On fraysexual.

I thought this was a joke when I read it. I had to read it again the next day, and the next.

I googled it. It is not a joke. Reference: https://www.oulgbtq.org/acearo-spectrum-definitions.html

Fraysexual: someone who initially experiences sexual attraction upon meeting someone, but this attraction fades after getting to know them.

I thought we call that "the dating experience". Start off with physical attraction: "Wow. You are cute! Lets talk."

Then you talk. You hang out a little. Just no chemistry and spark. You move on.

There is a flag for that?

I thought that was just...life and social interaction??? There is a whole group for that already. We call them... teenagers?

Checked out that link you provided - wow, talk about analysis paralysis, small wonder that one needs a PhD in gender studies to keep it all straight (pun intended)
