and the craziest part is i thought EVERYONE shared this worldview and actually romantics were the exception or theyre all wrong about romance bc obviously romance is very distinct from sex but not really distinct from platonic feelings right obviously everyone feels that platonic and romantic love are essentially the same or at the very least pointless to differentiate right everyones dated their best friend and didnt understand why that would change the dynamic and why it didnt work out romantically but still really close friends right
