Nideromantic

Nideromantic is a microlabel on the aromantic spectrum defined as being capable of feeling a general desire for a romantic relationship with someone but incapable of having urges for specific romantic activities.

The prefix "nide-" can also be applied to other types of attraction (e.g., nidesexual). It can be thought of as the "opposite" of the prefix "bellus-", e.g., nideromantic can be thought of as the opposite of bellusromantic.

Distinguishing
While the prefix "nide-" in general can make distinguishing the type of attraction that one is feeling more difficult, there are ways to distinguish nideromantic attractions from general desires for other types of relationships:
 * One derives romantic enjoyment from engaging in romantic activities done in a romantic context with someone whom one is nideromantically attracted to.
 * One eagerly anticipates romantic activities that someone whom is romantically attracted to suggests, and this enjoyment is dependent on interpreting the person's suggestion as romantic, e.g., reinterpreting the intended nature of the activity as something else rather than romantic would cause one to lose interest in that activity.
 * Some people's romantic attractions are only constrained by nide in certain situations (e.g., a person may be capable of feeling any romantic attraction that could be felt by either a demiromantic person or a nideromantic person but incapable of having desires for engaging in specific romantic activities with strangers). In this case, the person would know for sure what romantic attraction feels like and how to distinguish it from other types of attraction without relying on having urges for specific activities.

History

Etymology
