Community Psychologist & Licensed Clinical TherapistHonestly, sexual orientation and preferences are subjective to the person that's experiencing them. Someone who's aromantic tends to be more focused on just facts and less on the romantic connection, and this kind of thought could be used in a variety of different ways. It's generally not a good idea to try to come up with a black and white term for exactly every sexual identity you can have.
