i still dont get queerplatonic relationships. dates are inherently romantic, making out is romantic. wheres the line drawn from qppr and a romantic one? on feeling? there are plenty people who go into relationships and dont do romantic things/feel romance and arent ace/aro. like, theres no distinction between romantic relationship, qppr and platonic. i felt VERY platonic before i met my boyfriend (and yeah i’d make out with him BEFORE we were dating – hell one of his friends offered to kiss him, are they a qppr suddenly?)
“most people dont make out with their best friend unless they’re dating them” making out is inherently romantic and related to relationships that have the feeling of romance behind them.
heres a take on this ‘making out’ for most people has romantic and sexual connotations but in some contexts its one or the other only. why can’t it be none
another take; the consistent phrasing of ‘x is inherently y’ gives the impression that you’re not interested in learning or questioning anyone on this, bc u’ve already made up your mind. take out those assumptions and u have the answer; QPs exist bc dates and making out aren’t inherently anything for some people.
