Hm okay I see what you mean with this. I guess in part it's a question of frequency (how many people who feel romantic attraction wouldn't want to use Romantic as a category, how many people who don't feel romantic attraction/don't know what kind of attraction they feel would want to use Romantic as a category)...?? And I guess friendship doesn't have to mean one party can't have romantic feelings toward another person, if we're using the Romantic/romantic distinction. Also ideally I'd like for there not to be Any jumping down someone's throat in general lol

Sigh I think I generally would like to divorce the meaning of certain actions that are romance-coded from romantic intent, at least for the people involved. So kissing someone but without romantic intent would be non-romantic no matter how romance-coded the action is...??

Individuals using qpr to mean romantic feelings non-sexual is, I don't understand the intent, but if they feel this term applies better - sure. Also I can't open the first link I think it wants to redirect me to dashboard??
