Demiromantic

Created by: Rust&Stardust

Definitions and Usage
Demiromantic is a label on the aromantic spectrum that specifies that an individual does not feel romantic attraction until an emotional bond is formed. This is not the same as being anti-romance, being picky, or preferring to wait for a "special someone"; they already experience romantic attraction, but choose not to act on it. Demiromantics simply do not feel that attraction. The demigender and demiromantic labels are not to be mistaken for each other.

Related Terms
The demi- prefix can be attached to other forms of attraction — including sexual, alterous, and platonic — and a demiromantic can be of any orientation (like a solaric demiromantic, for example). Its opposite is often considered frayromantic. As an arospec identity, it can be compared to other specific-scenario-attraction labels like recipromantic, but especially apresromantic. Amicusromantic is considered a microlabel under demiromantic.

Flags
No one really knows where either flag originated, but it can be assume it was adopted from the demisexual flag and recolored to reflect the aromantic flag.
