Alisexual

Alisexual/Aliromantic is a sexual orientation on the asexual spectrum. Someone who is alisexual is attracted to strangers, like acquaintances, but the attraction is lost on contact or after getting to know each other. The attraction only becomes active when hints or feelings have first been expressed by another person. The attraction is only if one likes the person and then the attraction is not necessarily always there or may be temporary. This can also mean that one falls in love with the aura, although one does not find or like the personality so attractive. Alisexual people could have a celebrity crush and the feelings can disappear/fade away as soon as one gets to know the person, but do not rule out that they will come back and may always dream of a relationship. It doesn't have to be that you feel sexual attraction in the same way as romantic. the feelings are independent of each other.

The feelings could last for a specific amount of time. For example, they could have feelings as long as they are not in a relationship and are indifferent to those feelings. The need for sexual activities but indifferent and/or disinterested in sex. Feelings can come when one doesn't know someone and leave when getting to know each other and coming back, with a connection.
