You sound kinda aromantic there, msbelle. I think...
I'm reading the aromantic thread at AVEN, and most of them I'm not. I'm not grossed out by most romance. I just...not prepared for that emotion, and I don't think I need it.
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think gifts of food/wine are lovely.
Oh, there's always baked goods! Homemade, that is.
I do have a long weekend this weekend, and it's supposed to rain, which is good baking weather for me.

But that's just me right now, I love big sloppy romance, and I love the idea of it for me, but OMG the idea of someone wanting to do stuff with me and for me to be attentive to them and blah blah blah. Right now in my life that sounds like a chore and a drag.

Doesn't mean the term doesn't apply. It's not a life sentence, it's just an adjective.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
There, there. I'm sure you girls just need to find the right man.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
There, there. I'm sure you girls just need to find the right man.
And when you do, you can tag him and then it'll be your turn to hide.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
And when you do, you can tag him and then it'll be your turn to hide.
This took me a minute to parse, because, you know, how does hiding help you determine his migration patterns?
