Of course.
Ignore the majority of responses they are coming from people closer to animals than anything resembling intelligent, capable humans.
I mean most of the responses are from people too dull witted to understand that you don't work with men & women - many who can become friends outside of work - thinking of romantic relationships.
I mean most of the responses are from people too dull witted to understand that you don't go to high school, college or university with men & women - many who can become friends outside of class - thinking of romantic relationships.
I mean most of the responses are from people too dull witted to understand that you don't keep childhood friends thinking of romantic relationships.
And those are the most obvious examples of HEALTHy relationships WITHOUT sex
.
If you do view any and all interaction with the opposite sex as possible romantic/sex relation you're not a human - you're an animal incapable of greater thought processes.

Um, I don't have romance for my parents , ew. Nor my children. Nor my friends and other relatives.
So in my experience the whole non-romantic relationship with a woman, it's like a nice time Gap filler between real relationships. But at some point she finds a man or I find a woman and we just drift apart. Because in our hearts that's really what every man and woman wants is romantic real relationship with each other.
I think it depends on what each person is seeking. If obviously had numerous satisfying relationships that didn't involve any penetrative sex whatsoever, but we were both very pleased with the relationship and in how we interacted during our intimate encounters.

You mean friendship? Yeah... Pretty sure that normal, not to mention healthy. Then again I feel like there is more context to this question. Do you mean opposite genders specifically, or people your attracted to physically?
I've never met the woman that didn't want at least SOME form of romance.
But yeah, some relationships are very (excuse the term) "low maintenence".
Yes since majority of people we deal with isn't romantic lol
Is this another way of asking if a guy and a girl can be best friends?
If it’s meant to be a non-romantic relationship (like a friendship) then yes. If you are married or dating, then no.
For sure. Healthy relationships of all kinds are possible.
Healthy? Yes
Meaningful? No
I'm a hopeless romantic
Do you have no desire for a passionate relationship?
I have never been able to have a successful "friendship" with a woman. It always turns into more. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Honestly? You can for a little while but once the sparks died you're just left with ashes
Nah. We have to be romantic (i. e. going on nice dates, sex, etc).
In general, people don't refer to friendships as relationships. Healthy friendships can be had without romance, relationships cannot.
They can but sooner or later they have to have a relationship that’s romantic if not, they’re just buddies
If you are just friends yeah.
If you are boyfriend / girlfriend or husband / wife and there's no romance, it's not really much of a relationship.Yes I do. I have some friends with benefits that I have known for 5+ years, date often and we have a great time.
Yeah it’s possible I’m assuming you talking about men and women as a whole
Unconventional, but it's possible, especially if two asexual people get together.
Not unless you both know what you're going into it for
Ngl lately I'm starting to think romance is detrimental to a healthy relationship
Yeah, it's called friendship, platonic love is an ancient subject.
