'''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]].<ref>[https://shades-of-grayro.tumblr.com/post/188819497530/hello-i-was-just-wondering-greyromantic-is Greyromantic]</ref>▼

A common reason someone may identify as greyromantic is that they experience romantic attraction but very infrequently. Some greyromantic individuals may only feel romantic attraction once or twice in their life. Others may experience it more frequently, but still not as frequently as [[alloromantic]] individuals.
Some Greyromanticgreyromantic experiences may include:
* Experiencing romantic attraction infrequently.
* Experience romantic attraction very weakly.
* Feeling romantic attraction but not desiring a romantic relationship.
* Feeling alienated from romance.
* Feeling attraction only in specific circumstances.
* Finding Aromanticismaromanticism a useful idea, even if it isn't a perfect fit.
Greyromantic can alsobe an orientation on its own or it can be combined with other romantic orientations. For example, one could be greyromantic and [[Gaygay|homoromantic]] (greyhomoromanticgrey-homoromantic), meaning that one rarely experiences romantic attraction, but when they do it's only ever towards peoplethose of the same/similar gender.▼
