Nah man, that's why I used the first person so much there. Questions on discussion threads are fair game in my mind for anyone who has a good answer, which I felt I did.
Just for my records, did you feel your use of if protected you from my sarcastic comments?
I think this is where I start splitting hairs, honestly. But I'll work with your question about why someone wouldn't kiss someone who they were sexually attracted to. You might find it ****e, but it's what I've got.
For some people, a lot of people even, possibly at its core, kissing and...
Not in asexual romantic relationships...thus my saying it seems logical to presume there must be something else if romantic relationships do exist independent of sex.
O_O Alright, I admit that is one way to sort it. But, it seems to me that it makes more logical sense to presume there must be something intrinsic to romantic relationships which is not sexual. I'm not sure it's jealousy, but I am sure it is the sort of connection. Even the bffship doesn't...
I'm calling my lawyer. He has a court order to offer you a clean-furnished-turkeyless room to live in. Don't worry, mummy will have this sorted in two shakes of a lamb's tail.
Liar. My lawyer will be contacting you about our son's room.
@Deus : So how do you make peace with the...
I in no way disagree. I would simply answer that if something is not the norm, it is not worth making definition, law, or dwelling upon in any particular way. There are also friendships in which sex occurs but there isn't romance attached. I would argue that sort of relationship requires some...
I mean, it isn't surprising to me that it occurs. I just don't see it as the norm. I don't see jealousy in friendship to me a normal thing to have happening. Even among zany *****es.
I think it is a part of some romantic relationships. I don't buy that it is a defining characteristic...
I mean, I've had two BFFs my whole life (sisters), and I've never seen a possessiveness or jealousy come into play. I've watched other best friendships and it never seemed like there was gonna be a "I thought we were special" moment.
Which, to be clear, seems to be a hallmark of romantic...
I've been talking about penguins the whole time because I'm not a bigot who limits the expression of platonic love to the straight or patriarch-capitalist-cis-white-upper-middle-class-binary gendered folk. I'm all about that inclusion.
No, but seriously, I'm a bit intrigued by this assumption...
I mean, to be that guy, it sorta depends how you interpret the definition of platonic and perhaps further out interpret the definition of friendship.
If you're defining platonic as a pervasive feeling, then wouldn't too the second you felt someone was attractive even if it passed have ruined...
My answer is definitely. I grew up with a father who ran a gaming and comic store. I've been a tomboy my whole life even if my outer manner of appearance has matured from the days of jeans+sundress+backwards hat. It's really just a sad fact that most girls do not share any of my interests or...
