How do you distinguish between romantic attraction and strong friendship? Something I struggle with and when romantic attachment is suggested to me I don't know whether/how to say yes/no.

If you figure it out, let me know. I'm a golden retriever girlfriend who falls in love way too quick with anyone and everyone.

Joking aside, it's the feeling of camaraderie vs desire for intimacy for me, i think.

Me too (except for the girlfriend part, though I'm not entirely sure on that front)

But don't forget the terrifying fear of intimacy and letting romance ruin a good friendship

I can't 👍👍👍👍 (this is a call for help)

I've reframed it as a spectrum rather than a binary so I don't have to think about it.
