Platonic Tension

In between a friendzone and getting along too well, typically seen when two friends are displaying symptoms of a failing relationship and form an intimate bond.

"Ricardo and I have been experiencing platonic tension since the beginning of the semester."
"I can totally feel it. You guys are both in a failing relationship, right?"
"Yeah, we bonded through our pain."

Platonically Cucked

(n.) A situation in which you're friends with a person or a group of people in theory, but they ignore you frequently, barely invite you anywhere, or have a group chat without you.

Bro, did you hear about how Anna cut off her entire friend group recently? Guess she finally got fed up with being platonically cucked.

Platonic Handjob

A platonic friendship that goes dirty for a quick second of pleasure where a handjob is issued out to the lucky receiver.

Male equivalent of platonic fingering

Not to be confused with Atomic Handjob

So what happened last night?

Nothing much, just a platonic handjob.

Platonic Friendship

I met this girl a few years ago and we had tried to become something great in a relationship but it never worked out. Since then we’ve only been best friends and we’ve told each other everything, we’ve had people leave our lives but we’ve always made sure to stay there for each other. I used to not be someone she wanted to open up to so the friendship was always one-sided sometimes but after she realized people were leaving her but that I wasn’t she decided to open up to me and let me give her advice the way she seeked from others instead. We’ve been friends for almost 4 years now, and once last year I started feeling like maybe me and her are meant to be more in the future. I started thinking the same thing recently maybe me and her will become something more in the future when we hangout a lot or go to college together hopefully. It’s very confusing to me because I don’t know if she feels the same way or not or if she has thought the same things I have. It’s told that platonic friends don’t think about anything like sexual attraction or truly being with each other so I don’t know if this is just feelings that are growing really strong for her overtime and that I’m really just in love with her deep down but I’ve been hiding it.

Friend 1: “Your relationship could be Platonic or Romantic. Platonic Friendship is not having any sexual desire for each other and not being in love.”

Friend 2: “I don’t know if I want her that way or not”

Platonic Pocket

It's like the friend zone but better. It's a list of friends you keep around for when the relationship doesn't work. You pick a friend to pursue a relationship with and continue adding on to the list for next time.

I'm going to put him in my platonic pocket just in case things don't work out.

Platonic mutthi

“Platonic mutthi” refers to a unique and profound emotional bond characterized by deep conversations, the sharing of perspectives, and a connection so intense that pursuing a romantic relationship feels inappropriate.This dynamic involves a significant attraction on both emotional and intellectual levels, where individuals resonate deeply with each other’s thoughts and feelings.Despite this strong attraction, altering the nature of the relationship to a romantic one is seen as diminishing its purity.It embodies the most sacred form of intimacy between individuals of different genders or sexes while remaining entirely platonic.This phenomenon highlights the beauty of connection devoid of romantic entanglement, celebrating a deep sense of understanding and friendship.

Despite their deep emotional connection and shared intimacy, Kavan and Purdy cherished their platonic mutthi, knowing it was the most pious form of friendship.
