==Queerplatonic Attraction==
[[Queerplatonic Attraction|Queerplatonic attraction]] is a form of [[Tertiary Attraction|tertiary attraction]] experienced mainly, but not exclusively, by a-spec people. It is defined as the desire to be in a queerplatonic relationship with someone in particular. Queerplatonic attraction can be very similar to [[Platonic Attraction|platonic attraction]] and [[Alterous Attraction|alterous attraction]]. For some people these types of attraction greatly overlap.
Someone who does not experience queerplatonic attraction and/or does not desire queerplatonic relationships may call themself aqueerplatonic. Queerplatonic attraction is not a requirement for a having or wanting a QPR. Some aqueerplatonic people may still want or have queerplatonic relationship, they just do not get squishes. Others who are aqueerplatonic might not desire a queerplatonic relationship. They may also identify as [[nonamorous]].
