The term queerplatonic originated in [[Aromantic Spectrum|aro-spec]] communities to describe the type of relationship many [[Aromantic|aromantics]] form or desire. However one does not have to identify as [[A-Spec|a-spec]], or as [[queer]] to be in a queerplatonic relationship. A queerplatonic relationship can be monogamous or [[polyamorous]], involving more than two people. If someone in a queerplatonic relationship experiences romantic or sexual attraction, or both, they might pursue a traditionally romantic relationship at the same time as a queerplatonic relationship. |
