There's a looming question you haven't answered: Are you OK with having a platonic friend that happens to be interested in you sexually? You haven't answered this question, but you seem to have strongly implied the answer, "no". If that's the case, then maybe this is a good opportunity to reconsider. I for one have had many great platonic relationships with women that I am interested in sexually. Interest is not pursuit. If I had avoided every platonic relationship that could feel like a failed sexual pursuit, I would have missed out on a lot of great friends. | ||

If they act as friends only and do not try to go elsewhere sure I’m fine either way. I myself in life have had friends where if they too showed interest then it would’ve been more, but I knew what those relationships were & enjoyed them as is ..find my fun & love elsewhere. I mentioned I made a solid platonic friend and travel buddy. I hang out with weekly and we go to happy hours with other straight to non-straight dudes. Only one of them has been inappropriate, but we worked it out and there are no more advances. If they want to continue being my friend great as that’s all, I’m looking for on a friends app and/or through happy hours. And personally if they called it, something else that problem would still exist. |
