Quoiromantic
Pronounced kwa-romantic, (also called βwtfromanticβ or βwhatromanticβ), this term can be used to describe anyone who has a lot of struggle with the concept of romantic attraction. The term is intentionally vague and covers a large variety of experiences such as:
- Not being able to understand the concept of romantic attraction
- Having difficulty distinguishing between romantic attraction and another form of attraction (aesthetic, sensual, or platonic)
- Finding the concept of romantic attraction to be inapplicable, inaccessible, or nonsensical
- Questioning your romantic orientation for so long that questioning itself forms a part of your identity
- Not feeling any other label is useful for you
Along with many others
People who identify as quoiromantic may identify as arospec (within the aromantic spectrum) or not, it doesnβt matter. This orientation is grounded in confusion around romantic attraction in general, and anyone can identify with this label.
