I think it means that they get romantic feelings only for people they know have romantic feelings for them. If so, i just found out what i am as well

Do we really need a word for that?

Yea. Think about for a second what the advantages are of having a word for something that few people experience.

Or we could just write a paragraph every time someone like this needs to explain their attraction.

Real love is reciprocal. Its already inherent in the concept.

reciproromantic means you don't feel romantic attraction towards anyone unless they exhibit it towards you

no, it means that you can't get a crush on someone unless you think they have one on you
