iigolden Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I mean, around certain times, I get random bursts of romantic attraction towards people that fade in and out. I have no desire to form relationships but??? They confuse me?? But my period just ended and these feelings are still coming!! I remember, today, a friend referred to me saying they loved me platonically. I felt weird at that, like I wanted to be loved with more than that. But I saw how romantic relationships are and my feeling faded?? Like?? In concept (without THINKING of it - just knowing it's MORE THAN FRIENDS) I want a romantic relationships but then i think of how they really are and that feeling fades and??? I'm so confused! I feel like this is a hormonal thing, but I could really use some help!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamwiseLovesLife Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Sounds pretty grey-romo to me, or even 'fray-romantic' meaning that you experience romantic attraction but it decreases over time/when the feelings are reciprocated. It's hard to get around though, I know what you mean. I'm aro but want a life-partner in a platonic way. Hard to find fo' sho' :') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momo Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 More possible words - Lithromantic: somebody who is lithromantic can feel romantic attraction towards others and also enjoy being in romantic relationships but only in theory. 17 minutes ago, SamwiseLovesLife said: I'm aro but want a life-partner in a platonic way. Oh yes. But at least I am 'just' confused by romance. My heart goes out to Lithros who kind of want the thing but then don't want the thing when they try.

iigolden Posted July 23, 2017 Author Share Posted July 23, 2017 THANK YOU BOTH SO MUCH!! :0 I keep experiencing busts of this attraction that fade after a bit. Then the cycle repeats itself. End me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Untamed Heart Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I feel very similar, although mine's mixed with depression/crippling anxiety when it happens - which is only when I'm crushing on someone, not just at random and very rarely thank god! It can be very rough, anyway, but we've got your back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
