Abromantic may overlap with [[aroflux]], however the difference is that, generally for aroflux people, when they feel attraction the gender(s) they're attracted to are always the same- the only thing that changes is how they're attracted to them or how intensely they're attracted to them. For abrosexual people, the gender(s) they are attracted to may change. |

Abromantic or abroromantic refers to an individual whose romantic attraction is changing or fluid. It can be changes between any romantic identity, such as monoromantic, multiromantic, alloromantic or aromantic spectrum identities. The gender(s) one is attracted to may change, and the intensity of the attractions may change. While it is possible—and even common—for a person's romantic identity to shift or change in some way throughout their life, an abromantic person's attraction may change more frequently, over the course of hours, days, months, or years. Because of their inconsistent attraction, some abromantic people may not feel compelled to seek out a relationship or may prefer a wavership.
Abromantic may overlap with aroflux, however the difference is that, generally for aroflux people, when they feel attraction the gender(s) they're attracted to are always the same- the only thing that changes is how they're attracted to them or how intensely they're attracted to them. For abrosexual people, the gender(s) they are attracted to may change.
The sexual counterpart to abromantic is abrosexual.
