    No. I don't think so. One of the two is attracted to the other.

    That's never worked out well for me,most men don't like hearing I only like you as a friend when they are attracted to you and it ruins everything. I'm sure no one likes hearing that. I think it's hard if the attraction is one sided or if it's mutual unless they don't like each other's personalities enough to make it a physical thing.

    Not from my experience. Once that 'maybe' thought turns into a 'never', the one who is attracted to the other disappears

    Exactly my experience and it sucks or they hang around awhile and make you feel guilty for not reciprocating and heaven forbid you start dating someone.

    Of course!
    Plenty of my friends are guys. In fact, outside of my two female best friends, I spend most of my time with guys.

    Um, no?

    It's pretty much common knowledge that of two people of different genders try to be friends, their genitals will go nuclear from all the sexual tension?? And the only way to diffuse the possible worldwide destruction from nether region- Nagasaki situation is for the offending "friends" to fight to the death in a televised arena death match. The heck where you doing in school dude? Clearly not paying attention.

    All I know is I've had many guy friends and yes a few liked me at one time but that all worked out. So I do believe friendship is possible.

    Just curious here.
    If you want to and you think about it and fantasize about it et etc - is that still platonic?
  • MrsBooBear
    MrsBooBear Posts: 12,618 Member
    I think it's natural to wonder about it, in general. If the curiousity passes pretty quickly, I don't see how it impacts a platonic relationship. My two pennies.
  • BigDougie1211
    BigDougie1211 Posts: 3,531 Member
    But if platonic means non sexual and you've imagined it, surely that's already introduced a sexual element to the relationship.
    Even if not physically.
  • MrsBooBear
    MrsBooBear Posts: 12,618 Member
    Well, I don't know about anyone else, but I've imagined a lot worse things than what someone might be like in bed etc Doesn't mean I'd actually entertain acting on it. I think one's actions determine what a relationship becomes.

    I think we all have. It just depends on your definition of platonic then really doesn't it?
