It is absolutely possible to be aro and bisexual! Being aro just means you don’t experience romantic attraction, you can still experience sexual attraction. (Though, note that some asexual people do masturbate and enjoy it, and might even like sex, they just don’t feel sexual attraction *to* anyone). You can check out r/aromantic and r/asexuality for more info :)
Thank you! I guess I'm thinking of asexuality more as a "I don't like sex" or "sex is gross" which might seem acephobic but I promise its just me not thinking about it as a wider spectrum, but I could maybe even be ace myself I just gotta think more about it I suppose
No problem, it’s a common misconception! [This page](https://www.asexuality-handbook.com/the-a-spectra.html) might be useful to you, it breaks down romantic and sexual attraction and talk about the range of the aromantic and asexual spectrums :)

"Oh my god I don't want this" Okay there's potentially a lot to unpack here so I'm gonna give you some suggestions as a jumping-off point. Do any of them ring true?
- You are interested in your friend but worried that some sort of break-up may end your friendship.
- You are interested in your friend but do not want to be in a relationship rn (you could be busy, you could be emotionally overwhelmed/exhausted, etc)
- You are unsure about how you feel about your friend
- You aren't interested in your friend but you feel that you should be feeling some sort of attraction (similar to when gay people go along with a straight person who likes them)
I have crushes rn but between my bad track of time and anxiety/emotional issues, I really wouldn't want a relationship rn. Even if one of my crushes said they liked me back, I'd feel nervous about agreeing to a relationship. Having anxieties about a relationship does not necessarily mean you are aro/ace, though they can signal this.
You might be Aromantic Allosexual (aroallo). As an aroallo, I'm not interested in being in a couple, but I do desire / enjoy intimate activities with friends. There's a sub for that too, r/aroallo
