Asexuality, that at least I get. I also understand how an asexual person could still be interested in romantic relationships, as emotions can be divorced from sexual attraction.

This whole "only sexually attracted when XYZ condition is met" thing, though, is really something else. XYZ being "romantic feelings exist" isn't any less normal than "having a goatee".

I definitely understand the idea of asexuality and do think it's a real thing. I also understand wanting "romantic" companionship without having sex or feeling sexual attraction.

But all this ridiculous "I'm only attracted to people whose personality I like" or whatever just boggles me. There's just no need at all to put a label on that kind of thing. You like men, you like women, don't discriminate or are open to either gender (or intersex people), or neither. I mean, seems very basic to me. I understand if you are trying to understand why/when you are sexually attracted to certain people, but making a label that clearly mirrors LGBT labels for it just seems cheap and contrived.

It's kind of really hard to determine what your 'true' sexuality is when you're effectively asexual 99.9% of the time and have only ever experienced attraction to 1 or 2 people. It's a very small sample size.
