'''Aplatonic''', abbreviated '''Apl''' (pronounced as "apple") is an identity on the [[Aplatonic Spectrum|aplatonic spectrum]] that is used most commonly by [[A-Spec|a-spec]] individuals who do not experience [[Platonic Attraction|platonic attraction]], or by those who do not relate to the concept of platonic love.
The term has also been used by [[neurodivergent]] [[Aromantic|aromantics]] and traumatized aro
Aplatonic does ''not'' refer to someone who simply "doesn't have friends" or "doesn't want friends", although either of these may also be true for an aplatonic individual, rather it describes someone who does not experience "platonic crushes" or "[[squish]]es" like some a-spec individuals do. Some aplatonic individuals may still have strong platonic bonds (though not all desire strong platonic relationships) or have a general desire for friendships, however they never experience a strong desire to be friends with someone in particular, or feel as though the term "love" can be applied to the relationship.

==Flag==
The earliest remaining record of the purple, blue, and green aplatonic flag is a submission to the now-deactivated pride-flags-for-us Tumblr blog somtime before December 30, 2014.<ref>[
The colors are the inverse of yellow, pink, and brown, colors that are typically used to represent friendship. White represents how an aplatonic individuals can still be [[Allosexual|allosexual/alloromantic]], a reference to the white stripe on the [[asexual]] and [[aromantic]] flags. Cream was used instead of pure white to make the flag more visually appealing.
