I really thought I was aroace. Specifically anti-romantic and anti-sexual. But that changed when my friend admitted to me that he had a crush on me. The crush became mutual on my part. We’ve kissed. We even made out with our shirts off. Making out with our shirts off was so exciting.
I’m confused about my identity now. If it weren’t for him, I would have never dated. But I’m still scared to have sex with him..
Hello! If you want to look into labels, you can search for recipromantic (only feeling romantic attraction if someone is attracted to you). You can also look into labels like greyromantic or demiromantic.
Yeah, I guess it threw you off to suddenly feel and enjoy these things. It's ok. I think it's normal to be scared to have sex, especially if it's your first time. Don't pressure yourself too much. You can take your time to understand how you feel and what you want, more than actually finding a label. You can communicate with your friend about it if you want.
I hope everything goes well 😊
