That's fair.
Lithromantic: someone who feels romantic attraction but doesn't want the feelings reciprocated. Hypothetically, I would have suggested this term to Blu if I had to put a label to what they are experiencing since I wasn't aware of orchidromantic previously. The reason for that is because they had feelings for their friend until they became a couple (aka when they had their feelings reciprocated.).
Some ace people decide to attach labels like sex-favorable, sex-repulsed, sex-indifferent to their identity. You can also attach that to romance, touch, friendship and a variety of different things. If repulsed, favorable, or indifferent isn’t something that fits, there’s a few other options. Ambivalent is when your feelings towards the thing it is describing is complicated or different depending on who is involved or different depending on certain actions (for example a touch-ambivalent might be ok with hugs from their partner, but dislike cuddles or not like touch unless it’s from a specific person) . An oscillating stance is when your opinion about the thing it describes changes over time. Using Blu as an example again, hypothetically I could maybe suggest that Blu has an oscillating stance towards romance.
However, Blu understands how they feel better than any of us so if they believe they are orchidromantic then that’s how they should identify. It’s just not a term I knew of before and I’m glad I was able to learn about it. :)
