I would just like to say.

mrmonochrome:

Queerplatonic friendships are not solely restricted to asexual individuals.

In fact, it doesn’t even make that much sense to say asexual rather than aromantic, where at least aromantic individuals may be more naturally inclined to pursue queerplatonic relationships. Aces have no obligation not to have a romantic relationship.

So why do people always assume that if you’re in a QP relationship or interested in one = you must be asexual? I’m not, thanks. There’s nothing wrong with being ace, but I’m not ace, and that’s that. And it’s a little disappointing that my fellow romantic sexuals can’t grasp the idea that a platonic relationship might be the most important one for someone even if they have the option of a romantic/sexual one.

Not exclusively aromantic, but important to remember. Also important to remember that many aromantics aren’t ace and many aces aren’t aromantic, so using them interchangeably is a bit of a misnomer.
