Platonic Relationships.
Ok, Some people may have differing opinions on this one. But what I have written is purely from my own view point and I probably need more feed back on this than I have comments for it. Well, let’s dwell on it a little longer….
Can a fully platonic relationship between a guy/man/male and a girl/woman/lady ever take place!!!???
There is a mighty fine line between romantically acquainted friend and a truly close one.
Well, I would guess some people would be able to tell apart the differences, regardless of sexual orientation. However, sometimes, this mighty thin red line is pretty confusing at times…isn’t it?
How many males out there can boast that your BESTEST of best friends in actually from the female species (assuming you are permanently straight…no offence to other sexually oriented beings…but it would be too tedious to include every single orientation…) and if there actually is just one guy, and you do not having to eventually end up with ur bestest of best friend, could u please raise your hand? Close friends, yes, we may have a few…but to what extend is the closeness??
For the guys, I guess, the way our brain functions is more straight forward and focused. Mainly, a yes means yes and a no means no. So in relationships, we don’t really operate in multi level syndrome. We may acknowledge close ties with the female species, and unless there is money involved (figure this out yourself…), to us, there is only these 3 categories… Friend (yes, purely nothing will develop beyond this point), potential partner and partner.
Predominantly, the females (without having gone through operations…) tend to be able to have more males surrounding them as their close friends (assuming the female specimen is of a reasonable physical appearance…regardless of the level of intelligence…). This is clear in many cases, and no doubt that they claim a close tie between the male parties involved, but to what extend this closeness is held out, does it differentiate, a romance developing and a truly close pal?
Beats me.
But I believe the female brain has the ability to operate in a multi-function mode (multi-tasking as well..). When a lady says yes, it may mean maybe, sure!, errmmm…ok, no, damn it! Not now!!, good, yay! or yes. And when she says no, it may mean, maybe, common!! U know what I want!!, errrmmm…ok, yes, let me think about it, just go away!!, forget it…, die u #$%*ing bastard!!, or no. Aren’t they wonderful...? Definitely can’t live without them.
But this also brings us to the point that their exquisite ability to think on multi levels mean they probably categorize men, in terms of relationships, into several or maybe more of the following categories (I may be wrong about the categories…but I am certain there is more than 3):
Let’s start with
…Friend type A, Friend type B, Friend type C, Friend type D, Friend type E (which explains why females have different breasts sizes as well….), jerks, bastards, Out of my sight, ummmm….i cannot see him….ummmm….i cannot see him…ummmmm….., potential partner type 1, potential partner type 2, potential partner type 3, potential partner type 4, potential partner type 5, potential partner type 6….and TA DA!!! THE ONE.
Complex, yet divine. The female species is a marvel of creation.
So, why is it, some things (in which, I mean romance….), are so straight forward, yet so… indistinguishably complicated? We, complicate ourselves don’t we? Platonic relationship, Does it really exist??...to me, a more important question would be, Platonic relationship, does it matter?... But like I always say, let nature takes its course… What will be, will be. Sometimes, it ends the way we hope it would end, sometimes, it doesn’t. So, I’ll leave u all with this quote from Katherine Hepburn…
“Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get – Only with what you are expecting to give – which is everything.”

Ha! this is going to be so INTERESTING!!!!
Can a guy/girl ever be in a platonic friendship even if they are very close?? YES!!!!!!
i could give u eg.... but apart fm that..its always gd to know the opposite sex's opinions on some issues..and it's even greater if they are not ur BF/GF.. especially if u are planning something for ur significant other half....*winks to marcus*....
Anyway..to me, it's weird how many times this qn surfaces but then again.... i feel that it depends on individuals... on how do they treat each other in terms of friendship....
hmm.... do up ur conclusion..... after ur comments are gathered?? haha!!!!
hi marcus
lynn here :) u know, you are so introspective, it's scary. are you in IT? :P
for me, there's definitely platonic friendships with guys. there are some guys I cannot imagine being with 'cept as friends e.g. same hobbies, can hang out, but I'm not attracted to. attraction is a bit elusive to talk about coz it's not just about looks, it's the entire package and what the individual wants, you know? personality, values rank huge on attractive for me.
there are those that toe the line of course. but this line will prob have to be decided the sooner the better else it's just sheer confusion and agony - dun u think? happened with me... :)
