Aloha, mon amigo!

I have returned from the depths!

Not really, the depths are difficult and slippery to get out of, but I'm trying!

Anyway, I humbly request a continuation of "Dating" — it's positively adorable!

I give you this emoji as payment if you accept my request: 💝

Please and thank you! 💖💖💖

Hi friend, hope things are starting to go better. Glad you found another wholesome series you like :)

Part 1, Part 2

Dating, Part 3

Avery closed their fists and tried to swallow their racing pulse, as they strolled down the forest trail. They were going to finally do it.

They were going to ask Shiloh out on a date.

They opened their mouth. They took in a breath. They –

“Hey, would it be okay if I kissed you?” Shiloh asked.

Avery tripped, and went sprawling into the gravel and mud.

“Avery!” Shiloh cried. They grabbed their friend’s shoulders to help them back up. “Oh jeez, I’m sorry. Fuck. I shouldn’t ask weird things like that without warning.”

“It’s” – Avery tried to remember how to breathe – “It’s quite alright.”

“God, I feel so dumb right now.” Shiloh brushed little rocks off their jacket. “Just forget I said anything.”

“Hold on,” Avery said. “I, um – where is this coming from?”

“It’s stupid.” Shiloh pulled their hands back, and looked to the side. “It’s just . . . I’ve never really dated before. You know, being aro and all. And I thought, well. If I’m going to start now, it’d be nice to have a little experience.”

“Oh.”

“It’s okay though. I realize it’s a really weird thing to ask of a friend.”

“I think it’s a good idea.”

Shiloh paused, and slowly met Avery’s eyes. “Yeah?”

“Your, uh, your logic tracks. And since you’re already comfortable with me, might as well . . .”

Shiloh raised their brows, and smiled. “You’d really do that?”

God that smile was cute. “Sure.”

The two of them stood there for a moment, and laughed awkwardly when they realized in unison that someone was going to have to make the first move.

With a small (nervous?) breath, Shiloh stepped forward. Angled Avery’s chin.

They bent down, and lit Avery’s blood on fire.

When they pulled away, Avery wanted to snatch their face back and never let go. “That was . . .”

“Yeah.” Shiloh beamed. “Really interesting.”

Avery blinked. “Just interesting?”

“Ah, don’t get me wrong, you’re great at it.” Shiloh stretched their arms, looking relaxed. “It was actually pretty close to what I’d imagined. Something . . . pleasant. And comforting. Don’t you think?”

Pleasant?

Could Shiloh seriously not feel the molten lava that was currently coursing through Avery’s veins?

But no. Of course not. All the little crush symptoms that Avery had harbored for months – the butterflies, the endless daydreaming, the nervous exhilaration at just thinking about them. Shiloh might never share in those things.

Avery knew what it meant that Shiloh was aro, in the abstract. But in practice?

Am I really, truly okay with dating someone who doesn’t love me the same way I love them?

“Do you want to do it again?” Shiloh asked.

They flashed that adorable grin, and it was paired with that intoxicating look of adventure in their eyes.

Avery closed their fists once again. “Yes.”

Because if the someone in question was Shiloh, then Avery’s answer would always be yes.

Part 4

Some Cupio pride!

Cupiosexual, Cuprioromantic

[cupio-culture-is]

Hey, here’s another one of those “[Blank] Culture is” blogs. This blog is for those under the cupio umbrella, which includes

Cupiosexual

Cupioromantic

Cupioplatonic

Cupioqueerplatonic

and Cupiosensual

Cupio- means that you don’t feel a kind of attraction, but you still want a relationship that is normally connected to that kind of attraction. For example, I’m cupioromantic, so I don’t feel romantic attraction but I still want to be in a romantic relationship.

I'm Tangerine, the mod of this blog. I’m part of a quoigenic system and I am cupioromantic, cupiosensual, and possibly cupiosexual. I use rot/kit/that/they pronouns, though I am fine with any.

Here are some rules for this blog:

1. Start each ask with something like “cupio culture is” or “cupioplationic culture is”, you can also be more specific, like “trans cupiosexual culture is”

2. No NSFW stuff, I am a minor

3. Don’t send in asks just to hate, they will be ignored

My Ace/Aro Journey

I've always struggled with relationships. Anytime I've been in one, it's always felt more like an obligation than something I actually wanted to do.

"I have to do this. Everyone gets into a relationship eventually."

"My friends are in relationships. I have to be in too."

"I guess having sex is fun. I just haven't found the right person yet."

These thoughts constantly ran through my mind during my teen years. I always thought I just didn't find the right person. That I just needed to wait. Not once did I consider that I may just not have that sort of attraction.

Recently this year I've finally been thinking of myself on the Ace/Aro spectrum. I've been putting myself out there as Ace/Aro and trying to just focus on myself. Focus on what I really want in life and what I want out of the relationships I have.

"I don't have to date someone to be happy."

"I can be single and not crave affection."

"Sex actually isn't fun for me."

I've finally have changed my mindset to help me discover my actual sexuality. Currently I think I'm Demisexual and Cupioromantic, but I wouldn't be surprised if in a year or two that changes. Tumblr really has helped me figure this out and have the confidence to think this way too. Seeing other people's stories and experiences have greatly helped. I'm happy to say I'm a part of the ace community.

[baby-aro]

I really do want a conventional relationship but I don’t know how possible that is being aro. I think this is part of why I’m always questioning it every other day. I really want someone to love and someone to love me but am I capable of that if I don’t feel romantic attraction? If I have felt it then it was like one or two times at most. It is possible I could be Demi or grey but I don’t really know.

[golden-haired-native]

So I’ve finally come to terms with the fact that I’m probably cupioromantic and it’s very bittersweet. I love romance and seeing relationships but it’s a bit sad that I know I’ll never have one (at least in the “normal” sense). I want what others want but I can’t have it.

Could you do another cupioromantic eeveelution?

Sure!
