Platonic relationships

[naomi24]

Is there such a thing? If a relationship starts out on a platonic footing, is it possible for a man and a woman to maintain a friendship indefinitely on that basis, or is it inevitable that after time, the intentions of one or the other, or both, will change?

I take it you don't fancy him then ;-p

[naomi24]

Not telling. ;o)

[snags]

Well bl00dy well tell 'him' at least...

I have male friends and I wasn't planning on sleeping with any of them, unless they get more attractive, stop interrupting me, become straight, etc....

[naomi24]

But do they think of you in the same way, Sara? The straight ones I mean. :o)

[sara3]

I would hope so, we are all (reasonably!) mature.

also, they all know I'm single so would have probably made some enquiries by now if they were interested.

but... I have lost a couple of male friends in the past who wanted more..

''I'm single''

[snags]

Hetero sexual relationships are only possible in the following circumstances:

a) One of the two is so ugly that the other one doesn't fancy his/her.
b) One or the other has tried it on, but has been rebuffed.

If the above 2 alternatives do not apply, then a platonic heterosexual relationship cannot be entertained.

[snags]

Sqad... are you the ugly one or did you try it on and get knocked back? ;-p

I have had platonic relationships with fellas - it can work.

[Sqad]

snags.....both........that is why I am an authority on platonic heterosexual relationships.

[Sqad]

DEN....I assume that neither of you can be described as "ugly" and that he has not made a pass at you, or you him?

Yeah! right.

[DEN53]

Sqad - I am very good at rebuffing.
