#-philoi

A term used to describe an attraction that is stronger than queer platonic, but not as strong as a romantic and/or sexual attraction. It can also be defined as feeling an attraction towards an individual in a strong way, that can't better be described as romantic/sexual/queer platonic/etc. Doesn't inherently have to be less than romantic or sexual attraction, in fact it can be stronger than that. It's really up to the individuals involved and how they wish to define it.
