    ok so,,, I really love my friend, but only platonically. I mean I'm a gay guy and she's a lesbian, but I feel the same closeness that I've felt towards my strongest crushes, but just,,, not in a romantic way. I've heard of queerplatonic relationships where it's like a romantic relationship, similar to dating, but just not romantic. the same emotional closeness but no romance. and I want this with my friend, but I have no idea how to ask her. any tips/ideas?

    This sounds like a best friend?

    well the way I've heard queerplatonic relationships described does sound a lot like a best friend, but with a fancy title. and pretty much I don't know how to ask her if I can use that fancy title.

    Just ask her if you can use a fancy title to describe your friendship - she will think it's funny!

    Do you really need a fancy title for your friendship? Ask her opinion but most people could be okay with it.
