Nonrecipestosexual

Nonrecipestosexual is an ace-spec identity where one's attraction to someone disappears after finding out they do not reciprocate those feelings, but over time the attraction fades back, even when one knows the person still does not feel the same way about them.

For example, A is attracted to B. B makes it clear to A that they do not like them back. Therefore, A's attraction to B disappears. Over time, even though A knows B is still not attracted to them, A's attraction to B fades back, and A is now attracted to B again. This attraction may or may not disappear again.

The romantic version is nonrecipestoromantic.
