Can friendships with the opposite sex be platonic? 🤔
And each of them I've lost because either I have fallen for them or they have fallen for me or like, we both fell for each other and then we decided not to pursue it. And it's not a lack of boundaries. It's not like we disrespect. It's just that it happened. We developed emotions and we developed feelings. And I imagine that's the consequence of getting to know somebody on a deeper and intimate level
And when that person draws a line or asks you to take a step back, you'll have to take that even when it hurts, because you don't want to ruin a friendship. So you respect any boundaries that they set. So being platonic with somebody often means you do not cuddle in bed together or kiss, or you don't act like girlfriends and boyfriends. Candy key to any major move in your platonic friendship it comes down to communication
And sometimes because I do that, I kind of forget to enjoy the friendship and enjoy whatever it is, right? Because I think I'm scared, I guess like everybody else, I'm scared of feeling pain, I'm scared of missing out on the other person, I guess an anxiety of that person leaving my life. So I thanks for that because I think that definitely was something I needed to hear and to go with the flow
And the third guy was he was my friend, but then he behaved in a very romantic fashion in terms of his actions, but denied his feelings, saying, like, I don't have feelings, when it was very obvious. And it was very awkward for me because I couldn't maintain the friendship when one person is denying that they had, in fact, feelings and were behaving in a very different manner. And then I had to be had

So therefore everyone is sort of primed towards looking for that person, that special someone, and therefore these things happen where someone might actually find you very attractive and might actually zone in on you as a prospective partner and you may also feel the same about somebody, right? And these are all transient faces and I think to some extent it's always best to just go with the flow and enjoy those moments because life has its way of sorting out things for you, right?

That's because our adrenaline rush is so high. But over the period of time we kind of understand that where we can put the boundaries. But even today, I'm telling you frankly, even today if I feel I can feel that soulmate relationship, I might even fall into a relationship even now. But mostly what I see I can understand or decipher. Like look here Peeli, this is good, but let it be a friendship
