'''Callistic''' is a term for [[aromantic]] people that can be used to describe their ideal relationship. Callistic describes aromantic people who do not want a [[Queerplatonic Relationship|queerplatonic]] relationship, a life defining friendship, or anything similar. Some callistic aros have or want platonic bonds, but some might not. Callistic aros are happy with the idea of living alone for the rest of their lives. They likely don't experience any type of [[Tertiary Attraction|tertiary attractions]]. The term is similar to [[aplatonic]] and [[nonamorous]]. |
