Matching feelings are possible, but they depend heavily on the person
I may feel warmth or excitement while remaining unsure that it is romantic
I can value their feelings without experiencing a corresponding romantic pull

An investment I genuinely want the opportunity to make
4. After reading first-person accounts from cupioromantic people, what reaction would you be most likely to have?

6. A friend says, “If you want romance, you must already feel romantic attraction somewhere.” Which response comes closest to yours?
