Abroromantic (sometimes spelled "abromantic") is a romantic orientation that describes someone whose romantic attraction is fluid or changing. This means that the way an abroromantic person experiences romantic attraction, including the gender(s) they are attracted to and the intensity of that attraction, can shift over time.

Here's a breakdown of what that entails:

Fluidity: The core of abroromanticism is its changeable nature. This isn't simply having different attractions at different times; it's the orientation itself that is in flux.

Shifting Attractions: An abroromantic person might experience periods of being attracted to men, then women, then multiple genders, then perhaps no one at all romantically. These shifts can be unpredictable.

Variable Intensity: Not only can the gender(s) of attraction change, but the strength of the romantic feelings can also fluctuate. Someone might go from feeling intensely romantically attracted to feeling little to no romantic attraction.

Timeframes Vary: The frequency of these shifts is different for everyone. Changes can occur over hours, days, weeks, months, or even years.

Abroromantic vs. Similar Terms:

Bisexual/Pansexual: While bisexual and pansexual individuals are attracted to more than one gender, their attraction is generally consistent. An abroromantic person's attraction changes rather than being constant across multiple genders. They might not always be attracted to more than one gender at the same time.

Abrosexual: Abrosexual refers to fluidity in sexual attraction, not romantic attraction. A person can be both abroromantic and abrosexual, but these are separate aspects of attraction.

Aroflux: Aroflux describes someone whose experience with romantic attraction fluctuates in intensity, sometimes feeling strong attraction (alloromantic) and sometimes feeling little to no attraction (aromantic). While there can be overlap, abroromantic specifically includes changes in the gender(s) one is attracted to.

In essence, being abroromantic means that your romantic orientation isn't fixed and can undergo various shifts throughout your life.
