my shade of greyaromantic

[lazlohollyfeld1728]

hi,

so just to explain i'm greyaromantic and reicioaromantic; reicioaro is when someone experiences little to no romantic attraction because of repeated rejection, fear of rejection, basically some kind of trauma or fear regarding romantic relationships.  so for me, i'm greyromantic, but currently i'm also reicioaromantic, making me closer to totally aromantic.  my "normality", or just when i wasn't reicioaro, was being able to feel romantic attraction strongly, but very rarely, i only actually felt it once ever.

just wondering if any other greyaros are this way- besides the reicioaro part.  just if any greyaros also can experience strong romantic attraction, but only rarely or even once ever.

have a good one ´-` ﾉ

i identify as aromantic not gray, but i do recall a crush i had in elementary school. i'm almost certain it was a crush, i dreamt about getting married and everything lmao but to this day it has never happened again, i can't imagine myself in a romantic relationship anymore it is definitely not for me :3

Recently been playing with the term, duoromantic, which basically means someone who has two or more well defined terms that they switch between. Right now for me it’s both aromantic and greyromantic. I relate to the “only experience romantic attraction once,” but for me, it was very strong emotional and alterous attraction. I may also be duraromantic meaning someone who experiences romantic attraction rarely, but it lasts a long time. Which was definitely me with my crush! 

But I go back and forth between terms because technically I’m greyromantic but I tell people I’m aromantic. This may be temporary though. Considering that that crush was a while ago, and I may be realizing that what I felt wasn’t really romantic just strong emotional/alterous attraction. But I don’t know.

yeah, i did see a term once about only feeling romantic attraction once ever, but it's hard to really identify yourself with that, or any term that specifies how many times you felt an attraction yk?  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
