Keepromantic is a romantic orientation that describes someone who may gain romantic attraction for another at any pace, but as soon as the feelings are rejected, all romantic attraction and interest disappears. One may lose romantic attraction if a small piece of unreciprocated feelings are shown or implied. One may regain their feelings after a certain period of time, but it is uncommon.[1]
The feelings do not have to be confirmed unreciprocated, one may lose attraction at even the slightest bit of unreciprocation, no matter the relationship.[1]
Being keepromantic may be caused by trauma, but it does not have to be.[1]
This orientation is on the aromantic spectrum.[1]
