There seems to a misconception among aromantics that romantics love Valentine's Day, are touchy-feely.
That just is not true. Granted, there are some romantics like that, but there are also romantics that hate Valentine's Day and don't like much touch; such as only holding hands and hugging. Some Romantic Asexuals may only like holding hands.

College newspaper columnists do not usually gain little attention outside of their college. The number of college newspaper articles addressing Asexuality has far outpaced the number of stories in the mainstream media. This is both good and bad. It is also representative of the age group that most commonly identifies as Asexual. A recent article, called Sex is the Biggest Nothing explores how romantic relationships form and the problems that can occur in each type of relationship.
The writer starts out with a story about one of her unnamed girlfriends. This girlfriend dated a boy who identified as Asexual. The relationship ends because the Asexual boy made no sexual advances towards the unnamed female. Now, it is possible that the author of the column could have made this part of the story up, but any Asexual who has attempted dating knows this story. The couple went a little farther but the relationship ultimately ended. The sexual partner simply didn't feel that she was desired. This part of the story is again, familiar to many Asexuals who have pursued romantic relationships.
