Queerplatonic Attraction

Queerplatonic Attraction (also known as Quasiplatonic Attraction, Quirkyplatonic Attraction, or Qplatonic Attraction) is a form of attraction experienced mainly, but not exclusively, by a-spec people. It is characterized by a desire to have a queerplatonic relationship with someone in particular. It can also be used as an umbrella term for any attraction that bends the rules for telling apart romantic attraction from non-romantic attraction. Queerplatonic attraction can be very similar to platonic attraction and alterous attraction. For some people these types of attraction greatly overlap and they do not make any distinction between them. For others they may feel like their is a clear distinction between some or all of these feelings. Some people consider queerplatonic attraction as having platonic attraction towards someone while desiring a relationship with the commitment level of a romantic relationship. For other queerplatonic attraction is defined as a more intense version of platonic attraction, although these definitions aren't true for all people.

An queerplatonic crush is most commonly called a squish (the same a platonic crush), and is less commonly called a plush or a squash. Someone one has a queerplatonic relationship with is most commonly called a queerplatonic partner (QPP). Aesthetic attraction is most commonly associated with pink and yellow. One who does not experience aesthetic attraction may identify as aqueerplatonic, though one does not need to feel queerplatonic attraction to be in a queerplatonic relationship.
