alterous 

A type of love that is neither completely platonic nor romantic. When you have alterous feelings for someone, you want to be close to them in any way. You might want to date them, yet not feel heartbroken if they say they'd rather be friends. But conversely, if they asked you out, you'd be happy to accept. Just so long as your relationship is close and strong, you're happy!

Two alterous people might have a queerplatonic relationship with each other.

Alterous feelings can be very intense! If you experience alterous attraction but don't know about the term, it can be easy to confuse for romantic love. Just remember, romance isn't inherently stronger than other types of love.

Alterous attraction is common among asexual and aromantic people, but can be experienced by people of all orientations!
I love you, in an alterous way. I think of you as a close friend, and I'm completely satisfied with that. But if you love me romantically, I'd be willing to try dating you too. I'd even have sex with you if you wanted me to! So long as we're emotionally close, I'm happy. You mean everything to me, and I want to do anything I can to make you happy.

The most gorgeous man to walk the face of the Earth. When you look at him, you'll be like "damn, how is he real?" He's good at tolerating his annoying friends though he sighs at them sometimes (or goes on Do Not Disturb). He loves spilling tea, but swears to always tell the truth while doing so. Though he's a bit obsessed with himself sometimes (or most of the time), is one of the nicest guys you could ever know. If you find an Alvaro, go on a pudding date with him sometime. It may lead to great things.
Wow, we stan the king of tea, Alvaro!

alterous attraction 

Alterous Attraction is normally used in the asexual/aromantic community. It describes feelings you have for someone that is neither strictly platonic or romantic; It's somewhere in the middle
Girl #1: Do you have a crush on Bob?
Girl #2: No, I just have Alterous Attraction to him. It's complicated
A loyal person who loves his girl very deeply , no one could ever match the love he gives to the girl he loves . An Alvaro could be very caring, once a Alvaro falls in love he will stay in love with who ever the special girl is . If you have an Alvaro that loves you keep him because that’s the best thing that will ever happen to you .
Alvaro... wait up
