    Revision as of 20:30, 11 September 2021 by wikia:lgbta>Moonthegrayjedi (I changed ‘romance positive’ to ‘romance favorable’ since they mean different things. Minor edit.)

    Romance Ambivalent is a term used by aromantic individuals to refer to the fact that they have mixed feelings towards romance. Romance ambivalence refers to anyone who does not fit into the categories of romance favorable, indifferent, or repulsed. This could be for any number for reasons, common reasons being that one's feelings about romance change frequently, so they might be favorable or indifferent one day and then repulsed the next. Their feelings on romance might also change based on the situation. For example, someone might be normally romance indifferent, but if they're in a non-romantic relationship and their partner is romantically attracted to them they might feel romance favorable. The opposite might happen as well, someone could feel romance favorable or indifferent normally, but if their partner is romantically attracted to them they might feel romance repulsed.

    The romance ambivalent flag.

    Romance ambivalence can also stem from internalized arophobia, which can make so the person doesn't know if they're actually romance positive or if any desires to have a romantic relationship are simply based on the fact that they feel that people should want to have a romantic relationship.

    Not all romance ambivalent people are aromantic. There some alloromantic people who are ambivalent about the idea of romance as well.
