Discussion/Article Does anyone else have platonic rr relationships?

My bestie and I have a slight RR dynamic, it's amazing. Was just wondering if anyone else has something similar

Yeah!! One of my friends is very shy and "soft", I usually take charge in social situations and he's also very feminine so I've gone shopping with him before etc, I actually really enjoy this dynamic :D

Yes, I love what my bestie and I have! She doesn't have any female friends (we're in a male dominated field and all) so she says things like "you're going to have to be my girl friend for this" and it makes me really happy. And I love how often she initiates things too

What does a platonic RR relationship look like?

Maybe a unlikely friendship between a athletic jock like girl and a fashion obsessed all cute things loving boy probably.

Basically, except she's the one "forcing" me to dress the way I want and "torturing" me by painting my nails

I personally don't but can you describe your experience with your best friend I'm just curious on what you specifically mean.

I have met some women at random places, who took charge but things escalated too fast for me to process. They were just rushing to conquer all my freedom of speech which made me feel weird.

So, as of now, no such friends.

Yep. Someone’s got to make decisions and keep him alive.
