'''Demiqueerplatonic''' is a [[Queerplatonic Attraction|queerplatonic]] orientation on the [[A-Spec|a-spectrum]] in which someone only experiences queerplatonic attraction after forming a deep bond/connection. Attraction is not guaranteed after this connection has formed; however, it is a requirement for attraction to be possible. Demiqueerplatonic can be an orientation on its own or it can be combined with other orientations. For example, one could be demiqueerplatonic and homoqueerplatonic, meaning that when one does experience attraction it's only towards those of the same or a similar gender.
The sexual equivalent is [[demisexual]], the romantic equivalent is [[demiromantic]], and the platonic equivalent is [[demiplatonic]].

'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is an [[aspec]] (specifically [[aquaspec]]) orientation where one experiences platonic attraction to a person after they have developed an emotional connection to them. What counts as a "close connection" can vary between demiqueerplatonics. 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 demiqueerplatonics may choose to further define their orientation in terms of genders they are attracted to (demibiplatonic, demihomoplatonic, etc.). Others do not find this necessary, or feel that they have enough experiences of platonic 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.
==History==
The term demiqueerplatonic, presumably, came after [[Demisexual]] and [[aqueerplatonic]]/[[aquaspec]] identities became more known.
