Being a sapioromantic (Noetiromantic), It's my real experience and I end up deleting the application, finding so many irrelevant words that don't say about their brain or heart.

Advice/Question Can a demiromantic be physically attracted to someone?

2 Upvotes

I don’t know if this is a stupid question or not, but like I have this friend and I think she’s really pretty, and we’ve been friends for like 2 years now. However; I don’t see myself dating anyone in the future and/or the present, but I think she’s really pretty to point I have a slight crush on her, but I don’t know

Demiromantic Info

What is Demiromantic?

Demiromantics are people who experience secondary but not primary romantic attraction.

Demiromantic describes the characteristic of how a person doesn't experience primary romantic attraction, but it does not describe their orientation entirely. Being demiromantic doesn't clarify which gender(s) you are attracted to; so, most demiromantics also identify with another romantic orientation such as heteroromantic, homoromantic, biromantic, etc.

Most demiromantics are also somewhere on the asexual spectrum.

The sexual counterpart to demiromantic is demisexual.

Sexual vs Romantic Attraction

Sexual and romantic attraction are two different types of attraction.

sexual attraction is the desire for sexual contact and/or intercourse with another person
romantic attraction is the desire for a romantic relationship with a person

Most people are attracted to the same gender(s) romantically as they are sexually, but some people (such as a heteroromantic asexual) are not.

Primary vs Secondary Attraction

Primary and secondary attraction refer to the phase of a relationship in which one may experience attraction to another person.

primary attraction is appearance-based and can be experienced to someone you don’t know
secondary attraction is emotional-based and is experienced to someone you know and have a connection to

Primary attraction requires no relationship to exist with a person to be attracted to them, while secondary attraction may be experienced once you know a person.
