Genuine question, when aroace/aromantic people fall in love, what does that actually feel like? Is it romantic attraction, or more of a deep emotional connection? If it's the latter, how is it different from a really close friendship? Do you just realize, "This person is really important to me," or is it more like, "I love them," even if you don't necessarily want those feelings to be reciprocated? And is it hard to tell the difference between these emotions, or do people who are aroace usually understand and differentiate them clearly .
I'm curious because I've read manga/manhwa with aroace representation where the character eventually falls in love, and it made me wonder how people that are aroace experience those feelings in real life.
