imma share my experience rejecting someone just to fit in!! my aro a*s never had a crush lol.
There was this guy I was friends with and he was really cool to be around. But 1/2 of our group is lgbt and he was the homophobic christian type, so we slowly started to get mad at him for constantly misgendering one of our friends.
Then around june in 2022 he ""confessed"" to me, but subtly (by the classic you know her very well and calling himself ugly around me) so I started to avoid him even more.
Then during july he completely cut contact with us, thanks to me 😘. But last year I heard from a friend of a friend that he was talking shi ab us, so ig he never got over it🤷♀️
