Is wanting platonic that bad?

[Little.Wolf]

So I'm not sure what to think on this. I am not really wanting to settle down and date, so is being and wanting to be platonic for a time a bad thing? Or? Guess I'm just begining to think that maybe I should stop trying. :/

There is nothing wrong with that... it is a good thing

Guess I have just had so many people either skip that part both in my profile and personal and then get mad at me about it when it's there. Our just end up ignoring me when I thought our talks, not even anything outside of the normal friendship talks just stop. It's disappointing and hurtful even. Makes me feel like a black sheep.

I'm sorry that keeps happening,  it is a terrible feeling when that happens... I know it's probably not most of the times but I would bet that some of the times they just like your company enough they forget, and that should be a compliment when they do... but that is neither here nor there... keep your chin up and remember sometimes being the black sheep is not a bad thing sometimes it's good to be different.. you always got a friend here.

Thank you Kara

As someone who's made the mistake of not being real friends at first and jumping too quickly into something, I have to commend you on your choice.  It'll save you a lot of heart ache in the long run and keep you sane.  Being platonic friends will make the foundation of any future relationship so much more stronger than if you just allow your passion or more base drives steer your path.

 

Anyways, good luck and stick to your decision.

 

Later Dayz.

Same here, I open up easily to people and love and admire almost everyone I meet, but it takes a lot out of me to feel like I'm really close to anyone. So when it comes to romance platonic is a must, and I'm totally for getting to know people in a platonic way, I feel like any other thing would destroy the reality of the connection and make it all about the relationship, and being someone that has intimacy issues I understand, you wanting platonic connection (with or without wanting it to evolve) is perfectly ok and healthy.

 

Remember just because you want platonic doesn't mean you don't deserve intimate connection ! There is no obligation to throw romance in and don't listen to anyone telling you the opposite and that you can't have a platonic Caregiver or that it has to be romance from the get go, that's just not true. Take care and look for what you really want even if that's difficult sometimes !

Platonic is totally valid and awesome!
