Greyromantic

Greyromantic, Greyaromantic, or Grey-Aromantic and sometimes shortened as Greyro or Grey-Aro (also spelled with Gray instead of Grey) is a romantic orientation for those who relate with Aromanticism, yet feel that there are parts of their experience that aren't fully described by the word Aromantic.[1]

It is an orientation under the A-spec umbrella, specifically Aro-spec. In itself, Greyromantic can be used as its own identity or as an umbrella term for Aro-spec orientations that are not strictly Aromantic (Greyspec).

Some Greyromantic experiences may include:

  • Experiencing romantic attraction infrequently.
  • Experiencing romantic attraction frequently but not as frequent as Alloromantic people.
  • Experience romantic attraction very weakly.
  • Feeling romantic attraction but not desiring a romantic relationship.
  • Feeling unsure about how to identify romantic attraction or how to draw the line between romantic and non-romantic, and consequently feeling unsure about having experienced it or not.
  • Experiencing attraction that is only ambiguously romantic.
  • Feeling alienated from romance.
  • Feeling attraction only in specific circumstances.
  • Finding Aromanticism a useful idea, even if it isn't a perfect fit.

Greyromantic can also be combined with other romantic orientations. For example, one could be greyromantic and homoromantic (greyhomoromantic), meaning that one rarely experiences romantic attraction, but when they do it's only ever towards people of the same/similar gender.
