Re: What's the difference between asexual romance and really close friendship?

BY TELLING THEM YOU LOVE THEM

obviously ??? I mean - if I love someone then I tell them I love them and I tell them WHY and HOW and what that means to me and the significance that holds and just how much I value them and their presence

how do you ONLY express you love someone sexually thats seriously what I don't get at all

DA but I also tell my friends that I love them - as friends.

I think the central question here really is : what is fundamentally distinguishes romantic love from other kinds of love?

The question wasn't 'do I tell my friends that I love them', it was 'how do you express your love'. And the answer to that is 'with words'.

Of course romantic love is different from friendship love or familial love or mentor-mentee love or whatever, but if people are going to ask silly things that imply SEXUALLY IS THE ONLY WAY TO SHOW LOVE and just discount everything else then I'm going to give an equally trite answer.

And anyway what romantic love or other kinds of love mean to various people as well as how they choose to express that differs from person to person. In my case - and mine alone - I'd say that romantic love comes on top of friendship, and cannot be separated entirely out.

I take OP's confusion here as being basically sincere, and I don't think it's particularly out of line to ask what romantic love is. I think their poor phrasing is probably a result of their confusion. It's not something that our culture seems to be particularly good at defining especially as distinct from sexuality and physical intimacy.

I don't agree with this but I think it would only take us into murky and off-topic waters to get into it so whatever

Except no one in the history of ever has claimed that you can only love someone "sexually".

What they are saying is that friendship love is okay too, and it's weird to call it romance if there is zero sexual element involved.

There are a billion ways to express love, in all kinds of forms, and you can tell anyone you love with words that you love them, family, friends, romantic partners. I don't really see your argument, and I am squinting.
