What differentiates romantic love and frienship besides sex?
| first of all, sex isn't always romantic
| I consider it a continuum. So every friendship is romantic to one degree or another to me.
Sex plays into it, but only in consideration of the fact that it's sort of an act of trust if you have insecurities, which most people do. It doesn't differentiate between friendship and love by itself, you just unlock it at a certain love level, so to speak
| You tend to understand why you want to be around your friends. You have similar interests, you've been through the same stuff, etc... You don't have delusions about your friends. Love can be like no reason, you might even hate them, you just HAVE to be close, then you imagine and invent to make up for it depending on how obsessed you are.

I think that I have the exact same ideas as both of you. I'm just sort of in the middle pf a crisis.
| I personally believe that love is when you think about someone and you make conscious efforts to not fantasize stabbing or shooting them in the eye
| Note also that I'm not in need of a support group. I'm just trying to figure some things out about myself.
