I wish people understood/shared my desire for platonic dates. (defining platonic here not as romantic+non-sexual, but as non-romantic, non-sexual but different than ‘just friends’ in a weird way that I don’t really understand… I guess it’s more just like expressing friend-like in a non-normative way.)
I love getting dressed up and going on best friend dates with BFH. :)
I LOVE FRIEND DATES. Getting dressed up is not a huge part of what I consider a friend date, but I just generally love one-on-one, specific outings/advance-planned hangout sessions. I think it’s part of being an introvert/managing my anxiety. I just find it much more consistently rewarding to hang out with people one-on-one. Two-on-one is also acceptable when I am the “one” and the “two” are a stable long-term couple—for me it’s all about minimizing the uncertainty in the dynamics, and the more people you add the more variability there is.
I miss my Brisfriends :(
Goldfriends apply within?
