Pseudoromantic or sensromantic was coined by Miraheze user JayZaPL by making this page you're reading right now, along with it's flag. It was based and inspired on the term pseudosexual, as the autor of this label and attraction realized that they felt like that, but not only in a sexual context but in a romantic context as well. They didn't find an identity that described that situation or feeling, so they made this for it. |

Pseudoromantic is an aromantic spectrum microlabel describing individuals who experience a non-romantic attraction(s) which mimics or borders on romantic attraction.
Pseudoromantic individuals experience strong attraction (such as aesthetic attraction, sensual attraction, or sexual attraction) which mimics romantic attraction, often by inducing romantic feelings. Despite this they lack the intrinsic desire to engage in romantic acts with that individual. The label pseudoromantic may fall under the green stripe aromantic umbrella.
Some common pseudoromantic experiences might include:
- Experiencing romantic feelings caused by a tertiary attraction or sexual attraction without a drive to engage in romantic acts with the target of attraction.
- Enjoying or being romantically interested in individuals in erotic content or fantasies but being uninterested in romantic activity with the individuals.
- Experiencing romantic feelings caused by viewing or otherwise sensing an individual but lacking romantic attraction towards the individual.
