Idk how helpful this is, but I'd basically describe it as "like being ace, but for romance". Personally, I've never had crushes, wanted to date people, etc. Idk there's a "like libido, but for romance", but if there is, I don't have one. Kissing people seems kinda weird and uncomfortable to me. I've heard that a lot of aro people don't like how romantic subplots are in every piece of media, although they don't bother me too much unless they're forced/badly written. I think about amatanormativity a lot, although that mostly started after I started identifying as aroace and learned the word amatanormativity. Uhh... I would've broken up this wall of text somewhat, but I didn't exactly have a coherent enough set of ideas to do paragraphs lol. Still, hopefully something in there helps. I'd also recommend checking out r/aromantic and r/aaro to see how much you identify with what people say there, if you haven't already. ...
