i was watching Waiting to Exhale this morning and i realized that i am living through some of the events that are happened in that movie.
what am i talking about?
i am totally attracted to a married man.
but would i have a relationship with him?
no probably not.
he is great and while i an attracted i dont actually want to sleep with him.
i want him as a close friend, like one that spends all night watching chick movies with me or who i go on trips with.
i guess what i want from him is the close but without the sex.
i guess you can never have that

I understand the sentiment behind wanting closeness without the sex. They are actually very common. Called platonic relationships. But you do have to be careful, because its extremely easy for one party to fall for the other and misinterpret the relationship. If you're honest with each other and discuss the friendship and the limits of it, a platonic relationship can be very rewarding.

Platonic relationships. Curious. When I think about them, I'm all about it. But when I read about them. For example..."I am totally attracted to a married man"..are we really just fooling ourselves? If we're really honest with ourselves..isn't there really a hint of sexual attraction in the undercurrent? If we call it a platonic relationship we can experiment with the closeness and possibly further..but where is the line drawn and how far will the guy let it go before the guy gets mad when you pull back because it's "just platonic"? Plus, if there's a wife involved? What would she think of this close friendship? Hmmm, there might be different boundaries for married, platonic friendships and single, platonic friendships. What do you think?

i actually desagre with "i guess you can never have that" i actually think that i may be simple are to obtain that. mayb a good way to go about it is to become good friends with the familly (bouth him and his wife) that way ur able to obtain a higher lever of closenes with him without troble from thw wife

I guess the real question here for both 'talktoomuch' and 'whatonlyisee' is this: If you were married (or even had a boyfriend), how would you feel about another girl or woman being close friends with your husband/boyfriend?

So you wouldn't mind another girl/woman cozying up to your honey "all night watching chick movies" or going on trips alone with him? Hmmmm.....
Sorry, I just couldn't resist! :)
