So we can both agree that it isn't love necessarily. Would you agree that its the love of the idea of being in a relationship with that person that you are attracted to? Bc the reason why I say you don't know someone to the fullest extent is bc there's other things that you pick up on in a relationship, and you see them through all stages thick and thin. In the beginning stages those feelings are like the start of a fire and that fire is nurtured throughout the relationship developing more
I mean yeah I get what you mean, but itās like you get to know someone enough as is and see how well you click if youāre friends for a while and the romantic interest can develop after having been hanging out with/talking to each other for a while platonically. I know there are plenty of guys that become friends with women trying to get with them from the start and then say theyāve been āfriendzoned.ā
Having said that though thereās been ones I think oh theyāre a really cool person I wanna be friends with them and then Iāve developed interest romantically later on once the friendship grew, but I could figure out when they didnāt feel the same and let those feelings fade cause I still like them as a person
