    No? That’s demisexual. Pansexual is you’re attracted to all (pan- means all) types of people, which is effectively equivalent to bi. Note attraction does not mean you like that person. You don’t even need to know someone to be attracted to them.

        Meh, idk i think they’re two different things. Plenty of people i really like and love but zero sexual attraction. A few people i had great sex with and didn’t like them at all.

        Sure. Sexual orientation is defined as the innate attraction though. It’s the attraction you have to someone you see walking down the street. Obviously the right kind of interactions can overcome this and make someone attracted to someone they weren’t originally attracted to though, or vice versa.
