"Love" things I can't get behind as an aroace guy (1 Viewer)

Here's some relationship things I cannot get behind the concept of
1. Holding hands
It doesn't seem romantic; too many factors make this awkward. Firstly, the human palms perspire very quickly and I don't care how hot you are I don't wanna hold your sweaty hands. Second, what's so cute about holding hands any damn way?
The only relationship I see where holding hands translates into value is a relationship between a familial elder and junior.
Babies need their hand held when they walk the street, not my girlfriend
2. Cuddling
This one is less of a "ew I don't like" and more of a "I don't understand it and don't desire to". I would have to google the definition of cuddling the same way a 1st grader would need to google the definition of antidisestablishmentarianism to understand it and in both situations either of us would still be hella lost on the concept. I've tried to imagine it as basically gently wrestling someone but in a "playfighting" manner and that still does not help. I think it's just strange
3. Candles
Fire stresses me out. I can't get how that seems cute to anybody. I only light candles if it's some limited edition bath and body works cotton candy unicorn scented shit

I understand you on the candles cus wdym you wanna light a few candles so it'll be dark, I'll trip over my damn feet TT
cuddling to me is just laying/sitting there and hugging someone other than that there will be no other type of cuddles recieved from me TT

None of these are inherently romantic, but I get what you mean I guess. I'm aromantic and would do the former two with someone if I was able. I'm with you on the candles, though. Can't stand them. Fire hurts my eyes, even when it's small.
