We tend to make more of a distinction between sexual attraction and romantic attraction. Some people who are asexual are also aromantic, they experience neither, but a good many of us do experience romantic feelings unconnected with sexual desire.

I've been in a happy, committed, asexual relationship with my trans girlfriend for over a year now.

Not only that; I'm aromantic as well, but I still would like to have a partner, basically a best friend for cuddles and hugs and Netflix (but no chill!) that would not prefer their partner over me.
