Romantic orientation , also called affectional orientation , indicates the sex or gender that a person is most likely to have a romantic relationship with. It is compared to the term sexual orientation . Romantic orientation is based on the idea that sexual attraction is one component of a larger picture. ^[1] For example, although a pansexual person may feel sexually attracted to multiple genders, they may be predisposed to romantic intimacy with females. For asexual people, romantic orientation is often considered a more useful measure of attraction than sexual orientation, ^{[2] [3]} as some are not aromantic .

Other examples of romantic orientation include biromantic , heteroromantic , homoromantic , and panromantic . ^[4]
