let other asexual people that you're open to an emotional relationship.

The only time I really let people know IRL is usually when a male friend tests the water. It ends that conversation really fast.

The rest of the words are just tumblr mouth diarrhea. Everyone gets a symbol, a flag, a trophy to declare how different they are....

Isn't aromantic asexual relationship...is just friendship?

No, aromantic means you don't want a close relationship. Asexuals that pair off are called romantic asexuals. :)

Friendship is close but not romantic relationship.

I don't get what you're asking or not understanding.

Paired off asexuals are called romantic asexuals. It insinuates a close emotional bond deeper than a friendship but not sexual.

I called aromantic asexuals, not romantic ones, thought.
