Gray-Asexual: A person who only occasionally, or rarely experiences sexual attraction.
Romantic Orientation: Who a person wishes to form a romantic relationship with.
Monoromantic: A person romantically attracted to one gender, includes heteromantic and homoromantic.

Some people's romantic orientation doesn't correlate with their sexual orientation, this is completely normal. Being romantically attracted to one gender and sexually attracted to another doesn't disqualify your identity.
Sexual and Romantic attraction have the potential to be fluid. It is ok to change how you identity, and it is ok to change your sexuality. Just because today you are exclusively attracted to one gender does not mean that is how you will always feel.
That does not make it a phase, that just makes you human.
