MORE CASE STUDIES

Pets!

A conversation I'd have with a friend:

'Lol in future I want a dog'
'Oo what kind'
'Poodle I guess! Standard, but not the froofy haircut'
'I'd like a cat I think'
'Haha get a dog AND a cat'

A conversation I have literally had with a romantic partner:

'So what pets should we get'
'At least one dog/cat, NO BIRDS though'
'Yeah birds are like, eternal toddlers'
'Sob they live too long and require too much attention and i dont think we could keep up with a bird it'd be bored and sad'
'ID RATHER WE ADOPT A CHILD than get a bird, children GROW UP'

Like - one of these is clearly more intertwined. I would not plan a friend's pets out for them. I might give them advise, or tips, or put them in contact with people I know who have similar pets, but the final decision isn't up to me, it's up to them! But the pets a romantic partner and I have would be shared, so it's both of us involved.

Also, frankly I'm not sure what sex has to do with it? Like, friends have sex and stay friends, romantic partners could not have sex or live separately or away from each other and still be romantic partners. Like, if people can be friends with benefits, they can also totally be romantic partners WITHOUT benefits.

I don't think having sex is a determiner, but I think the desire to have sex is an inherent part of romantic feeling, for a lot of people.

Like, I could be not having sex with someone I felt romantically for, while still feeling romantically for them. But if I didn't want to have sex with them, for me that would be someone I didn't feel romantically for.

That's likely valid too, but what I meant is more that for a lot of people, sex with friends or finding someone sexually attractive or wanting to bang them doesn't necessarily lead to wanting to plan a life together with them or even marry or date them. So while for some people the link may certainly be there, I wouldn't say it's a given or the only way to define romance.
