Do Romantics ever not want romance?

And can also go the other way around; romantics may not desire romance, even if they feel romantic attraction 🙂 Same goes for sexuals, who feel sexual attraction, but do not desire sex. Definitely, at least for me. When I think about it too much, I get a little sad because I want the simple romance.
