I think I'm experiencing the purest form of love imaginable

[Hyper Venom]

I have this friend. She and I are very close. I'm not attracted to her or anything, but we're really great friends. And something hit me not too long ago when I was thinking about her: I love her. I mean I really, truly love her. I would give anything for her without a moment's hesitation. And the reason this perplexes me is because we're not in a relationship, and we're not related. Until now I never thought a person could feel that kind of love for somebody who doesn't fall under either of those categories. It's really kind of confusing.

So, am I odd? Or is this sort of thing commonplace?

Put it in her butt.

Yeah, you'll be a real laugh riot here in the Hype.

Yet another lame ass thread about emo relationships.

Look,I'm trying to get off the computer and now you come up with a good topic.

Different friend, different kind of love.

Why do you have a new screenname? Dew bumped you off again? Christ, you're gonna beat Toven's record in no time.

 

[CyberFaust]

that's nice dude, don't **** it up!

 

[tzarinna]

Well,I'm pretty sappy. *don't tell anybody* But I develop fondness for people without feeling the need to get in their pants. It happens.

Yeah I thought that as I was typing it. Well everyone else does it! Figured I'd get in on the fun.

Feel free to put this under my "Most emo threads" thread. t:

Yeah, if I were to guess, I'd say you're going to be screwed (not literally) in 6 months or so too. I've been in exactly your situation before. But hey, if you manage to love her without having any romantic feelings for her, good for you. But it's really hard, man. Really hard. Unless you're gay.

Are you kidding me? This his a suck thread, there's been about 50 of these this year. "I'm so emo, I love this girl but I lack the testicular fortitude to bed her." *cut* *cut* *cut*

HV it's almost a given if you have a female in your life, especially if you are really close to her or if she's the only one in your life, for you to develop feelings.

You have 2 options. Tell her how you feel and risk the friendship or put some distance until the feelings subside. Otherwise, you aren't being fair to the relationship or her.

You...sappy? I'm honestly shocked to hear you say that. I've never seen an ounce of sap in any post of yours I've read here.

Just when you think you know a person...

Dew was afraid of me. She broke down when we were speaking on AIM cus I kept making fun of her and her baby.

But hey, some people don't deserve to get the joke of life.

Well, there is that whole problem with her having a boyfriend. And that whole thing with neither of us being sexually attracted to one another. And that thing with my ex-girlfriend and I dating again. So many obstacles.

If you happened to save that conversation, I would like to read it.

I'm a sucker for romance and love,just because I'm not getting any doesn't mean I don't want someone else to.

Oh, she already knows how I feel. She said she feels the same way. And the friendship is stronger for it. I'm just confused because I wasn't aware that people could have such feelings in a platonic relationship.

Okay you have two options, bed her or forget about her. Stop ***** footing around the issue, I doubt you could go back to just being buddies.

That was almost two years ago, Fam.

You seem to be missing the point. I'm not saying I want to get with her. I'm asking if it's odd to have such feelings for somebody when your relationship is completely platonic. And yes, I already told her how I feel, and she told me the feeling is mutual.

A lot of relationships start that way. Some of the best relationships are the result of a strong platonic ones.

So if you both "love" each other? Why aren't you dating if you aren't already?

 

[Won '08]

. I'm just confused because I wasn't aware that people could have such feelings in a platonic relationship.

Thats the thing. They can't.
