flosexual/romantic

A term used by people who are attracted to femininity, but not specifically any gender. A person could be attracted to a feminine woman, but not a masculine woman, or a feminine man, but not a masculine man, or a fem-presenting non-binary person, rather than anything otherwise.

I identify as flosexual/romantic, which means I am sexually attracted to feminine people, regardless of what gender they identify as.

Non-romantic situationship

Definition:
A complex, emotionally enmeshed connection between two people who used to date, kind of still do emotionally, but now insist they’re “just friends” while continuing to talk for hours, share intimate life details, flirt occasionally, and confuse everyone in their lives including themselves.

Origin:
Usually evolves after a romantic breakup that failed to properly detach due to leftover fondness, emotional codependency, or an unwillingness to lose access to the only person who truly gets your weird jokes and trauma responses.

- “He’s not my boyfriend—he’s my non-romantic situationship. We only talk every day, share pet custody, and make each other jealous. Totally casual.”

actually romantic

A sarcastic phrase used to describe when someone’s hate or obsession with you crosses into weirdly affectionate territory. Comes from Taylor Swift’s 2025 song “Actually Romantic” on The Life of a Showgirl, where she mocks a rival’s fixation on her by calling it “sweet” and “romantic.”

Basically means: You’re so obsessed it’s kind of flattering.

“She’s been subtweeting me for weeks. Honestly? It’s actually romantic.”
