Aromantic

Identity

Experiencing little or no romantic attraction to others.

What it means

Aromantic ('aro') describes someone who experiences little or no romantic attraction. Often paired with asexual but not always — someone can be aromantic and still experience sexual attraction, or vice versa. The aromantic experience is distinct from being commitment-averse or having had bad relationships.
