Aromantic: Not feeling romantic attraction. Aromantic describes only the attraction one feels, not the desire or repulsion of the idea of a relationship or romantic acts. They could be repulsed, neutral, or even desire a relationship or romance. They may feel alterous or sensual attraction and engage in alterous or queerplatonic/quasiplatonic relationships. All types of aromantics are valid and there’s no right or wrong way to be aromantic.
