An '''oriented aroace''' is an [[aromantic]] [[asexual]] ([[Aroace|aroace]]) individual who experiences a form of [[Tertiary Attraction|tertiary attraction]], that they feel is significant enough to warrant a place alongside their aroace orientation.
Oriented aroace individuals identify with another orientation label, but in a nonromanticnon[[romantic]], nonsexualnon[[sexual]] way. For example, oriented aroaces may identify as a [[Bisexual|bi]] aroace/bi oriented aroace or [[gay]] aroace/gay oriented aroace. This additional label can be based on any form of nonromanticnon-romantic, nonsexualnon-sexual [[attraction]], such as [[platonic attraction]], [[Sensual Attraction|sensual attraction]], [[aesthetic attraction]], [[Alterous Attraction|alterous attraction]], [[queerplatonic attraction]], etc. or a combination of these.
The term oriented aroace is used to refer to those who are [[suptilic|strictly]] aromantic and asexual. [[Angled Aroace|Angled aroace]] was created for those who are not strictly aromantic and/or asexual but are still aro-spec and ace-spec, such as [[Greyasexual|greyasexualsgreyasexual]]s, [[demisexuals]], [[Greyromantic|greyromanticsgreyromantic]]s, [[Demiromantic|demiromantics]], and other [[Aromantic Spectrum|aro-spec]] and [[Asexual Spectrum|ace-spec]] identities.
==Flag==
The flag was designed by Tumblr user Biaroace on July 11, 2018.<ref>[https://biaroace.tumblr.com/post/175789820577/oriented-aroace-flag-this-flag-is-meant-to Oriented Aro Ace Flag]</ref> It features four horizontal stripes, similar in design to the [[asexual]] flag. The dark blue stripe at the top represents aroaces, grey for affiliation with the wider [[Aromantic Spectrum|aro-spec]] and ace-spec communities, white for the orientation apart from aro and ace, and teal green for nonromantic, nonsexual attraction.
