Borearomantic is a term in which one has an exception to ones usual romantic orientation. Depending on the oriented this exception might revolve around a specific idea; commonly a single person. This could mean one is normally aromantic but is romantically attracted to a specific person or that one is normally heteromantic but experiences homoromanticism to a specific person/partner. This attraction often breaks for a single person, if that person were to not date/lose attraction to that person, it is unlikely they would continue to identify with this label, as the break in attraction is often definite.

the current was made by Tumblr user beyond-mogai-pride-flags on June 22nd, 2018.[3] With an alternative being proposed by Tumblr user mogaiadjacent, although this flag was proposed as an alternate for both boreasexual and borearomantic and thus can be used interchangeably.[1]
