The aromantic spectrum, abbreviated as aro-spec, refers to romantic orientations that are aromantic or are closely related to aromanticism when placed on a spectrum ranging from aromantic to alloromantic. It is also used by people whose aromantic identities are conditional, unreliable, or atypical to societal expectations, and by people who simply do not wish to label it further.[1] Identities under the aromantic umbrella are closely connected as part of a broad community.

Identities under the umbrella
Aromantic
- Main article: Aromantic
Aromantic, often shortened to aro, describes people who do not experience romantic attraction,[2][3] or experience little-to-no romantic attraction.[4] One of the meanings of the A in LGBTQIA+ is Aromantic.[2] Aromanticism is a romantic orientation and may involve forms of attraction that are not necessarily romantic, or interests in relationships that are intimate in other ways. There is no singular experience of aromanticism.[4]
The aromantic spectrum, also known as "aro-spec", ranges from aromantic to alloromantic, referring to people who regularly and consistently experience romantic attraction.[2] People within the aromantic spectrum are part of a community that has much in common. They may use the label aromantic as a close fit for their experiences or use other labels that further describe them.[4]
Aroflux
Aroflux is an identity that operates along the aromantic/alloromantic spectrum.[5] People who identify as aroflux may experience their romantic orientation as fluctuating between experiencing and not experiencing romantic attraction, or that attraction is being experienced to alternating or changing degrees.[6]
Demiromantic
- Main article: Demiromantic
Demiromantic describes people who do not experience romantic attraction until they have formed a deep emotional connection with someone,[7][8] according to the most common definition.[8] Other definitions of this romantic orientation are only experiencing limited romantic attraction,[8] or falling somewhere on a spectrum between aromantic and romantic; the latter definition overlaps with one for grayromantic.[9]
