Aromantic? Someone who likes someone who smells good?

"I want to get laid but I don't want to have to put any emotion into it and I want her to just go home afterward." OMG they have an actual name for that now?
I'm sure that would work sometimes. For some reason to me at least one some level sociopaths seem kind of cool. They're this mysterious, powerful group. I'm sure some women are into that...the ones who think more with their genitalia than their brains, for example.
I don't want to lie though. I'm considerably more boring than a sociopath.
I'm a bit confused. Who would you be telling this to? What ARE you looking for and where are you looking for it?
Well...I knew at least two women I enjoyed spending time with, just talking with one and playing Wii games with the other, and they seemed to develop crushes on me so I stopped spending time with them. I found that quite irritating.
I tend to have difficulty guessing when someone is likely to get jealous of a guy talking to their girlfriend.
I was at a frat party, and slightly drunk, and one of the guy's girlfriends was dancing on a bed (it was in a dorm room) and everybody left the room but me, and it never occurred to me that might irritate the guy, partly because I was drunk, but also because I don't really understand the emotions that result in intense jealousy. I understand jealousy...just not massive, fiery irritation due to it.
At times I've avoided people I would've enjoyed talking because I didn't know how to talk to them without giving them the impression I was interested in dating them. I like talking to strangers, pretty much 100% of the time, just because I like talking to strangers. I know of course that say at a bonfire if we happen to be sitting near each other it could be weird not to talk to each other...but if I actually walk over to a woman I don't know and begin a conversation with her, she may not understand what I want from that (which is just to talk for amusement). She may think I think she's cute and want to date her, and what dating seems to mean by default is spending regular time with the person and getting emotionally committed to be person and basically a lot of stuff I'll probably have no interest in doing.
I think the best solution is to just say "I'm aromantic," then explain what that means...but what I'd like the most is to just find the most efficient way to get random women to think I'm not hitting on them when I talk to them at social gatherings (without lying about being gay or something). I'm not sure there is an efficient way to do that. I've pretty much decided the longer explanation is the best one. I was just wondering if anyone had any better ideas.
