Grey-romantic 

A grey-romantic (gray-romantic) is a person with a romantic orientation that is somewhere between aromantic and romantic.

For example, a gray-romantic may:
-Experience romantic attraction but not very often.
-Experience romantic attraction, but not desire romantic relationships.
-Desire relationships which are not quite platonic and not quite romantic.

One type of gray-romantic is called demiromantic.

Demiromantics do not experience primary romantic attraction for a person, but are capable of experiencing secondary romantic attraction after forming an emotional connection.

Gray-romantics may also prefix a gender orientation to the label, as in "Gray-heteroromantic". See AVEN (asexuality.org) for more info.
I'm grey-romantic. I rarely have a crush, but when I do I'm not interested in a romantic relationship.

grayromantic

A romantic identity that falls between aromantic - or not experiencing romantic attraction - and alloromantic, or experiencing romantic attraction (most people are alloromantic). Someone who is grayromantic may rarely experience romantic attraction.

Note: this is different than your sexuality! Your sexuality is who you're attracted to, whereas this specifies how/when. You can be straight, gay, bi, pan, etc. and grayromantic.
Sam is grayromantic and bi. She's attracted to men and women, but doesn't often experience romantic attraction.

grayromantic

A romantic orientation that describes individuals whose romantic attraction exists in the gray area between romantic and aromantic.

Many people who identify as grayromantic do experience some romantic attraction, but perhaps not at the same level or frequency as those who identify their sexuality or romantic orientation as something other than asexual.
