⚫ | '''Mesoamory''' describes a [[Relational Alignment|relational alignment]] in which an individual feels as if they fall in between amorous and [[nonamorous]], not fitting the usual trinary of [[Polyamorous|polyamory]], [[Monogamous|monogamy]] and nonamory.

This term is similar to [[ambiamorous]], but has more emphasis on potential nonamory. |

Mesoamory describes a relational alignment in which an individual feels as if they fall in between amorous and nonamorous, not fitting the usual trinary of polyamory, monogamy and nonamory. This is usually because the individual is not interested in relationships until they meet someone they "click" with, which might be rarer than for most people due to an aspec orientation or neurodivergence. This means the individual could potentially end up in any kind of relationship, but do not have an inherent interest in seeking out partners. It could also be seen as generally being nonamorous, but being amorous for a specific individual or individuals. This term is similar to ambiamorous, but has more emphasis on potential nonamory.
History
Mesoamorous was coined on November 24th, 2021 by Tumblr user androgynousxandroid. It was coined with aspec people in mind but is free to use for anyone who finds it useful.
Etymology
This term stems from Greek meso ("middle") + amory, the common suffix for relational alignments.

The flag was inspired by the polyamorous, the monogamous and the nonamorous flag.
