If you feel like you don’t experience romantic attraction the way others do or you prefer to get to know a person really well before feeling romantically attracted to them, you might be demiromantic. For people who identify as demiromantic, falling in love and feeling romantic attraction don’t usually happen until they’ve formed a close bond with someone. We’re here to tell you all about this romantic orientation, its common traits, and how it differs from demisexuality. Exploring your romantic and sexual preferences can seem daunting, but we’re here to help you every step of the way.
Things You Should Know

- Someone who’s demiromantic usually doesn’t feel romantic attraction for people they don’t know and may not experience having crushes that often or at all.
