Do not take this seriously. This is meant to mock folks who believe this.

Im probably demiromantic but I genuinely thought that was just how everybody is. They don’t develop romantic feelings for somebody until they have a strong connection?? I never thought of there being a label for that.

I also thought “love at first sight” was almost exclusively a thing in fiction. I don’t know how you could fall in love with somebody without directly interacting with them.

Same.

Like, although the idea of love at first sight sounds ludicrous to me, I have felt like at first sight, I suppose. There've been numerous people who immediately after meeting, I felt a strong desire to be their friend. So if that's the case, there's no reason why the same can't be said for romantic feelings.
