Demiromantic

Demiromantic Flag

Demiromantic describes people who do not experience romantic attraction until they have formed a deep emotional connection with someone, according to the most common definition.

Other definitions of this romantic orientation include only experiencing limited romantic attraction, or falling somewhere on a spectrum between aromantic and romantic; the latter definition overlaps with one for grayromantic.

History[]

It is unknown when the term was first used, but a page on The Asexual Visibility & Education Network (AVEN) was created for 'demiromantic' in August 2011 under the lexicon section of the website.[1]

Flag[]

While people often have different takes on the significance for each of the colors used, possible interpretations could be the following:

  • Black: The sexuality spectrum as a whole
  • Gray: Grayaromanticism and demiromanticism
  • White: Platonic and aesthetic attraction, queer/quasi platonic relationships, or being outside the straight-gay and male-female binaries
  • Green: Demiromanticism, or the aromantic spectrum
