'''Pseudoromantic'''
▲Pseudoromantic or sensromantic is a microlabel for individuals on the aromantic spectrum who experience a non-romantic (tertiary) physical and/or emotional attraction which mimics or borders on romantic attraction.
▲These individuals experience strong physical and/or emotional attraction (such as aesthetic attraction, sensual attraction or platonic attraction) to a specific individual(s) which mimics romantic attraction (often by inducing shyness, romantic fantasies or a desire to be closer to the individual). Despite this they lack the intrinsic desire to commit romantic acts with that individual(s) and/or have a romantic relationship with them.
Some common pseudoromantic experiences might include:
* Experiencing
* Enjoying or being romantically interested
* Experiencing
* Experiencing
Pseudoromantic
Pseudoromantic may be similar to aegoromantic, which describes an aromantic individual who feels a disconnect between themselves and the subject of romantic fantasy.
Pseudoromantic may be distinct from various [[quoiromantic]] identities because the pseudoromantic individual is typically aware that they are experiencing an attraction distinct from romantic attraction.
The sexual equivalent is pseudosexual.▼
Pseudoromantic may also be used as a prefix (eg. pseudobiromantic) or as part of an [[angled aroace]] or an [[oriented aroace]] identity.
▲The sexual equivalent to pseudoromantic is [[pseudosexual]].
