aroace

Someone who is both aromantic and asexual, they have no romantic or sexual attraction to anyone

aroace people can still get into romantic/sexual relationships if it's what they wish, but most dont

a lot of people confuse aromantic to be a cold uncaring person, who feels nothing for nobody, but that is not the case. for aromantic people can feel platonic or aesthetic attraction

asexual is often dubbed down to "not wanting to have sex" or "never horny" but this is also wrong, asexual people can have sex and they can get horny, it doesn't make them any less asexual

both aromantic and asexual are spectrums, some orientations on these spectrums can be:
demiromantic: only experiences romantic attraction after a strong bond is formed
demisexual: only experiences sexual attraction after a strong bond is formed
greyromantic: experiences romantic attraction very rarely
greyasexual: experiences sexual attraction very rarely
aromantic: no romantic attraction
asexual: no sexual attraction

"hey man, I really like that girl over there, think I should ask her out?"
"I dont think so, shes aroace, so she's probably not interested in that sort of thing"
