With just few words describe how they changed ur life
I did. Sort of. It was a guy friend I never had anything sexual with. But I realized he was sort of a "back up" relationship, so I let him go.
We'd sort of dated for a little in HS, then stopped. Never boyfriend/girlfriend. We decided we were better off as friends.
Whenever I was in dissatisfying relationships, I'd call him to talk every once in a while. If he was a girl, I wouldn't see it as an issue, but he wasn't.
After I got married, something told me I was still in love with him (it was a voice). I thought about it, and thought maybe it was right. So I cut things off. It wasn't cheating, but it could have been later. I've never complained to him about Patrick, and didn't want anything like that to happen. I'm glad I made the choice I did.

I describe it as wonderful. He changed my life by showing me I deserve nice guys like him.
I have and have had. They changed my life by being non-judgmental and nice and supportive. They offered perspective from the other gender. They offered refuge. They taught me that not every relationship with the other gender has to be about a date or sex.
I have platonic female friends. They’re more like sisters to me.

Platonic boyfriend/girlfriend? Do you mean just male/female friends? Friends of opposite gender? Or an asexual romantic relationship? Or an aromantic sexual relationship/friends with benefits?
Many of my good friends are male and they are wonderful people. I've never had a full-fledged friends with benefits relationship but I've flirted a bit with a friend when we were both single and found each other hot, but we don't do that anymore, it was a temporary phase.
I've had romantic relationships with nothing physical or sexual involved at all. It's not bad, I'm not sure if I would want another relationship like that now that I am just not the same person as before but only time will tell.
Its comforting, i mean we occasionally have sex but maybe a couple times a year, its not what keeps us together. Life isn't all about sex and we both realise that, we have happy lives, we go away together and with others and have pets together. They help me be me and understand and support me and i do the same for them, i know what they struggle with and them me
I had lots of friends when I was your age. Boys/girls. But after college…we all went out separate ways. I was young and was having lots of fun so we all hung out. Perhaps I may have lead them on a bit…but they knew I had a boyfriend. now I would never do that to another guy. It’s wrong.

I have a few platonic male friends. They’ve helped me a lot over the years, by giving me insight on things from a male’s perspective, aswell as just generally being good friends.
It's good to have friends of opposite gender, since you can get different perspective on certain things.
And as a man it can sometimes be easier to talk about emotional stuff with women, because of stupid gender roles and how men are not supposed to show emotions so our fathers didn't encourage us to talk about our feelings the same way as our mothers did.
So it comes more naturally to open up about feelings when talking to a woman.I want this kind of a relationship coming my way but by the way every respectable boy who isn't lubricious treats me as sister, I have doubt that one day I'd find myself in a blind date to find a compatible marriage partener
I did. Then it became PLUtonic and emotionally exploded with the yield of a thousand warheads.
Yes. We are very close and we bring eachother fun happiness trust and therapy if needed
Sounds like hell! We call that being their gay Best friend.
The only kind of girlfriend I can talk is about misery :D
Well kinda, but she's always hot and under a lot of pressure. Her name is Venus and it's almost like were worlds apart..
it's just chat and the odd hug to say hi or goodbuy
ehh I'm at a point where I'd take a platonic relationship with someone. Never went beyond just being friends with others though
I have a lot of platonic friends who are girls, and the relationships are very nice.
It's more dating and he is cool
Girlfriend ≠platonic.
Men and women can't be friends
No such thing
I don't know.
