Demiromanticspike, also known as Exceptional-Demiromantic is a term for someone who is normally demiromantic, and requires a strong emotional connect with someone before feeling romantic attraction. However, they occasionally experience rare cases where they feel romantic attraction without having an emotional connection.
This can be because of preferences or gender or just completely random.
The sexual equivalent is demisexualspike.
