Cupioqueerplatonic is a micro-label on the aqueerplatonic-spectrum (a lack of queerplatonic attraction) and a-spectrum. Cupioqueerplatonic is defined as someone who does not experience queerplatonic attraction but still desires/likes a queerplatonic relationship. Cupioqueerplatonic individuals are typically favorable to queerplatonic experiences and feelings (queerplatonic-favorable) but they do not have to be. Cupioqueerplatonic may also be used by individuals who sometimes feel queerplatonic attraction but still desire a queerplatonic relationship even without attraction, for example, a demiqueerplatonic individual who dates someone before they feel attraction to them, possibly on the assumption that they will develop queerplatonic attraction later on. Another example could be a frayqueerplatonic individual who dates someone after they lose their queerplatonic attraction.
