LordAce Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 To which romantic orientation do you belong if you feel romantic attracted to someone but when you start a relation, you don't feel romantic attraction anymore? Link to post Share on other sites
AmusedSkeptic Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Some labels that fit that description are lithromantic and frayromantic. Link to post Share on other sites
LordAce Posted May 24, 2020 Author Share Posted May 24, 2020 1 hour ago, CBC said: That just sounds like not liking some aspect of the reality of being in a relationship. Maybe you're anxious about intimate connection, maybe the person isn't actually how you idealised them... None of which is an orientation. I don't have anxiety for closeness.

SithLord Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 For the orientations TheGoodDemonKeeper (do you have your username like that just so people can't tag you?) mentioned: Frayromantic: I've heard it's considered "the opposite of demiromantic" so either "lose attraction to someone once a close bond is formed" or "can only be sexually attracted to people without a close bond". Seen the former here on AVEN and the latter on a wikia page. I think most people use the former definition. Lithromantic: (also akoiromantic or apromantic) which is feeling romantic attraction/desire without wanting it to be reciprocated. Definition found here and was paraphrased. Personally, fray- seems like a normal phenomenon with most people, but so does demi- when generalized a bit too much. So maybe people who actually identify with the label would have a reason to bother distinguishing themselves. Lith- I've seen people use and it's a common phenomenon on AVEN as far as I've seen.
