platonic divorce

- the dissolution of a non-sexual, non-romantic relationship; usually the dissolution of a friendship

Platonic divorces are rarely hostile and normally occur when friends drift apart either on purpose or by chance.

Platonic divorces between women are often irreversible and can never return to the 'pre-divorce' state.

Platonic divorces between men are more easily reversed. It only takes a phone call saying, "Hey bud, I got a case of beer. You wanna come over to watch the game and get hammered man??"

Currently, platonic divorces between a man and a woman are completely irreverible.
e.g. After Gwen moved to Vancouver and stopped sending even Christmas cards, she and Maria platonically divorced.

e.g. Greg platonically divorced Jane after not being invited to her wedding.

e.g. I think Lara and I will get a platonic divorce if neither of us call within the next couple months.

platonic pick up artist

A person who is looking for friendship and companions but not sex, yet goes about this task like a gross pick up artist would
The guy who hangs around the pizza place near the university started talking to me and gave me his number, then texted me first thing in the morning! He wasn't hitting on me, but damn he was creepy! I hate platonic pick up artists like that!

Platonic Fluffer

A man who invests time, and dance moves to emotionally stimulate a woman to sexual arousal only to see her leave with another man.
That guy she is dancing with is obviously her platonic fluffer because she is leaving with that other guy any time now.

platonic orgy

When a bunch of friends get together and there's lots of group hugging involved, usually without socks!
Man me and my friends kept on having so many group hugs, I got so sweaty from touching all of them. It was like having a platonic orgy!

Remember that big group hug where we took off our socks? It was like a platonic orgy, lol.

Platonic

Being platonic means having someone who loves you for who you are without complicating it with sex.
It's an interdependent relationship and usually lasts decades if done correctly.
There is no expectation, no jealousy.
My best platonic friend always told me I would see the pattern more clearly as time went. I'll always love him for his insight.
