What about a frayromantic and a cupioromantic story. The cupioromantic would be fine dating or getting into some sort of QPR or QPP with any of their friends, however at the same time the cupioro feels insecure about getting into a relationship, partnership, wavership, or any kind of QPR/QPP without experiencing any kind of romo attrac at all to their potential partner.
The frayromantic and the cupioromantic both come into eachother’s lives. The frayromantic initally experiences the involuntary primary romo attrac to the cupioro. However, as the frayro and cupioro form a bond (emotional and friendship) the frayro’s romo feelings for the cupioro fade. Frayro knows how Cupioro feels about a potential relationship, however Frayro is struggling to accept themself and their fading romantic attraction. Frayro is struggling to accept their frayromanticsm and how they cannot keep their romantic attraction.
Cupioro and Frayro connect over how it’s ok to want a romantic relationship without experiencing romantic attraction, and how both of them accepted that *if* they were in a QPP of some sort, neither of them would require their partner experience romo attrac towards them, which is an amatonormative and arophobic standard anyway.
I see so much stuff about “cupioros and lithros” but what about frayros. Lithros and frayros both experience involuntary, primary romantic attraction, and then it goes away. Frayros don’t deserve to be left out of the conversation.
