Help me understand the aromantic spectrum
Post Body

I've been in relationships, enjoyed them?? i guess?? my shortest one was about 2 weeks and my longest one would be 8 months. I have been single since October last year; It was a messy breakup but i moved on.

I tried dating again, i still feel butterflies in my stomach from time to time but something clicked and i keep getting this feeling that I'm okay with not being in a relationship. I do find romantic actions and similar things cute, but I'm not seeking the feeling that it gives. i don't see myself with the people i went on dates with nor with the ones that i know personally. it's like I'm not attracted to them nor to anyone anymore???

I also often find myself "turned off" if one doesn't provide me with the "relationship" that i had in mind which causes me to lose feelings almost immediately the moment i realize that the relationship that I'm in is imperfect just like others (even though it's normal)

The questioning comes here: I used to daydream a lot about going out with my crushes, having relationships, but i just don't feel that anymore? if anything, i was uncomfortable in most of my relationships.. The 8-month relationship only lasted because we were LDR and weren't really that intimate when it comes to showing our faces and whatnots. I feel like that lasted because i knew we won't be able to meet each other.

I'm just unsure and confused. I've had crushes and relationships but why do i feel like this?? am i a part of the aromantic spectrum? or could it just be that it was a bad breakup and i found solace in being single too much?
