Is it possible to be heteroromantic and homoplatonic? I thought maybe I’m panromantic asexual with a heavy preference to men but then I learned about squishes and realized that described how I felt about the girl I thought I had a crush on.

idk what a lot of these mean but you can do whatever you want ❤️

you can literally do whatever you want. and stressing about what labels are “allowed” or how to squeeze yourself into a box is only going to stand in the way of doing whatever you want. the labels you use can be useful for communicating what you want to other people but don’t get hung up on finding the perfect box to place yourself in

Wouldn’t homoplatonic mean you’re not attracted to the same gender?

The thing is, I was attracted to the girl that I mentioned in my post. Like, the way I felt about her I have NEVER felt about anyone before or since so I’m trying to figure out what it was and I can’t really fit it into the “friend” box or the “romantic” box. I have never been that attached to a person without actually knowing them that well.
