Platonic love affair

i think it's usually called an emotional love affair. you have feelings that you shouldn't but you don't act on them physically. is that what you mean?

Hmm... I think when you platonically love someone, it gets confusing, cos you would kiss them, but maybe not have sex with them? Sometimes

I think when I was younger I had it twice. We used to have a weird connection, being able to talk without opening our mouths, "eye-talking" as someone else put it. But then she took drugs woopee and her personality reversed! With later friends there has been that sort of connection, but with increasing years they are less platonic... everyone is a bit relaxed on sexuality and yes, I have kissed some of the female friends I platonically love. Would I have sex with them? No, don't think so.

I was really close to two guy friends for a time and could say I loved them. One of them has since got confused though and keeps trying to get with me when he is drunk. It is not love of any kind fuelling that I am afraid!

There's not much difference between a platonic friendship and a close one. Actually I'd consider them both to be just friendships, and far from a "love affair." I hear this word a lot mostly when two guys who aren't gay tell each other that they love each other. Its not a relationship type thing, just more like a close friendship.
