does it still count as being aromantic if you like having your persona/self insert/etc paired with characters but you’re not actually interested in dating irl

there’s probably a specific term for this but is it still considered as being aro or is this another thing entirely

like i like putting my self inserts in different relationships because it’s fun to imagine, but I can’t imagine myself, in reality, in a romantic relationship; like real me going on a real date with real people just isn’t as exciting.

Then again I kind of think that even though my self inserts are supposed to be me, I don’t actually think of them as myself??? I still kind of think of them as a character I made, even though they look like me and (usually) act like me, I don’t consider them as myself for real?

is that still considered a self insert/persona character?

And on the other hand, is this a legit thing or am I being one of those weird creepers that everyone likes to portray where they go “3d girls aren’t as good as 2d girls” and i don’t want to admit it???

I dunno it’s almost 4AM I should really go to bed but this has been bugging me a bit
