Mixtaromantic (which can be shortened to Mixtaro) is a romantic orientation on the aromantic spectrum. It describes the feeling of being unable to differentiate between romantic attraction and any other type of attraction except sexual attraction. A Mixtaromantic individual may be unable to differentiate between two or more types of attraction. For example, a Mixtaromantic individual may be unable to differentiate between romantic and aesthetic attraction, or romantic, aesthetic, and platonic attraction.
Mixtaromantic can be an orientation on its own or be combined with other romantic attractions, for example, one can be mixtaromantic and omniromantic, meaning when the individual does feel romantic attraction, it is to all genders but with a preference.
The sexual counterpart to mixtaromantic is mixtasexual.
