Alterous attraction is a form of emotional attraction. It describes a feeling that is not necessarily platonic,
but also is not romantic in nature. For some it may be in between romantic and platonic attraction,
and for others it may be completely separate from the romantic/platonic distinction.
An alterous crush is known as a mesh or a hush, although the terms are not widely used. Alterous
attraction is most commonly associated with the color light blue. One who does not experience
alterous attraction may identify as a-alterous, analterous, or nonalterous.
