I'm lithromantic myself and everytime I see lithros mentioned, the poster usually only includes one definition of lithromantic instead of both definitions. I'm curious how other liths/akois feel about the multiple definitions.

Lithro/Akoiromantics, how do you feel about there being two definitions for "lithro/akoiromantic"?

-Positive

-Neutral

-Negative

-See results

And for the record: the two definitions (as per AUREA identity terms glossary) are as follows:

Describes a person who can feel romantic attraction towards others and enjoys romantic relationships in theory, but does not need that affection to be reciprocated or to be in a relationship with the one the feelings are directed towards.

Describes a person who may stop feeling romantic attraction once in a relationship or stop enjoying it.

Aropsecs, would you like to be in a romantic relationship? If you are currently in a romantic relationship, answer with how you felt before that relationship or how you would feel if that relationship ended.

No, I am actively repulsed by that idea

No, I don’t like that idea

Not actively, I’m neutral, depends on circumstances

I’m neutral, but I would like to try it at some point

I would like one, but not enough to form a romantic relationship without feeling attraction

I would like one, regardless of if I felt romantic attraction to my partner(s) or not, but not necessarily immediately

I really want a romantic relationship and am actively seeking one

Results / not arospec

*FULL ANSWER: I would like one, regardless of if I felt romantic attraction to my partner(s) or not, but not necessarily immediately

Had to shorten because of character limits </3

Demiros, do you require a certain minimum amount of time to feel your bonds/connections that allow you to develop romantic attraction, before you can feel romantic attraction? I.E., do you generally need to have a non-romantic relationship with someone for at least a certain period of time before you ever feel romantic attraction.

No, I can develop attraction with new bonds as long as they’re deep enough

No, it varies too much for me to say that

Yes, at least a week long connection

Yes, at least a month long connection

Yes, at least six months long connection

Yes, a year or more long connection

Yes, several years long connection

I experience romantic attraction too rarely to say
