一

Lithromantic (also called akoiromantic, akioromantic, or lithoromantic) is a romantic orientation on the aromantic spectrum. Someone who is lithromantic may experience romantic attraction but does not want it reciprocated. The lithromantic individuals may be uncomfortable at the thought of someone being romantically attracted to them, or they may lose their romantic feelings if they learn it's reciprocated. As such, lithromantics do not feel compelled to seek out a romantic relationship. Like with any romantic orientation, lithromantics can have any sexual orientation. Some things lithromantics may experience:

▪︎Fantasizing about being in a romantic relationship with someone, but preferring the relationship in theory rather than in reality

▪︎Feeling romantic attraction that fades upon being reciprocated

▪︎Feeling romantically attracted to someone, but losing interest in the potential partner/relationship when it becomes a reality

▪︎Feeling discomfort when being in a romantic relationship with one they're romantically attracted to

sooooo this is gonna be long be ready

on one hand: i only gain romantic attraction to smb if: ik them well, AND if theres a chance they like me back. never had a hallway crush and never had a crush on some1 who hates me. for example i was talking to my bsf (now my ex gf and like mortal enemy phew she was evil as shit) and she was hinting she liked me which caused me to have a MASSSIVEE crush on her to the point i couldnt stfu about it.

on the other hand: if someone shows that they like me back, i get scared as hell that ill be awkward or weird (inferiority and superiority complex combo to the rescue) and i play it off until the crush fades. its not out of "ew y do u like me thats so weird" but moreso an irrational fear of being seen as weird or clumsy in romantic contexts (bc of my HUGE lack of knowledge when it comes to romance)

other info: i LOVE the idea of being in a relationship but it also repulses me at the same time. i wanna be close enough with someone to say anything and do anything and feel understood and loved and know that im physically and emotionally worthy of beimg somebody's number one, but it also scares me in a way. also my experience with relationships have kinda scared me off from dating all together. ive had 2 evil ex gfs (i promise im not the common denominator i just have shit taste) and an ex bf who reciprocated not a THING to me (not sexually ew) so dating just seems sorta pointless so me now. like if my average experience with romance is the average overall, i dont want it.
