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

Why couldn't you do any of those things with a friend, if that's who you're closest to? Friends could theoretically do any of that (and probably do). Personally, I love and am close enough to my best friend to be happy to do any of those things. We really are that close, and none of my actual romantic relationships even come close to our friendship.

Actually I'm reminded of two acquaintances who are married - a guy and a woman, but they are both gay. In their country, where I met them, homosexuality is really frowned upon, so they got married as a cover up and then obviously date outside of their marriage. Here's the thing, though. The two are best friends. They run an amazing household and are perfectly content in their "marriage", even as they date outside the house. They love each other, though not romantically, they are essentially friends who do everything you said.

DA

I really think this comes down to an issue of semantics. The things that the person you replied to are what makes a relationship romantic in my opinion. If you'd do those things with a friend and the only difference to you between friendship and romance is sex, then obviously you have a different definition. People just obviously see it completely differently and I don't think either side is going to change the other's mind.

That's a lot different than an average friendship, though.
