Is it Possible to Be Somewhat Grey- / Demi-romantic?
Post Body

I often think about my romantic attractions to my sexuality, which I am much more sure of.

In terms of sexuality, it's clear. I'm boring/straight, and despite having never had sex with anyone yet, I know what my preferences are, and what genders I'm attracted to. I just know that I'm not attracted to other guys sexually. And I can easily find strangers sexually attractive.

Now, for romantic attraction, I have definitely felt it. There has only been one time when I was 100% sure what it was and that I felt it, and it was about a week ago. There are a few other times that could have been romantic attraction, but not sure. Those have all been towards close friends. So, either greyromantic, because it's rare, or demisexual, because it's only towards close friends. However, I'm not against being romantically attracted to strangers the way I'm against finding men sexually attractive.

With my sexual attraction, it's clear to whom I can possibly be attracted. End of story. But with romantic attraction, I seem to have a preference for demiromantic, but it's not as clear cut, as it's less of a knee-jerk reaction of "no, I'd never experience attraction to [this class of people]" the way it is for my sexual attraction.

I'm probably just rambling and not making sense at this point, but if this actually does make sense to anyone, let me know, is this a thing?
