No, stay the course, zaz. Both of you get Baldur’s Gate. We’ll create a TABN party.
I want to elaborate on this and say that it is rare that a romantic partner fulfills someone's every need. Both Kelly and I value this type of "compartmentalization" of relationships, where each one serves a specific purpose. I recently found out that Mason is not the type of person that enjoys deep emotional conversations, so now it makes sense why Kelly always turns to me to fulfill that emotional need of hers. Therefore, the concept of "boyfriend role" is a moot point. And yes, that makes the concept of "girlfriend role" moot as well, so I will amend that statement and say that I call her my platonic girlfriend because it is hard to call us "just friends" when we have such a deep emotional connection that neither of us has with any of our other relationships.maximzub wrote: ↑Fri Jan 19, 2024 7:21 pmIt's not friendzone if neither party wants to be romantically involved.Timotheus wrote: ↑Fri Jan 19, 2024 5:59 pmDo you fill the boyfriend role in her life? No, her boyfriend does... Hence, friendzone.I call Kelly that because the emotional intimacy we share is at the level that it would be in a romantic relationship. Since I value emotional connection more than anything physical, she's basically temporarily filling the girlfriend role in my life, albeit without anything physical and with a greater sense of distance than I would want in an actual romantic relationship.

It is the modern world and all. Just be aware that this might be difficult to navigate when a non-platonic girlfriend enters the picture.maximzub wrote: ↑Thu Jan 25, 2024 7:52 pmI want to elaborate on this and say that it is rare that a romantic partner fulfills someone's every need.

I understand, and I'm doing my best to prepare to explain my friendship with Kelly to a potential romantic interest. Also, I'm sure that she and I will become less close once I get a romantic girlfriend, but that's to be expected with all my friendships.

Apparently the answer to this question is "Cry about it for three years".maximzub wrote: ↑Wed Jan 27, 2021 12:16 am Is it time I joined the dreaded forum to talk about this? Or should I maybe start a separate forum on crush problems?
I don't really have good friends, so at school I find myself talking to this girl twice a day for a few minutes each time. We've known each other for a year and a half, and right now, we consider ourselves "just friends". It's good that we have some common interests (music and math...yes, we math nerds are crazy).
But I think that I might like her as more than a friend.
So, the question is:
What the hell do I do?!?
