[ask-me-about-aros]

hey there, I'm looking some advice to deal with a situation I guess, so I'm a young adult, aroace, I recently joined a local drama group, and I think one of the kids has a crush on me, it's makes me super uncomfortable, they keep staring at me, and I don't know how to deal with it. I wish they'd leave me alone, but I'm bad at social stuff and it's so awkward. Any advice? Or reassurance that I'm not alone? Idk, I just wanna enjoy the drama group without the awkwardness

First of all, I am so sorry that this drama group is being made uncomfortable by this person. That really sucks, and I hope you can figure out something to make it less awkward and more fun for you, whether that’s with something I recommend or with something else you come up with. I have anxiety so I probably won’t have any particularly new or even very good advice, but either way I want you to know that you aren’t alone. If you’d like, I can talk about the one and only time I dated someone, for similar reasons (I do not recommend this).

I think the most efficient method would be to talk to them. This does not make it easy or surefire, just the simplest. Talking to them would let you lay out your half of the story and maybe get them to stop, although of course that could go badly if they’re not… great. You could also get a friend or someone else in the group to talk to them about it, which may be easier. That would not make you weak or cowardly! If you’re worried about how this person could react, it would make sure that you were out of the line of fire, for lack of a better word, while still making sure that your feelings were known. 

Another option is ignoring it and hoping they never ever bring it up. I’ve done that. It doesn’t work very well, but, ya know. It’s an option. I don’t recommend this.

You could also (if you’re comfortable being out) start mentioning being aromantic in conversation. You know that thing where people will come out via joke? That. Start wearing aggressively aromantic shirts, or bracelets, or just talking about it all the time. It’s passive aggressive adjacent, and they may not get the hint, but it might make you feel better and hey, maybe they’ll know what aromantic means! 

Do whatever makes you feel safest and most comfortable, and again, I’m really sorry you’ve been put in this position. Being the object of unrequited affection, even when it’s only perceived is never any fun.

(I’d also like to apologize for how late this ask is! I got sick just after you sent it, and couldn’t sit up or use my laptop for a week. I wasn’t ignoring you!)
