So many movie has taught us so much about love and how it feels and all the emotions that runs through our minds when we start feeling love. But there are people who don't strongly believe in love or not even close to believing in love at all. These people are called aromantics. This means, these people don't feel any romantic attraction towards anybody ever. This doesn't meant that they don't feel the emotions or are emotionally shut. These people do lead a normal life but just don't feel the romance. They don't see themselves connecting to anyone romantically or find anyone attractive enough in a loving sense. But also,this isn't any kind of mental illness. Aromanticism is just a personality trait and doesn't have to be treated. It is absolutely normal to have this kind of a trait. But if you wish to know about the signs of an aromantic person, here's what we have to say:

- This person hasn't ever had a crush on someone or just don't feel romantic towards someone. Basically, this person hasn't ever felt butterflies in the stomach or felt a spark.

- This person does watch romantic movies but don't really understand the true definition of romance. He/she doesn't find the logic behind singing a song for their partner or getting them flowers or gifts. They just don't relate to any of this.

- This person has absolutely no problem being single and doesn't ever find it as an uncomfortable phase of life.

- This person feels the love but not the romantic type. He/she doesn't feel the need to have flowers or candles or anything near to what we call as being romantic.

- This person might feel sexual attraction and feel just but doesn't get into a relationship for the sake of romance. He/she doesn't understand the running out of the airport to hug his/her loved ones or feel sad about leaving someone on a train station.

- This person might like reading romantic books but doesn't really want to feel all of it in life.

- This person is very much comfortable with being called an 'aromantic' and he/she rather agrees to this word describing him/her perfectly.

If you think you have this personality trait, don't think less of yourself. You're absolutely normal and can very much lead a normal lifestyle.
