#forced ace

I look at pictures of my crush and try to imagine a traditional "romantic" date with him, being treated sweetly, buying me gifts and showing me off to all his friends as his 'love' while I try and not cringe away and tell him that's so silly and I'm above it all. When I'm not, I'll just melt and smile and nod and agree because I deserve to be romanced out of pretending I dont need affection at all!!!

Bonus points if we're both aces and he's not aro and wants to make me his romantic but not s3ggsual partner - that would fix me right?????? He'll take me on romantic dates over and over again till I understand that he wants me to be romantic to him too and that I have to learn to love being wooed and dated like this. Thats how he 'gets off' on watching me crumble around his romantic attentions.
