As you can see below, there's tons of romantic orientations! In the last chapters I put few of them. I know if I add all of these romantic orientations, I think I might have too many chapters and I'll have to make another guide (Wattpad books are maximum 200 chapters, if I remember correctly). If you're part of any of these orientations and wish to see it in another chapter, please tell me and I'll do it right away! Thank you :)

Someone can be both alterous & romantic &/or platonic & can have varying degrees on attraction, ultimately feel discomfort / unease / or just a sense of inaccuracy in calling it wholly romantic or platonic.
