No, I can't. And Certainly, I only have a friendship with a romance.

Well yeah..If either one of you was homo.
Of course it's possible! I barely have any female friends. pfft (They say I'm too much of a drama queen)
Guy friends are extremely fun, and you don't have to argue with them over silly things. + If someone messes around with you, next thing you know, your guy friends fist will collide with their jaws.
Brilliant right? God I love XY

Of course you can, who wants romance to spoil a good laugh? I have a really good laugh with at least 5 men I work with but wouldn't dream of taking it further, it would just spoil things. I couldn't look at them in the same light if I'd seen them from an odd angle. :bounce:

Can you recommend anywhere? I like a bit of luxury and Drew prefers the kitchen.

I suppose I should claim that I am always too busy rescuing damsels in distress, the only problem is what to do with them when they have been rescued!? Being a knight can have its drawbacks.

And yes, I am the dating type!

Must like dogs.

Chocs, I think the SEK would have something to say if I tried! Hahahahaha!

Nothing wrong with having a female friend you fancy, sometimes it can lead to a deeper relationship but often it is purely platonic.

Re: Can you have a friendship without a romance? Sep 07, 2010
I have several platonic relationships.
Some I am happy about being as they are because the girls in question are really cool and I get on with them even though I don't fancy them. This doesn't mean we sit around discussing shoes, ill fitting bras, PMT and erogenous zones, but we can discuss more meaningful subjects such as music, films, art and the difference between the air speed velocity of the African and European swallow.

Others are platonic because the girls in question are either 'out of bounds' (hooked up, married or gay) or just out of my league. Doesn't stop me fancying them like hell, just means I have to sit on my hands and keep the whole thing in the realms of fantasy.

Which is sometimes better than reality.

None of the above stops me from being fully aware of the implications of taking a relationship from being platonic to full hard core, headboard busting, whips and chains, swinging from the chandelier status.

Just as long as both parties are aware of 'The Rules' then bring on the Richard Cleyderman CD, candle-bra and smoochy dinner for two scenario anytime. Not many girls can resist a prawn cocktail, steak and chips, black forest gateau dinner washed down with a bottle of Black Tower liebfraumilch!

I is dead posh, me!

Knight, what a refreshing post! Yes, I can believe you have a way with the ladies with your smooth talking ways. It's years since I've had a bottle of leiberfraumilch and a slice of black forest gateau. That is indeed, posh. I remember one of my first boyfriends taking me out for a meal to the bus station in Sunderland where he treated me to a plate of chips and gravy. I later married him. I have moved on now and won't accept less than a fish finger supper on a first date.
I just have one misgiving at your post. Out of your league? Never think like that Knight, no one is ever out of your league. If they choose not to appreciate what you have, then that's their loss, but out of your league? Never! Always think positive and go for it. :bounce:
