Aromanticism refers to experiencing little to no romantic attraction to others. People who identify as aromantic may have little interest in romantic relationships or may not desire romantic involvement at all. Aromanticism exists on a spectrum, referred to as the aromantic-spectrum or the “aro-spec.”
For many aromantic individuals, the concept of romance is puzzling. They often do not understand or relate to the purpose and appeal of “romantically-coded” activities such as kissing and dating. Societal norms around romance can feel alien or unnecessary for some, while romance may be aversive to others.
Some aromantic individuals also view their identity as a rejection of traditional societal constructs of romance and relationships. Amatonormativity—the societal expectation that everyone desires romantic love and that romantic relationships are superior to other forms of relationships—fuels much of the stigma against aromantic people.
