It was that exact query that brought someone here. And took them to the 'Is the erasure of Asexual men a growing problem'? article. But even so, despite a recent article on romantic vs sexual orientation and other articles that touch on relationships, this hasn't been addressed.

So, short answer: Yes, an Asexual man can be romantic. Longer answer: Asexual men are just as capable of being romantic as sexual men (or sexuals, period, for that matter). It's just that Asexual men, like their female counterparts, don't necessarily equate romance with sex. An example, a hand held walk on the beach on sunset, would likely end in a little conversation (and/or sleep) afterwards, instead of leading to sex.
