A romantic gray area where you’re more than friends but not officially dating. Named after Pluto’s “almost a planet” status — close enough to count, but never quite official.
when you're in a relationship with someone but you don't have any "love" feelings for each other.
me: "parker and I are in a platonic relationship"
person: "so...... you're friends?"
me: "no we're in a relationship, it's the same as a "normal" romantic relationship, just with fewer feelings. Our attraction is somewhere in between friendship feelings and love feelings."
Another term for a platonic relationship is a queerplatonic relationship.
Random dude: This woman and I are in a platonic relationship.
Plato: And what does platonic mean?
Random dude: It means we don't have sex.
Plato: What the fuck?
