What am I: Aro/DemiRomantic/something else?

tldr: Socially awkward asexual guy wondering what flavor of aro/romantic I am. The long post adds some necessary context about my life

I'm 27M, asexual. Never had crushes in life and feel awkward around opposite gender(any girl unless it's an old woman), have only had 1 incident in my life where I felt some spark with a girl for a day but I kind of killed it by not thinking about it due to religious reasons.

These look like signs of aro

Yet I love romantic movies and I want something like that in my life. I'm not happy being lonely. When I watch any romance in real life, I wish for someone like that for me in real life. Have never dated but I fear I'll be very awkward cause I'm so bad with eye contact with the opposite gender and being asexual, it doesn't even do things to me that others would experience. All in all, it's a stressful experience

I'm generally socially awkward around everyone, just gets much worse around girls. During my undergrad, I would even try to avoid situations where I would have to interact with girls

When I was young, I would be shy around female cousins when they visited and it took me a while for me to warm up and start getting comfortable around them. I even felt like kissing a cousin my age when I was 14. Which makes me think I could be demiromantic but is 27 too late for someone to be demiromantic and not know?

Thanks for reading
