TENDFERIC/TENDFEROIC ATTRACTION
Tendferic or otherwise known as tendferoic attraction is a type of tertiary attraction, this term describes the desire for a deep closeness, connection and fellowship with someone in a way that does not encompass or have any ties to romantic attraction, platonic attraction or platonic friendship, it is often described as a queer in nature form of attraction.Tendferic attraction is a tertiary attraction that describes a feeling that is completely separate from platonic and romantic attraction. it feels like an indescribably queer kind of love, this attraction may feel fond, gentle and/or tender, desiring a casual closeness. it may feel somber, toned down, softened. this attraction can feel complicated or complex in nature, often feeling hard to describe and feeling inseparable from the person one is attracted to.flags can be used interchangeably, the wavy flags are to represent the queerness, how intangible, abstract, hard to define this attraction is yet how strong the emotion is.
QUEERTENDFERIC RELATIONSHIP & PARTNER
Queertendferic relationship/partner, or abbreviated as QTR/QTP, is a term much like queerplatonic relationship(QPR) without platonic or romantic ties nor connotations. it may display itself as a friend-type or romantic-type relationship from an outsiders point of view depending on the person but is not platonic nor romantic in nature.some abbreviation terms of endearment you can call your partner are; qtpie, qtip and qutie.
other abbreviations are; qtp/qtr and qtendfer(o)ic relationship. just like the term of attraction, tendferoic can be used instead of tendferic if preferred.flags can be used interchangeably, if you want to use one for QTR and the other for QTP, that is totally fine and allowed.

REASONS FOR CREATION & EXTRA
this term was made as I was uncomfortable with how QPRs are tied to platonic attraction and friendship in various ways that as an aplatonic person, it felt uncomfortable to use and identify with, every meaning I had read I had felt no connection to so I decided to create a similar term that doesn't feel as though you need that form of attraction or make anyone feel labeled by the word 'platonic' in QPR. this is in no way trying to replace the terms queerplatonic or qplatonic relationship/partner, I created this term to coexist with it for whomever necessary. both can be used by a singular person but they are seperate and not interchangeable.Tertiary attraction describes forms of attraction besides romantic and sexual attractions, or besides physical and emotional.Tendferic as an orientation label may be used in combination with a prefix, such as bi-, homo-, or demi-. It may also be used as a complete orientation label without a prefix. Someone with an Tendferic orientation may use other orientation labels to describe other attractions, if they experience other attraction orientations and choose to identify with them. a tendferic crush would be called a flush.Tendferic attraction can be experienced with other forms of attraction. it can feel muddled with other forms of attraction that someone may also have. this attraction is not meant to be seen as another form of alterous, platonic, exteramo, solaic, adornic nor queerplatonic attraction and is seperate in it's own way while still being a form of attraction. this attraction can be displayed by actions like parallel play.
