Romantic tolerance

Where relational interaction crosses the line which is considered exclusively for marriage/romance by an individual.

This tolerance varies from person to person, and can be determined by; what creates sexual desire/tension.

OBVIOUSLY: In a friendship where one person's romantic tolerance is lower, the relationship should naturally adhere to the lower standard.

(If they wish to remain platonic)

In a ROMANTIC relationship, if one person's tolerance is lower than the other, they are more likely to experience arguments and insecurity over exclusivity.

This is because the individual with the LOWER standard assumes that their partner has the same 'boundaries'/'tolerance' as themselves and become offended when their partner surpasses this limit.

Ex.
Person A: "You're cheating on me!"
Person B: "I literally just hugged them. Why are you so upset?"

In this scenario, Person A associates hugging as something that 'universally' creates sexual tension/desire because it is true for them personally.

So they label Person B as having broken romantic exclusivity.
However, Person B has a higher 'romantic tolerance' and sees hugging as an innocent form of interaction and socialising.
In reality, there was no betrayal.
"...She got butterflies every time a guy spoke to her. She had a very low romantic tolerance, as apposed to her sister who could easily have guy-friends without an issue."

MORE EXAMPLES:
(These may or may not apply to your personal romantic tolerance)
Do any of the below cause you to get butterflies/catch feelings or feel betrayed by your partner if they do them with someone else?

- Hugging
- Talking to the opposite sex/of your sexual orientation
- Following people on social media
- Holding hands
- Heart to heart conversations
- Flirtatious joking
- Kissing
- Emotional attachment
- Making eye-contact (yes, this is too romantic for some cultures and individuals)

As told by ginger

One of the better Nick teen dramas back in the day, much better then shit like Every Witch Way, H20, Winx Club, etc. the characters kind of resemble Junior, Joseph, and Cody from SML in a sort of way, even though I'm not an emo fag or whatever the other guy said about in which whom watches this, I'd give this show an ehhh.. it was pretty good, not to bad, not the best, just kind of in the middle rate for me like victorious ICarly, Henry danger, and other Schneider shows, but definitely 100x better then Side Hustle (which is just a Drake & Josh carbon copy)

glucose tolerance test

A four-letter word: hell. Doctors usually order this if you're at risk for diabetes. You are forced to fast prior to the test which can last up to five hours and your blood is taken every half hour.
I can only work part-time tomorrow because I have a glucose tolerance test tomorrow. If the test comes back and says I have diabetes, then I'm probably screwed.
