The kind of friendship where you can be completely honest and just be your full self around is the dynamic of a husband wife. Having a friend like that is a recipe for them catching feelings for you because it’s basically the highest level of trust and ability to be completely vulnerable to one another. The fact that you reduce those feelings to ‘expectation of sex’ is gaslighting of the highest order.
i don’t think that’s what he means? i think he means, now idk 100%, but no, i don’t want a girl that’s a friend like that. it ruins my chances of finding a girlfriend because why am i close with another girl like that? i understand there is nothing more platonic going on, but let’s be real, that creates an insecurity within the girl i’m talking to. Why would she want a girl that’s constantly asking me for sex advice? Same as I wouldn’t want a man doing that to her.
Yeah, I honestly view it like this too. Either have a friend of the same sex you won’t become attracted to, or get therapist. This kind of bond between a man and a woman can only exist between familiarly between family. So I guess it’s not impossible, but be prepared to be the older or younger sister.
