This person is not deprived of romantic relationships; they're there if they chose to pursue them. They choose not to as they do not derive enjoyment from them. Do not feel sad, be happy they know themselves better than most.

    They choose not to

    What I've derived from their answer is that they are incapable of sexual or romantic feelings. Hence they call themselves aromantic / asexual.

    But if they're capable and it's their conscious decision to be aro / asex - then it's another story.

    I mean, if you want to get into it sure. But at the end of the day, different people like different things and we all live different lives. It's not a reason to feel sad for someone. It's not like they resent their lack of sexual or romantic feelings, that's just how they are.
