A person who feels neither sexual nor romantic attraction to anybody - and is therefore aromantic asexual, or 'aroace' - but experiences an attraction which is strong enough to be recognized as an orientation.
There could be, for example, straight, bi, or gay aroaces.
A: "I... think I like you."
B: "Huh? I thought you were aromantic asexual?"
A:"Sure! But that doesn't mean I'm not attracted to people in any way... I'm an oriented aroace, and I think I have a squish (aromantic asexual crush) on you."
