Before the story begins,let me explain what being aroace (Aromantic Asexual) means ; if you already know about it, you can skip this part.

Asexual:
Someone who experiences little to no sexual attraction to others.

Asexuality is a spectrum consisting of:
1. Asexual: experience absolutely no sexual attraction
2. Graysexual: experience sexual attraction very rarely
3. Demisexual: experience sexual attraction only after having an emotional bond with someone

Asexuality is not a choice just like any other sexual orientation.

Being asexual is a very subjective experience.

Asexual people have different attitudes to sex. Some are :
1. Sex-averse (don't want to have sex and may be repulsed by it)
2. Sex-indifferent (not actively wanting sex,but not against having it)
3. Sex-favourable (want to have sex and find it enjoyable even though they do not experience the attraction)

Aromantic
Someone who experiences little to no romantic attraction

Being Aromantic is not a choice.

It is also a spectrum consisting of:

1. Aromantic: experience absolutely no romantic attraction
2. Grayromantic: experience romantic attraction very rarely
3. Demiromantic:experience romantic attraction after having an emotional bond with someone

Aromantic people also have different attitudes towards to romance
1. Romance-averse (doesn't want to be in a romantic relationship and may be repulsed by it)
2. Romance-indifferent (not actively wanting romance, but not against it)
3. Romance-favourable (wants to be in a romantic relationship and enjoys it even though they do not feel the attraction)

Allosexual -someone who feels sexual attraction
Alloromantic -someone who feels romantic attraction

"Allo" is short for alloromantic/allosexual.

Some aromantic and/or asexual people want some sort of life partner; some don't.

Some asexual people are alloromantic. Some aromantic people are allosexual.

Some use the SAM (Split attraction model) to describe how they experience attraction whilst others don't.
