Demiromantic

 is an Aspec (specifically Aro-spec) orientation where one experiences romantic attraction to a person after they have developed an emotional connection to them. The connection can be platonic, sexual, alterous, even romantic, or some other form of connection. What counts as a "close connection" can vary between Demiromantics. Forming an emotional bond with someone does not mean that one is automatically attracted to said person, as it just means there's now a possibility for one to feel attraction.

Some Demiromantics may choose to further define their orientation in terms of genders they are attracted to (Demibiromantic, Demihomoromantic). Others do not find this necessary, or feel that they have enough experiences of romantic attraction to figure out who they’re attracted to.

Etymology
The prefix demi- means "half" or "partial". The prefix is also used in words such as demigod.

Definition

History
The term Demiromantic, presumably, came after Demisexual and Aromantic/Aro-spec identities became more known.

Flag
It is unknown when the first demiromantic flag was created, but presumably it was created after the Aromantic and the Demisexual flags were, as it uses the same green colors from the Aro flag, and mirrors the Demisexual flag. In both the Aromantic and Demiromantic flags, black represents a lack of romantic attraction, and green represents the Aro-spec community. The grey represents Greyromanticism, which Demiromanticism is included under, and white represents romantic attraction.
