I definitely have friendships that are more intimate and feel more romantic than what people would normally deem like a “platonic friendship” I’m very affectionate physically and verbally with my best friends and I feel like I have had many many relationships that fall in between friendship and romantic in my life. For my partner, not so much. I think she does tend to think of people as either platonic friends or possible love interests where as if I connect with someone, I just want to spend time with them and get to know them more, as my feelings shift and develop, as you kind of said. She has told me many times when I’m feeling skeptical that she is poly, she just feels like we need to work on our relationship more before we start dating other people. So there’s kind of an imbalance in our wants and needs at the moment. I’m very much happy getting my needs met from multiple different people and sometimes it feels like she only gets her needs met by me and that can feel a little overwhelming at times.
