Llumromantic is a romantic orientation on the aromantic spectrum in which someone experiences romantic attraction without wanting this attraction to be reciprocated, or wanting a stronger bond with those they are attracted to, but if that bond becomes stronger, the romantic attraction may disappear. A llumromantic individual may feel romantic attraction and want it to be reciprocated, but only when it is towards someone for whom they did not feel an initial attraction to, or that attraction was very slight, even if only after having created a sentimental bond.
The sexual equivalent is llumsexual.
History
The term was coined by two Wiki users through the account Twisted.Koebi on September 11, 2021. The flags were created by the same account on the same day.[1] It was originally coined as lumromantic; however, the name was changed alongside its sexual counterpart.[2]
Flag
The llumromantic flag has six stripes. The first stripe represents platonic love, the second stripe represents closeness, the third stripe represents spirituality, the fourth stripe represents comfort, the fifth stripe represents sensitivity, and the last stripe represents romance.
Etymology
The prefix llum- comes from the word 'epiphyllum,' which is the name of a plant.
