Requiteromantic (updated)- A romantic orientation characterized by the need for feelings to be mutual in order for romantic feelings to persist or deepen.
while recipromantic is defined that its a requirement for the person to like them first (to reciprocate), a requiteromantic will like the person first, but immediately does not like the person romantically anymore when their romantic attraction cannot be requited or is not requited.
Like, seriously, the romantic attraction will suddenly disappear. no more romantic desire at all. could still have other lingering feelings like emotional attraction, but no more drive for romance.
Etymology - Requiteromantics are not unrequited romantics as romantic feeligns disappear once unrequitedness is evident to them.
For some, feelings are still considered unrequited even if the person likes them back if they do not or cannot like them in the same depth as they have
Flag explanation:
Gray - Stable, calm, detachment (after rejection/unrequitedness). It is also because this label is closer to grayromanticism than pure aro since it initiates instead of starting off as none Lighter blue - tranquility and peace with unrequitedness/rejection Deeper blue - True feelings, even if its not apparent to some due to how easy it is moving on if someone does not like them
Blue could also represent logic, as requiteromantics will not be attracted to people that logically cannot like them back at all like people that are not attracted to their gender.
pattern is derived from the recipromantic flag but reversed because its kind of like recipromantic but in reversed order, not the opposite.
Why I believe it counts as aromantic/aspec
It is a greyspec identity since the person feels attraction only in specific circumstances.
little to no desire for a romantic relationship with specific people because you will kinda just stop caring at the end of the day since you also GENUINELY cannot be into people that are not into you <- i know that is very uncommon and similar to recipromantic people's experiences as well
It is similar to Frayromantic, as feelings disappear when a condition is met (a person not liking them)
Requite- flag (base flag can be used or modified for every attraction type forgot to include them again my bad)
