1. (sexual diversity) A person who is both aegoromantic and aegosexual; a person who enjoys the idea of romantic and sexual relationships in movies or any kind of content, but doesn't desire them at all in real life (in practice an AroAce - an asexual aromantic).
An Aego AroAce will probably enjoy reading NSFW stories and all that, but will not want to do that IRL.
An Oriented AroAce is an AroAce person who identifies with another orientation label in a nonromantic, nonsexual way. For example, Oriented AroAce’s may identify as a Pan AroAce, Bi AroAce, Lesbian AroAce, or Gay AroAce, etc. Other attractions that an Orientated AroAce May feel could be: Alterous Attraction, Aesthetic Attraction, Emotional Attraction, Platonic Attraction, QueerPlatonic Attraction, Sensual Attraction (eg hugs from ppl are nice), etc.
Koko: “Hey, btw I’m Orientated AroAce. That means I still don’t feel romantic and sexual attraction, but I feel other attractions. I feel Aesthetic, Alterous, Platonic, and Qplatonic”.
Kai: “Ah cool, I’ve never heard the term until now. Which way do you swing on the non-romo non-sexual attrac scale?”
Koko: “Oh, I’m Pan AroAce”
Kai: “I’ll always support you”.

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."

when you think someone likes you (they dont) because you are overthinking stuff as an aroace person and trying to make sure no one asks you out/are paranoid
"do they like me, or do I have Aroace Panic"
