A type of grey-romantic who only experiences romantic attraction after developing an emotional connection beforehand. Demiromantics do not experience primary romantic attraction, but they are capable of secondary romantic attraction. The sexual counterpart to demiromantic is demisexual. Demiromantic people may also prefix a gender orientation to the label, as in "Demi-heteroromantic".
He's cute, but I'm demiromantic so I need to get to know him really well to know if I want a romantic relationship with him.
Everyone: Is talking about hot people they have a crush on and celebrity crushes
Me: *cries in demiromantic* I can't feel that way about people, so if I were to meet Leonardo DiCaprio, I could possibly develop a crush on him

Demiromantic
The definition is blurry but mostly people who only feel romantic attraction towards someone when some sort of bond is formed
(When I say the definition is blurry, I mean it varies from who you ask, there's no certain way to be demiromantic)
P1: I'd definitely be romantic with someone I just met
A romantic orientation. Demiromantics are only attracted to others after forming a strong bond beforehand, and feel no romantic attraction until this has been achieved. In other words, you won't find them on a blind date.
"I used to think I was aro, but then I fell in love with one of my oldest friends, and discovered demiromanticism!"
