In this discussion, we will discuss the asexual and aromantic perspectives of interacting in romantic, platonic, and sexual relationships. Same and Mixed-orientation relationships manifest in many ways. How do we balance the normalcy of unsaid expectations still present in non-heteronormative dynamics? Can we normalize relational negotiations while still promoting spontaneity and organic bonding? What stereotypes do aroaces experiences that can inhibit their bonding and relational growth? This discussion is open to asexuals, aromantics, and allosexuals/alloromantics (non-ace/aro partners and allies).
