So You Think You Might Fall Under The Aromantic Umbrella? Or Maybe You Feel Romantic Attraction In A Non-Standard Way?
That's so awesome!The aim of this Carrd is to provide a simple "quiz" to help you become aware of some Aromantic and lesser-known romantic terms that you may or may not relate to! I will also be providing a glossary page for those who don't feel like clicking through all the options. You are in no way obligated to identify with the terms I provide in response to your answers.Yes, there are a bunch of micro-labels.No, you are NOT obligated to know what every single one of them means.This “quiz” is purely for the purpose of education and exploration. You could identify with none of them, or you could identify with TEN! Romantic attraction is fluid, complicated, and an entirely personal experience. Just like your sexual oriention, gender identity, gender expression, what have you. That’s why you’ll see so many hyper-specific micro-labels. They are not created as a way to divide us into neat little boxes but are instead meant to empower those who identify with them and help them feel less alone!On the other hand, I will say I've made the decision to not include micro-labels in which trauma alone has caused the user's aromanticism. While I understand wanting to put a name to your experiences and feel less alone, I am not comfortable with the idea of giving victims of abuse an excuse to never work through said trauma because "oh, well, I'm just such-and-such-romantic now". Your trauma does not have to define you.One final note: please be aware that the terms I am providing will have nothing to do with your attraction/preference in regards to gender/sex/etc. I'm operating under the assumption that you already know WHO you're attracted to, just not HOW or IF you're attracted to them romantically.Click Here! for some useful terms you may want to familiarize yourself with before proceeding.With that out of the way, let's get started!
(Actually, Just Take Me To The Glossary Page Please)
Types of Attraction
Aesthetic attraction: occurs when someone appreciates the appearance or beauty of another person(s), disconnected from sexual or romantic attraction.
Alterous attraction: a form of emotional attraction. It describes a feeling that is not necessarily platonic/queerplatonic, but also is not romantic in nature. It's a pull toward emotional closeness or intense feelings that may or may not have any relation to the romantic/nonromantic binary. Someone can be both alterous & romantic &/or platonic & can have varying degrees of attraction, ultimately feel discomfort / unease / or just a sense of inaccuracy in calling it wholly romantic or platonic.
Emotional attraction: the desire to get to know someone, often as a result of their personality instead of their physicality. This type of attraction is present in most relationships from platonic friendships to romantic and sexual relationships.
Intellectual attraction: the desire to engage with another in an intellectual manner, such as engaging in conversation with them, “picking their brain,” and it has more to do with what or how a person thinks instead of the person themselves.
Platonic attraction: is defined as the desire to form a close platonic relationship (friendship) with a specific person, or to form a closer friendship with someone one already knows.
Primary Attraction - attraction that is felt upon first meeting someone.
Romantic attraction: attraction that makes people desire romantic contact or interaction with another person or persons.
Secondary Attraction - attraction that only develops after personally knowing someone for a period of time.
Sensual attraction: the desire to interact with others in a tactile, non-sexual way, such as through hugging or cuddling.
Sexual attraction: attraction that makes people desire sexual contact or shows sexual interest in another person(s).
The above terms can also be used together with prefixes like hetero- homo- bi- pan- omni- poly- and so on! So, if you especially feel alterous attraction towards people of the same gender, you might use the term homoalterous!
Types of "Crushes"
Lush - A sensual equivalent of a squish or crush.
Plish - (proposed by my-only-voice) an instance or example of sensual attraction.
Plush - A queer platonic crush, a strong desire to join in a queer platonic relationship with someone.
Smush - A sexual crush aka Lust.
Squish - An intense feeling of attraction, liking, appreciation, admiration for a person you urgently want to get to know better and become close with. It is different from "just wanting to be friends" in that there is an intensity about it and a disproportionate sense of elation when they like and appreciate you back. In the asexual community, the equivalent of a "crush", but explicitly lacking an interest in forming a romantic couple or having a sexual relationship with the person in question. It does not matter if they are "in a relationship", as long as you two can have a deep connection.
Swish - An aesthetic crush.
Thete - (proposed by Anagnori) An instance or example of aesthetic attraction.
Types of Non-Tradtional Relationships
Aromate - A platonic friend who’s pretty much your soul-mate but in a friend way. You’d totally hold their hand and take them out to movies though. In other words Aromantic partner.
Peach Fuzz - When people in queer platonic relationships pretend their partnership is a romantic one to stave off questions from family and friends.
Quasi/Queerplatonic Relationship - A committed non-romantic relationship that goes beyond what is the subjective cultural norm for a friendship. Levels of intimacy and/or behaviors between the partners involved often don’t fit the conventional standards set by society. Some QPRs can include sex and elements that are generally considered romantic. In practice every queerplatonic relationship is different. Abbreviated to QPR, and queerplatonic (quasiplatonic) partner to QPP. Another common word for QPP used to be zucchini.
__Some Helpful Terms __
Alloromantic - The opposite of aromantic: a person who experiences romantic attraction or romantic desire in a clear, consistent, frequent enough manner to have no relationship to the aromantic spectrum.
Amatonormativity - A tendency of society to treat romantic relationships as more valuable than non-romantic ones.
Aromantic Spectrum - Often shortened to arospec, is a group of romantic orientations that all fall under the umbrella term of aromantic. People on the aromantic spectrum may lack romantic attraction or feel it so little that they related more to the aromantic experience. The common link between people on the aromantic spectrum is that they don't feel the "standard" amount of romantic attraction or they don't feel it in the "standard" way, that alloromantic people do.
Nonamory - Not wanting to form romantic relationships no matter one's orientation.
Soft Romo - Low level romance/romantic attraction/crush/etc.
Hyperromantic - Someone who is extremely or excessively romantic.
Hyporomantic - Someone with low romantic drive.
Noviromantic - Is someone who experiences a complicated romantic attraction (or lack thereof) such that they do not feel it can be described in a single term
Schromantic - Is someone who is aromantic and romantic at the same time, or some mix of the two. (A term used on AVEN) (describing romanticism in terms of Schrödinger’s cat as having the possibility of being romantic and aromantic at the same time).

Many aromantics use separate romantic and sexual orientations.A common misconception is that all aros lack emotions, lack the ability to form social connections, and are "loveless". In reality many aros are capable of feeling love- platonic love such as that between a mother and child or best friends is still love.Aros can also meet their emotional needs through queerplatonic relationships, or other non-romantic relationships. Some aromantics get platonic crushes or "squishes", also known as platonic attraction.On the other hand, some aromantics may not experience platonic love or attraction, and may identify as aplatonic.
