Frayromantic

Frayromantic (also known as Ignotasromantic) is a romantic orientation defined as when someone only experiences romantic attraction towards those that they are not deeply connected with, and lose that attraction as they get to know the person.

It is an orientation on the Aro Spectrum, and more broadly, the A-Spectrum. Frayromantic can be described as being "the opposite of Demiromantic".

Frayromantic can be a romantic orientation on its own or can combined with other orientations. For example, one could be Frayromantic and Homoromantic, meaning that when one does experience romantic attraction it's only towards people of the same/similar gender.

Frayromantic people after losing their romantic attraction can still have other attraction, provided they are not also Fray- in that specific area.

Etymology
The prefix fray- comes from the Old English word for "Stranger".

History
Fraysexual was coined alongside Frayromantic by EdensMachine (now deactivated) via tumblr blog MOGAI-Archive (also deactivated) sometime around July 19, 2014.

Flags
Frayromantic used to share its flag with Fraysexual, the flag made by tumblr blog PrideArchive. The term has since redesigned a five striped variant to distinguish from Fraysexual, created on October 18, 2020 by an anonymous Wiki user. It was presumably added directly on the LGBTA Wikia, the uploader being Wikia user AkoiFish.

The redesigned flag was flipped upside down, given an additional grey stripe, and the shades of blue were tinted slightly green to represent the Aromantic Spectrum. Blue and cyan are meant to represent strangers or acquaintances, with blue as the complementary color to red and yellow, which symbolize romantic and platonic love respectively. The white stripe represents a lack of attraction, and the grey stripe represents confusion about romantic attraction.

Coining
