Revision as of 17:41, 7 June 2022
Quaromantic is an aromantic identity when one feels strong alterous and/or exteramo attraction in place of where romantic attraction would be (like if there was a hole of where romantic feelings would be but it was filled in with strong alterous and/or exteramo feelings to replace what was never there). Those who are quaromantic desire emotional closeness with others in a way that is not romantic but more than platonic.
The pronunciation is "kwah-row-man-tic". Quaro ("kwah-row") for short.
Etymology
