mesotablarPicture post this time because I am lazy.
I am aromantic. I don't get crushes. I don't even get squishes. It was always so hard to keep remembering who I was supposed to like. I used to pick singers but then I would only be able to remember the band names. Then one day I was caught out and my mouth moved faster than my brain and out popped John Malkovich. Who is an awesome actor. But it creeped my friends out a bit. They stopped asking me 'who I liked' for a while after that. So all in all, John Malkovich was the best and most useful (not) crush I ever had.

on 2019-03-14 01:47 am (UTC)My friends went through a period of wanting to couple me up. They got desperate, to the point of teasing me that I like waiters or cashiers or lost people just because I was nice and smiled at them. If I'd had squishes I'm sure they would have thrown me into surprise blind dates! ....even without squishes they did that actually.
I hope you have better luck controlling your friend's misconceptions!
John Malkovich is always a good answer :D
