I was researching types of tertiary attraction again and couldn’t find a lot of flags so I made some based on the stuff here and on related flags.
Potential/Bonding attraction- Attraction based on being able forming a hierarchical bond with someone else, where one partner is more dominant/supportive in a non-sexual and non-romantic way. This includes types such as Tutelary (Protective), Cedural (Dependent), and Wechselnd attraction. The flag is based off the Tutelary and Cedural flags. (Flag ID: A flag with 6 horizontal stripes. The outside stripes are thicker than the inside stripes and the middle stripe is very thin. The stripes are purple, blue, black, yellow and green.)
Spiritual attraction- Attraction based on liking someone else’s spirituality and wanting to do spiritual things together. This form of attraction is similar to Social attraction since you want the guidance of another person. Spiritual attraction may also involve feelings of having been in a relationships with someone in a past life. The flag is based off the colors associated with Spiritual attraction. (Flag ID: A flag with 7 horizontal stripes. The stripes are purple, orange, light yellow, and white, and then the same light yellow, orange, and purple.)
Virtudinal/Intangible attraction- Attraction based on wanting to interact with someone else on a non-physical plane (for example, through thoughts). The flag is based on my simplified version of the Presential attraction flag, which I then inverted the colors of to show that Virtudinal/Intangible and Presential attractions are opposites. (Flag ID: A flag with 5 horizontal stripes. The stripes are gray, blue, white, green-blue, and teal.)
