An '''oriented aroace''' is an [[aromantic]] [[asexual]] ([[Aroace|aroace]]) person who experiences a different form of attraction that is neither romantic nor sexual, but is significant enough to warrant a place alongside their aroace orientation. They will identify with another orientation label in a nonromantic, nonsexual way. For example, oriented aroaces may identify as a [[Bisexual|bi]] aroace or [[gay]] aroace. Some oriented aroaces base their additional label on a form of nonromantic, nonsexual [[attraction]], such as [[platonic attraction]], [[sensual attraction]], [[aesthetic attraction]], [[alterous attraction]], [[
The term oriented aroace is used to refer to those who are 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/or ace-spec, such as [[Greyasexual|greyasexuals]], [[demisexuals]], [[Greyromantic|greyromantics]], [[Demiromantic|demiromantics]], and other [[Aromantic Spectrum|aro-spec]] and [[Asexual Spectrum|ace-spec]] identities.

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.
