Disakoiromantic [dis-a-koi-ro-man-tic] is a romantic orientation on the aromantic spectrum. Someone who is disakoiromantic may experience the want to feel romantic attraction from someone else onto themselves, but are unable to reciprocate it back due to being only able to feel platonic/aesthetic/physical attraction, or being romance-repulsed, or just being aromantic in general. This does not mean that they cannot be in a relationship with said person(s).
Some things disakoiromantics may experience:
- Fantasizing about being in a romantic relationship with someone, but when presented with someone who likes them, are unable to give back those romantic feelings. (Though they may still feel aesthetic/platonic/physical attraction to them.)
- Being unable to reciprocate, or give back, romantic feelings to someone who romantically likes them, even if they try really hard to.
- Feeling only aesthetic, physical, or platonic attraction
Disakoiromantic can be considered to be near the exact opposite of lithromantic/akoiromantic (which is where it got most of its name from.)
This romantic orientation can be matched with other romantic and sexual orientations. Someone who is disakoiromantic can also be homoromantic, heteromantic, biromatic, aromatic, etc. It can also be matched with sexual orientations. As long as it is who you are, it is valid and can be matched with it.
The sexual counterpart to disakoiromantic is disakoisexual.
