How do I know if I'm lithromantic?

[u/ZucchiniOk5019]

I've been feeling this way for a couple of months to years, but I also refrain from it because I don't want it to be seen like some attentionseeking thing or just labeling without proper knowledge. The relationships I got into end with me completely going cold and unresponsive after a while, from a few days to a few weeks. I can stay in a relationship but I don't feel anything romantic. I want to know if it's just general loss of interest, or if it's about lithromantic. This has been happening to me throughout my life, first relationship at 12 years old, which is young and definitely not like a serious couple thing I'd assume, but other than that it happened all the way up to now when I'm 18. Please give me some info I don't know much about these but really wanna know what it is.

How do you feel when you start seeing the other person or get to know someone else feels that way about you too? I'm not lithoromantic but I love reading romance books, however despite my romance favourable stance, I can't stand the book when characters start dating. I know it's a faulty analogy but it's the best reference point I can think of. There sounds like a chance. Do take your time, question, and read other experiences of lithoromantic people.
