What we’re about
Welcome to the San Francisco Bay Area Aromantic Meetup Group! This group is for individuals who identify as aromantic and are interested in meeting like-minded people in the Bay Area.
Come and make friends with others who get it, discuss aromantic experiences or just hangout. Reddit has been a great support for us, and IRL is even better.
Join us for social meetups, events, and online discussions centered around building community for folks on the aromantic spectrum in the Bay Area.
Let's have some fun, find support and celebrate our aromantic lives.
Friends of aromantics are welcome.
If you want to learn more about the romantic orientations of the aromantic spectrum, check out the information at the Aromantic-spectrum Union pages (AUREA).
Note: Any fundraising requests you see in our group are directed towards paying for events like Pride Parades and meetup.com subscription fees. Never feel obligated to give to participate: most of all we want your energy and presence. If you do choose to give, do not give beyond what is comfortable for you and your budget.

See all- What is Aromanticism? - a podcast conversation in the South BayOlympus cafe and bakery, Mountain View, CA
We’re gathering at Olympus Caffe and Bakery* in Mountain View for a casual 2 hour-ish conversation guided by the episode “What is Aromanticism?” from the podcast Sounds Fake But Okay. It’s hosted by a biro-demi and Aroace duo and has been running for an impressive 7 years—so yeah, they know a thing or two!
Episode 171 dives into nuances of aromanticism, starting with what it is and weaving through personal experiences and common challenges. Whether you’re new to the concept or have pondered it a bunch, this will be engaging.
🫂 Feel free to bring a aro or non-pro friend: anyone curious about what aromanticism means, how it shows up in real life, and why it matters.
📱 You can find the podcast on about a zillion streaming platforms, or just listen in your browser (link’s up top). (A zillion is mathematically defined as 1x10^(alot). I asked.)
🎶 Try to give it a listen beforehand, but if life gets in the way—show up anyway. Your perspectives and experiences are a welcome addition
🍽 Afterwards, some of us will head to a nearby spot for a bite or stay to enjoy Olympus' menu
*Olympus is just a few hundred feet from the Caltrain station. In the unlikely event the weather is meh (too cool or windy) we will relocate to another good group meeting spot at Red Rock Coffee a block SW. So check an hour ahead of time.
