Romance indifferent aromantics are not [[Romance-repulsed|repulsed]] by romance, but they also do not have any strongly [[Romance Favorable|favorable]] feelings about romance. For some aromantics this means they are indifferent towards the idea of being involved in a romance relationship or engaging in romantic activities themselves, for others it means they are indifferent toward the idea of romance in general. They might engage in romantic activities or a romantic relationship because someone else is romantically attracted to them, typically someone who is already a [[Queerplatonic Relationship|queerplatonic]] or sexual partner, but they themselves have no strong feelings one way or the other about romance. |
