Anonymous asked: I'm pretty sure I'm ace and aro but I was wondering if my squishes are abnormal... Sometimes they last over a year or 2 and for some of them I get obsessed. For example, there's a girl I like atm. I'm always trying to impress her and I really want her to like me and for us to be good friends but I know we wouldn't be compatible as girlfriends. I also get really sad when she's not interested in me, sorta like how romantics get "heartbroken". But tbh I don't really care about her happiness y'know?

Definitely intense squishes are a thing! I’ve had a few myself. I think squishes, just like crushes, range from “passing interest” all the way up to “intense”.
