Every romantic orientations ever.

[ReginaGeorge]

For those of you who don't know, romantic orientation works the same way sexual orientation does, but instead of it describing your sexual attraction to other people, romantic orientation is describing who you can/do get romantic feelings for. Romantic orientation does not have to match your sexual orientation. Describing romantic orientation is popular for people whose sexual and romantic attractions do not match. For example, a man who can have feelings for men and women, but only wants to have intercourse with women would technically be a biromantic heterosexual.

These are terms I'm aware of:

Aromantic: a person who does not experience romantic attraction to other people.
Biromantic: a person who is romantically attracted to both men and women.
Demiromantic: a person who is romantically attracted to a person after forming a non-romantic emotional connection, e.g friendship.
Heteroromantic: a person who is romantically attracted to the opposite sex/gender.
Homoromantic: a person who is romantically attracted to the same sex/gender.
Panromantic: a person who is romantically attracted to people of all genders including non-binary e.g trans*gendered people.

Labeling romantic orientation isn't as widely done as sexual orientation because it is more common for romantic and sexual orientation to match. e.g. a homoromantic homosexual.

You aren't bisexual then.

I beg to differ. Bisexual implies sexual attraction, meaning that one can be bisexual and still only be able to love one sex. I'm incredibly attracted to women, but not romantically. No, I don't consider myself bisexual, but I also feel a little odd saying that I'm straight, and curious is even worse. Typically I just go with straight, but technically I'd consider myself heteroromantic bisexual.

I'm pretty damn sure I am. I am more romantic to girls, and sexual to guys. That doesn't mean I'll NEVER have a relationship with a guy, however ...

Hey, hey. It's okay. Don't worry about. People will have opinions or questions about your sexuality, but only you can define yourself, because you're the only one who knows what you truely like.

Bisexuality is socially seen as "likes boy and girls equally, sexually and romantically", but technically that's not the case. It's called biSEXUAL. It technically only covers sexual attraction and it will vary in intensity for each sex as well. Romantic orientations cover the other side.

You are right. :)
