    This can either be because one finds the typical way of describing romantic orientation ("I am romantically attracted to x", "I like to romantically kiss x", or "I am repulsed by x") is not applicable to their sense of identity, or because one feels the current vocabulary within the LGBT+ community cannot accurately describe their sense of romantic orientation, or because one simply does not wish to describe it. A pomoromantic person may or may not feel romantic attraction, but is not interested in specifying whether they feel it, or to whom. They do not want or need a specific label.
