Alloromantics: what does being/falling in love feel like?

(for your amusement, I, an aro, tried to compile some symptoms, as follows:

- "I become very stupid every time this person is in the room and maybe I like it."

- "I desperately desire them to think I'm neat."

- Sometimes you contemplate them and feel a tender sensation in your chest! )

@Betty (am ace, am probably more aroish than your average jawn)

i would say my inclination for physical touch goes up by a bit and i’m more interested in having their undivided attention as well (as opposed to friends where just hanging out and chatting is good but not necessarily better than doing a thing together or hanging out as a group).

but obv close friendship also includes some aspects of both of those things (these days my best friend and i mostly communicate by having actual phone calls with eachother, crazy i know) so hard to say!
