AN INVERSE POEM:

Science is cool,

But romance is better,

What's NaK?

Lemme give you my sweater.

NaK is an alloy

of volatile metals.

It blows up in water,

that's better than sweaters.

[Going_North_cal]

Love is an alloy

Making life better

Made of powerful stuff

Infused in that sweater.

[The Aspiring Archivist any pronouns]

Love is psychology

and biochemistry.

And since those both are science,

it takes the mastery.

[Going_North_cal]

In that psychology,

Deep in the brain,

Love sings out,

With every refrain.

[The Aspiring Archivist any pronouns]

I don't feel romance,

and human I am.

It's not the basis

for the science of man.

[Szeth's Facepalm]

I never said either one wasn't cool.

I'm just arguing that science is better than romantic love, in my definitely not biased opinion.

Poem wars are cool

While dueling with swords

one can strike bone

with rhythm and rhyme.

Um weeeeell I get crushes but I don’t really like the person. When I get “crushes” I usually pick someone I think is nice and looks alright so I have a name when my friends are all “who do you like?” “So-and-so is so dreamy”. I make sure however that I pick someone who is wayyyyy out of my league so I never have to say yes (or no) if they ask me out (I hate hurting peoples feelings). I don’t think I have ever actually had a ‘real’ crush. I didn’t realise that I was doing this until very recently.

However, I do want to have a romantic relationship. Snuggling, watching movies ect. But only with someone with whom I have a good friendship with first, who I know and trust with everything. I want my prospective partner (if that ever happens) to be my best friend. We can be all ‘lovey-dovey’ but also talk to each other about everything. Including mental health. But, sometimes I’m not sure if I even want the romantic bit or just the really deep friendship. 

I realised this all because I was told by my ‘crush’ that they liked me and wanted to go on a date. I froze up and just said “sure”  because I didn’t want to hurt their feelings and they are a super nice person. I convinced myself that I could be like Golde in Fidler on the Roof and learn to like them if I just spent some time with them. I didn’t and now my life is even more confusing than it was before. 

Bleh I wish everything was more simple.

Also, thanks all you Sharders for being so supportive and kind and making feel I can actually talk to. You guys are the first people I’ve told about this. Thanks

Right. I might be wrong, but it sort of sounds like your crushes have been people you like as a friend, and you've been calling them a crush to meet societal norms.

I think demiromanticism (is that a word?) is really cool! And I think it's great that you want your potential relationships to include discussions about things like mental health. That should always be the case for that kind of relationship, otherwise it probably isn't very healthy. And yeah, I get how it could really be confusing, but keep in mind that there are people whose romantic inclinations fluctuate.

As for the crush, I think you should go ahead with it, and see how it goes! The fact that you like them as a person is a good start. It might be a positive experience, and it could help you learn more about yourself.

Spoiler

Disclaimer: I'm reasonably confident that I've never felt romantic attraction in my life, and I might not be the best authority on this.

I agree. Demiromanticism (it is a word) is pretty cool. 

After reading Cinnamon's comment, I think I might be at least a little Demiromantic too. Now that I think about it, most, if not all of my crushes have been friends first.

I have to talk to someone (actually talk to them, not just say hi and get their name) before I can have a crush on them. The one time it was different, the guy looked a lot like someone I knew well and respected.

Perhaps you’re Demiromantic (or at least a bit) too? It’s a lot more common than people think.
