I don't want to flirt with them or flood them with random compliments.Like I'm at work and someone shows me a picture of a lapel pin that is also a flower pot, and I instantly go, "not really my thing, but XY gonna love this so much, I'll send them a link". I think about them a lot, reminded of them by stuff.I feel comfortable and relaxed if they are around. I want to talk to them, hear their ideas, I enjoy the way their brain works. The interest is mostly intellectual curiosity.I don't really know many aro people irl and squishing on alloro people seems to be unavoidable. One last thing: has anyone ever had a squish (edited because I said crush first) on an alloro person and has been in a QPR or something of the sorts with them? That's been a problem for me because alloro people don't normally understand the concept of QPRs and that's what I want, but I'm afraid it would be weird to ask them about it. Although I do want to be with them and think about them a lot, I just can't imagine myself being romantically involved with them. Nothing about my attraction just feels like it's romantic in nature. We can talk about who we find attractive and where we want to go after high school, and we're friends. Being friends with them just seems natural. I don't think of them as a romantic partner. This might just be my mindset, but I can't think of my squish as a romantic partner.

No jealousy. I've noticed that I won't get jealous when people are with my squish.NO KISSING. Kissing is just so weird.*shrug* I don't like it.Some thing that I've noticed that help me differentiate from a crush are: You enjoy being around them. When I'm around my squish I smile a lot and think "I love them" and "They're the greatest" etc.I've never felt the need to kiss anyone I've had a squish on before. That's what usually tells me that it isn't romantic. I might sit close to them. The thing that I don't want is kissing.

When I'm around my squish I hug them and I put my arm around their shoulder. When I get squishes I think about them all the time and I wish they were with me to share experiences with them. Maybe someone who experiences romantic attraction would want to add to this? They think about their crushes all the time. My friends say they always get fluttering feelings in their stomach and they think about kissing them and stuff when they're around their crushes. Although I've never really had an intense squish that comes with sexual attraction, I do think that it's possible. Otherwise FWB just wouldn't exist or be a thing. I've heard some people say that a squish is non-romantic and non-sexual, but I think that sexual attraction can come with platonic attraction. What do you consider romantic and what do you consider platonic? Usually the distinctions vary on the person. From what I've heard, they're very similar. I was thinking the other day about crushes and squishes, and I was wondering how people can tell the difference. Oh yes, you all knew that this topic would come up sometime.
