How do you define a platonic relationship? Is it a kind of friendship with some loving and no romance? Is it possible to care for someone deeply and not be involved romantically?

I've heard of this stuff before I think it's about a relationship which doesn't involve any intimacy or romance. It's possible to those couples who's taking things so slow and it's kinda boring for me.

a love relationship that started with a platonic relationship is good. you are very comfortable with each other and have known each other for so long.

I totally believe in the platonic relationship. Most of my friends are male, and there's nothing romantic going on with them at all! I have several close, male friends from college who are like my brothers, and I love them like brothers. We can argue, bicker, pick on each other and torment each other, but in the end we know that we care deeply about each other, at the same time we have our separate, romantic relationships.

If there's no such thing as a truly platonic relationship, how does that work... everyone has friends of both genders, so is there always a reason to be suspicious of your partner being romantically involved with another "friend"?

Platonic relationships involve no romance but they can be very intimate nonetheless. I have a platonic relationship with a man, he is also my best friend after my spouse. We have known each other for a long time. We tell each other everything and do a lot of activities together. Even though we love each other a lot, there is absolutely no romance or physical attraction whatsoever. It is great to have such a relationship as it is comforting, yet it doesn't get complicated because of the absence of sentimental issues.

I guess, when you care somebody, their is already love involve. However, we

have different kind of love. Do you think love with romance is the boy-girl

relationship?

it can be boy-boy and girl-girl too

I don't even have an idea as to what is platonic relationship. When I read all your posts, I can say that I understand it a bit. So, it means that there is no romantic feelings involve. How about the relationship with our parents? Is it a platonic one?

I agree with some of the others, having a platonic relationship beforehand can lead to a very honest and healthy relationship in the long run.

I think a platonic relationship is a relationship without any romance of any kind (including sex). It's funny you'd ask that now, because I had to look that word up the other day, because I had NO clue what it meant haha

A platonic relationship is a relationship without the romance. There's feelings of love, but nothing sexual. It's just a deep friendship. Many platonic relationships have turned romantic.

A platonic relationship can be deeper and more "romantic" than a romantic relationship. A platonic couple will care each other more than they care to their "real" spouse. IMO.
