Changed wording in third and fourth paragraphs to be more respectful towards loveless aros, more respectful of individual's self-identification, and accurate wrt the meaning of "aplatonic" and "nonamorous".

Line 4:
Being aromantic does not mean that one is unable to experience sexual attraction. An aromantic person can have any sexual orientation. Many aromantics use the [[Split Attraction Model (SAM)|split attraction model]] to express this difference in sexual and romantic orientation. For example, a heterosexual aromantic person is sexually attracted to people of another gender, but is not romantically attracted to them. Some aromantics are also [[asexual]], meaning they do not feel sexual attraction as well; they may identify as [[aroace]].
A common misconception is
Some aromantic people may enter or seek out romantic relationships despite that lack of attraction,
Aromantic can also be used as an umbrella term, referring to anyone on the [[Aromantic Spectrum|aromantic spectrum]].
