Yes, this includes going on a date and spending time together with your partner, not just doing chores.

I was just looking through modrinth when i found the (almost) aro flag (not sure if i should post this but its funny so whatever)

We all love ourselves a good dose of confusion, headache, and self-doubt don't we

I called it Demi-aromantic, but if you have a better name, let me know! Also, if you find an already existing flag that sounds the same, please tell me incase I didn’t actually make anything new.

Don’t threaten me with a good time!

Step 1: Am I aro?

Step 2: I can't be aro

Step 3: *learns about romance*

Step 4: Yeah nope I'm definitely aro

Step 5: Repeat

I live in an apartment and have a doorbell camera. The unit underneath me recently had someone move in. When they moved in, I saw a girl moving stuff in from a pickup truck and said hi, but it seemed clear that she wasn’t the only one. I was leaving, so didn’t see anyone else and haven’t since.

My apartment floors feel very rickety and I worried a lot about if whoever was below me could hear me as if I were stomping or if they could hear my alarm blaring in the morning and were bothered by it.

I didn’t hear them at my door, but I saw through the clips recorded by my doorbell camera that a little while ago a guy came to my door, knocked a couple of times and waited a bit before leaving and coming back with a note and putting it by my door. I was SO sure it was going to be a noise complaint about me walking too hard or something.

But nope. The note introduces himself as my downstairs neighbor and politely asks if I would like to grab dinner with him sometime. I’m sort of relieved but that was NOT what I was expecting lol

I’ve never met or seen him before, so the only reason I can think of for this is that their pickup truck was running with someone in it when I left for work this morning, so he might’ve seen me then 😅

I’m flattered but of course not interested. I should probably respond, right?

Edit: Just editing to say that I did write a response on the note and put it by his door. I thought about knocking and responding face-to-face, but I decided against it. My response was as follows: "Hi, []! Nice to meet you. I'm sorry it looks like I missed you at the door. I'm in a relationship, so I'm afraid I'll have to decline dinner, but I appreciate the invitation. My name is [] btw. Don't hesitate to let me know if I'm ever too loud! See you around!"

Yes, saying I'm in a relationship is a lie, but as a single woman living alone talking to a stranger, I opted for the cleanest rejection possible. Sometimes people tend to take "I'm not interested" or "I'm not looking for anything" as an open challenge for some reason.

Edit 2: I didn’t think there would be anything else to add, but I woke up this morning to another note at my door: “Hi []! It is nice to meet you too! I’m sorry to hear that you are taken, I’m just kidding lol. Anyways do not worry about making too much noise, sometimes I can barely tell if you are home or not so you are good! Thank you for writing me back, and again, if you ever need anything don’t be afraid to ask!”

I’ll consider this a friendly conclusion and I’ll just say hi if I ever run into him outside 👍
