Sometimes close friendships develop between men and women that seem to offer advantages over traditional relationships. They can share their ups and downs without being burdened by any expectations of having to provide the answers to each other's problems.It's not necessary to meet each other everyday to exchange their views. It could be in the form of a phone call, an email message or even a text message which would help each other to be connected. Perhaps one or both of them are coming out of painful relationships and they therefore unwind their minds to interact without the added stress of physical intimacy.Platonic relationships can be beneficial on both sides, but are they feasible to sustain over the long haul? My personal answer would be "yes" as far as both know each other very well and how far they can stretch their freedom without being uncomfortable.

Though the notion of such relationships continues to persist, the fact remains that a few people involved in the relationship manage to resist the temptation to move things to the next level.There is a fine line between like and love which keeps the relationship clean, fair and genuine.Especially women are more cautious to be alone with her platonic friend, travelling together and/or going for a spin with a vehicle. But it does not mean that men are free and expecting much more out of the relationship. A true platonic friend does not expect anything out of it....
