Romantic orientation refers to the pattern of emotional and romantic attraction a person feels toward others. It describes who someone is drawn to in a romantic sense, which can be influenced by factors such as gender and personal experiences. Common romantic orientations include heteroromantic, homoromantic, biromantic, and panromantic. Unlike sexual orientation, which focuses on sexual attraction, romantic orientation specifically addresses romantic feelings and desires. Some individuals may identify with a specific romantic orientation, while others may feel that their attractions are fluid or change over time. Understanding romantic orientation can help individuals better express their feelings and navigate relationships.
