Non-limerent is one of the precursors to Aromantic.

Limerence is what is sometimes referred to as "being in love" with someone, as opposed to "loving" someone, it is also sometimes called infatuation.

The term was published in Love and Limerence: The Experience of Being in Love (1979) by Dorothy Tennov. Tennov coined the term Limerence in 1977, it is now an outdated term for feeling romantic attraction. It is unclear whether non-limerent was ever adopted as an identifier or if it remained solely as a descriptor.

Excerpts from the book:

'"The feelings you as nonlimerent may have about another person may include sexual attraction, friendship, and affection"'

'"Nonlimerent" refers to a person who is not limerent at the time. Both the limerent and the non-limerent states tend me be sustained. The most frequently encountered patterns were limerents who had always been in love with someone or wanting love, since early age, and nonlimerents who simply could not remember being any other way.'

'"Do you know, I think that both Tim and I were non-limerents and that that's why we got along as well as we did. If we had been able to talk about it in these terms instead of beating around the bush like that, it would have been better, but probably both of us were afraid to come out and say we did not 'love'"' (definition source)
