Nebulous attraction was coined by wiki user |
Nebulous attraction was coined by an anonymous wiki user on April 24, 2021. They coined this term because other terms for attraction didn't quite hit the mark. They often referred to their nonsexual attraction as "the blob;" one nebulous mess composed of many overlapping feelings. They decided to call this type of attraction "nebulous attraction," inspired by the nebularomantic label, while also being accurate in its meaning: the word "nebulous" means "unclear, vague, or ill-defined." |

They considered nonsexual attraction to all be variations of the same thing, with no meaningful differences between them. For example, romantic and platonic attraction and relationships are the same thing, and aren't defined by any clear rules. |

They believed they would understand the differences between attraction types if they were neurotypical, so this term was made with neurodivergent individuals in mind. However, they approve of neurotypical individuals using this term if it is helpful to them. |
