Platonic - free from sensual desire, esp. in a relationship between two persons of the opposite sex.
(platonic. (n.d.). Dictionary.com Unabridged (v 1.1). Retrieved January 24, 2007, from Dictionary.com website: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/platonic )
Is there such a thing as platonic relationship? A friendship between a male and a female so strong but there is no romantic love / feeling, chemistry or infatuation involved? Or do you believe there is a chemistry between these two persons? Or do you believe that this friendship will develop into love and a romantic relationship later on?
If it exists, can it co-exist between two persons who have their respective love relationship? Can our minds and hearts be so clear to distinguish romantic love and friendship that we will not cheat on our spouses?
All these strings of questions often run through my head. I wonder if anyone has ever had a platonic relationship and has been remaining so for many years.
I have a male friend whom I am extremely close to and we can talk about anything under the sun. We are friends for so many years now and we have definitely developed a mutual admiration and respect for another. We often speak so fondly and proudly of each other's achivements to our friends. There is no doubt we know each other's weaknesses and strengths and sometimes even before I say a thing, my 'platonic' friend knew exactly what I wanted. That is how well he knows me. When we are together, friends will say we looked like a couple in love....simply because we connect so well.
Not surprisingly, friends and family constantly warn me of losing a possible 'romantic' relationship should I grip steadfastly onto this 'platonic' friendship. I never allowed those warnings to restrain this friendship from flourishing until recently, those warnings seem real and true...
Yes, they may be right that I might have lost a possible relationship with the guy of my dreams because of this platonic relationship, especially if both boys are buddies. If that is so, I have no regrets. It's all about trusting each other and if trust is not one of the fundamental elements to a romantic and lasting relationship, then I suppose no such romantic relationship can last and the guy / girl is simply not worth it.
I do not possess the answers to all the above questions mentioned earlier. The future is vast open with possibilities. A platonic relationship might develop into a romantic one or not. I wouldn't know. Either way, I will not allow it to develop, if I am already in a relationship with someone else. That's very clear within me.
I am thankful for this friend and am certainly happy to be in this friendship. To pay a price and to forego a friendship of which it took so long, so many years, so many phone calls and so much effort to develop, I will definitely think twice to forego it and I hope never to have to make that sort of decision of only choosing one....

I think you're right to treasure it. ;) But I also believe in an old adage my friend once told me, "Friends make the best lovers."
Good luck with life, sweetie. :)
I have lots of platonic relationships. Well, that's maybe because I'm gay. Anyway, they say love moves in mysterious ways so I may very well become straight one day.
PLUTONIC RELATIONSHIP IS ALWAYS AN EXCUSE AND ITS NONSENSE !.
WHEN OPOSITE SEX COMES TOGETHER IT IS JUST LIKE PAPER AND FIRE COMING TOGETHER. PLUTONIC PAPER YOU WILL BE CONSUMED BY THE FIRE.HE! HE! HE!

GOOD LUCK.
