The Roomba Chicken Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 I'm very confused about the true meaning of this word... My understanding of it is that it's an Aromantic person who wants romance, but doesn't that defeat the point of being Aromantic? Apologies if I'm being ignorant! Link to post Share on other sites

Aromantism, like asexuality, is the lack of romantic attraction. Someone who IDs ad Aro can still desire that type of relationship, even if they don't experience that type of attraction.

Aaa thank you! May I ask, if you choose to ID with Cupioromantic, would you be able to call yourself Aro when referring to your romantic attraction? Just if you prefer the word Aromantic instead of Cupioromantic ! Link to post Share on other sites

Orianaro Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Whooooa this makes so much sense to me. I think I might be cupioromantic... but yeah I still like aromantic as a label better. Link to post Share on other sites
ShotoTodoroki Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 I am a Cupioromantic which means that I desire romantic love, but basically can only feel platonic and other forms of love... I don’t know if this applies to anyone else, but there is this one person at my school who comes around and gives surprise hugs... I love hugs, but I don’t like surprise hugs... I kinda feel like my space has been violated... for me, hugs are like kisses... I don’t know if this is something else completely... but outer than that, I do identify as Cupioromantic, which makes me sad at times... but... you can’t change you...
