So I'm confused as to why a distaste for the gestures would imply an Aro identity. But we are all free to choose our own labels.The gestures are a formulaic way of communicating feelings/intent. I guess if a partner needed that sort of reassurance to feel valued, I'd try to oblige. I wouldn't feel bad about not wanting to, though.
