Keepromantic flag
Keepromantic is an aro-spec identity in which one may gain romantic attraction to another at any pace, but as soon as those feelings are rejected, all romantic interest that was previously felt disappears.
For example, A may feel romantic attraction to B, but after B rejects A, all romantic attraction A experienced disappears. One may gain feelings back after a certain period of time, although this is an uncommon experience for keepromantic individuals.
One may lose attraction once a small piece of unreciprocated feelings are shown/implied by by the other individual(s). An example of this would be if A feels attraction to B and B hinting that they have attraction to A as well, but B refuses to act on these feelings, making A's romantic attraction disappear.
The feelings do not have to be confirmed unreciprocated, as attraction can disappear with the slightest bit of unreciprocation, no matter the relationship.
Being keepromantic is often caused by trauma, but it does not have to be.
