Ok so straight to the point I like this nonbinary person but they told me that they’re aromantic should I just give up or what do I do?? 😓

If your comfortable tell them how you feel and go from there, because people who are aromantic can still be in romantic relationships. Aromantic is defined as having little to no romantic attraction so they may or may not want/need a relationship but you should tell them how you feel, even if they dont reciprocate those feeling, it'll be a lot off your chest. Hope this helps

Aromantic/asexual is a spectrum, it can be anywhere from feeling far less romantic attraction than most to not really feeling it but still enjoying romance to being put off by romance entirely or anywhere in between. If they just said aromantic but you don't know the extent it doesn't necessarily mean it's not gonna happen, your odds are significantly worse but its not impossible
You could always ask them to explain a little more aboht it and gauge where they fall on the spectrum and go from there, or you can just tell them how you feel directly if you don't think it would affect your current relationship
I would never advise giving up though unless the other person is taken or rejected you already. Most things you regret in life is chances not taken, but if you take it and fail you at least get closure which is way better to deal with than the anxiety of uncertainty
