The attraction only becomes active when hints or feelings have first been expressed by another person. The attraction is only if you like the person. Alisexual people could have a celebrity crush and the feelings disappear as soon as one gets to know the person, but do not rule out that they will come back and may always dream of a relationship.
The feelings could last for a specific amount of time. For example, they could have feelings as long as they are not in a relationship and are indifferent to those feelings. The need for sexual activities but indifferent and/or disinterested in sex. Feelings can come when one doesn't know someone and leave when getting to know each other and coming back, with a connection.
