I am a man, I have a friend whom I want to see as my platonic partner, because I feel a clear platonic love. How to tell them about it? How to start, maintain and develop a platonic relationship? Thanks everyone for the advice. I need kindness and support.

  1. I am not entirely sure but isn’t a platonic relationship a very amazing friendship? I’d say depends on the other person. But maybe just let them know, that you really appreciate their friendship and the bond you have? Thank them for something? Putting the word friendship in an appreciative sentence definitely sets the scene to mark it as clearly non-sexual if that is what you’re looking for.

  2. If you feel like you’re past acquaintance level and comfortable enough to call them a friend, you either wait for an opening or create an opening where you can explain what you want and don’t want in the relationship to avoid stringing them along if they develop feelings. It’s a tough convo to have but it’ll give you both the opportunity to be really close friends or move on to find more compatible relationships
