platonic ??

This is less of a question and more of a poll.

Scenario.
A girl and guy are friends. Girl insists its platonic. Guy move to a different cities hence they lose contact.
Later girl says “He is player”. “Trust me He wanted lot more then that.”

So what you do you say people is platonic of non platonic.
Is it safe to say the girl who calls it platonic, might be delusional?

I would greatly appreciate if every one keep their reply shorter.

Re: platonic ??

The girl is stupid.. platonic and "he wantd alot more" cant be on the same boat.

Re: platonic ??

if they are close friends and if they're both straight, it's almost NEVER 100% platonic from both sides. SO i would say not platonic. there are very very few exceptions- please consider my wording.

Re: platonic ??

More opinions please. So I can post next part.
Its about to get very interesting.

Re: platonic ??

Hmmmm..............if the girl is insisting that it's platonic..........then why would she accuse him of being a player later on? That in itself is a contradiction.

A "player" is a guy who can't commit......a guy who toys with a girl's feelings.....and misleads her.

A female friend is more likely to call a guy friend a "player".......if she felt played by him. So........is it possible that this girl is not being entirely honest about her feelings toward this guy? Is it possible that maybe she had MORE THAN "platonic" feeling for the guy.........and then felt HURT when he moved away and stopped communicating with her...........and then she called him a "player"???????

Is it possible that this girl is either in denial about her feelings or perhaps is not aware that she might subconsciously have feelings for him? Something to think about.

Re: platonic ??

i is the not understanding is the questions.

How is the girl responsible if the 'guy wanted more'? Perhaps from the girls side it's was purely platonic..

Why can't girls be friends with players? You don't have to get involved with the player, but you can carry-on a healthy, harmless friendship.

Re: platonic ??

Look its simple. It was Platonic because they guy never moved forward. However she wanted more from him. He obviously didn't. She was upset and thus the comments behind her back.

Delusions of Grandeur.

Re: platonic ??

just tell us the end story, did they live happily ever after :p

Re: platonic ??

"platonic" and "he is a player"
statements doesnt go together at all.

she said platonic, she will not loose others interest at the time. now guy has left her, she is b*****ng him as player!

it wasnt platonic!

Confusing story. Difficult to really know what went on. But who cares? It's their own life. If he's innocent, she shouldn't ruin his reputation though!

Re: platonic ??

Up to both of them.The guy can not force her in to anything.He may have moved out because of someother reason.

Should there any law in relationship that everything the gal insists needs to happen and others oblige to it?

She wanted the guy to try harder and he didnt so became a player. Somewhere in this friendship, she picked up the wrong signals...that the guy might be attracted to her and she might have liked him too. But since he didnt do anything...he is now a player.

Re: platonic ??

hey new mod. Let me give you some trouble to get you started.


It is true

Uh-Oh...watch out everyone...PM is out and about!

Re: platonic ??

the girl feels that she and the guy are in a platonic relationship. thats fine.

when she said "He is player". "Trust me He wanted lot more then that." ...she was perhaps making an obeservation like: "yea, dude i have this one guy friend who is ''such a player''..and i felt that he ''wanted a lot more than that''...but i dont feel the same way...blah blah etc etc.. .........get it? shes allowed to catch vibes from the guy, whether she reciprocates them or not is really not hinted in the small amount of details that you provided BobbyZee...hope this helps...

Re: platonic ??

Thank you every one.
Enough people have looked at the issue. I think I can move to next step If I still have your attention. :slight_smile:

Questions.
If girls continue long discussions with such a person. There will times where guy make his moves. Now if girls continue with those discussions. Can we say it is some what soft perversion, knowingly or unknowingly? (I came to this conclusion after girl’s claim of not liking his platonic friend in romantic way.)
Would you folks look at such relation[s] with respect?

Can her judgment about her other platonic relations be trusted? I wanted to call it “claim” but I guess word “judgment” would server the purpose.

I notice people wanted to know more details. All I can say is mostly none of us is saint. But normally we know when we make mistakes.
This situation is unique because person involved, believes to know what is going on. But after observing the situation, it feels like that may not be the case.

Thanks every one for you interest and for your replies.

Sorry if this post is not interesting enough, And you think you have wasted time reading it. :slight_smile:

Re: platonic ??

She is my very close friend's cousin. Recently divorced. She is unable to see why.

Re: platonic ??

Its not soft perversion. It is companionship. Its hard to describe. If you have been close to one person romantically (or in your case marriage) and its take away due to a break up or divorce as the case maybe, people look for the emptiness that is has come in.

Its hard to go from being married to being single when you always had someone else to look after or someone else to look after you.

For me its fine. I cast no judgement on the matter. Pakistani aunties on the other hand I can not speak for.

Wait till one of the really huge aunties like Psquared and red velvet show up.
