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

People generally tend to prioritize lovers over friends, even best friends.

If you're doing all these things with your firend and you cannot imagine doing them with anyone else (including a person you'd have sex with) and you both consider each other you most important person, then what you have with your friend IS an asexual romance, you're just not using that name for it.

Most friendships do not actually look like this.

Or it is just a really close friendship? Presumably ayrt isn't asexual, neither is her friend, so if they are physically and emotionally close it seems dumb to call it an "asexual romance".

And who are you to speak for most friendships, honestly? Lots of people out there, men and women alike, have friends that close. It doesn't mean asexual romance is a thing that exists.

I also take issue with "people generally tend to prioritize lovers over friends" - people don't necessarily do one or the other. The status of lover doesn't automatically elevate anyone over their friends. Perfectly normal people equally value platonic friends, and romantic partners.
