Guys I finally found a term for myself that I saw a long time ago but couldn’t find again which explains how I feel platonic/romantic attraction. I’m idemromantic, which pretty much means I cannot distinguish between romantic and platonic attraction, as they both feel the exact same to me. With me also being grayromantic and grayplatonic, I almost never feel either, but when I do, they’re the exact same thing. This sometimes causes me to assume I have a crush on a friend or that I only see my partners as friends, but really, to me, these feelings are the exact same. No, that does not mean I want to date all my friends. It just means that I truly couldn’t give less of a fuck what others see me as. If they decide to ask me to be their partner, if I feel anything toward them, I’ll say yes. If they’d rather see me as a friend, that’s fine too. Though there are some beings I’d rather have as a romantic partner than a friend, or vice versa, I stay back and let them decide because I know it’ll be pretty much the same on my side either way

yknow it took me a while to realise that most people actually *want* stuff in the realm of relationships. like all those posts in aromantic circles about platonic marriage, at least some of them are deadass genuine about actually wanting that as an alternative while i was just sat here like “sure? i guess?” it’s an alternative i’d prefer over romance but id only want it to get away from romantic marriage plus i doubt it’ll happen for me considering how comparatively unthought-of it is.

[Image descriptions in alt text]

Greyplatonic — A term with three generally accepted defintions:

A term for people somewhere between aplatonic and alloplatonic.

A term for people on the aplatonic spectrum whose experiences are not fully captured by the aplatonic label.

A term for people on the aplatonic spectrum who experience some level of platonic attraction (e.g. demiplatonic, frayplatonic, etc.)

Also called grey-apl or grey-aplatonic. Alternatively spelled grayplatonic, gray-apl, or gray-aplatonic.

Etymology, flag symbolism, and further info is below the cut.

Etymology — From "grey area" in application to attraction/aplatonicism.

Flag Symbolism — The flag symbolism is as follows:

The blue-tinted stripes represent greyplatonic people who identify as part of the aplatonic spectrum.

The yellow-tinted stripes represent greyplatonic people who identify as part of the alloplatonic spectrum.

The grey stripes with no tint represent greyplatonic people who identify as neither apl-spec nor alloplatonic-spec.

The desaturation represents greyplatonicism as a whole, as well as a sense of fuzziness or blurriness common among greyplatonic people.

Stripes get thinner towards the center, representing how it can be difficult to pinpoint where one falls on the spectrum, and how identities can blur together.

It is based on my greysexual flag, with some color changes inspired by the aplatonic flags.

Greyspec

[PT: Greyspec. End PT.]

[Image ID 1: a rectangular flag with 6 equal horizontal stripes. The first 5 stripes are a gradient from dark-ish/mid grey to light grey, and the bottom stripe is a very dark grey. End ID.]

[Image ID 2: same design as the first flag, but the gradient has a faint green tint/hue. End ID.]

Greyspec, or Grayspec – not experiencing attraction in the same way as others. Some examples are: experiencing attraction less frequently; not experiencing it to the same degree as most; or feeling attraction only occasionally and not all the time.

Greyspec is the grey area between Aspec (little to no attraction) and Allo (experiences attraction normally)

There are many different ways to be greyspec, as it is a spectrum. And greyspec is not just for greysexual or greyromantic, it is a term that can be used for any and all attractions.
