It has been my experience that one can SUPPRESS any improper sexual desires, if they want to maintain a truly platonic relationship,(especially if they get pretty close to another person,) especially with someone who already “has someone else”. And then they can both be friends that can "be there" for each other and help each other out in ways each one needs.

It is something that I have no problem doing. But then I have long been considered to be abnormal.

I have a lot of women I consider good friends. Most of whom I used to run with when I volunteered for a EMS service. We still keep in touch as much as possible.
One woman is a very classy and smart person but has such bad judgement with relationships I call her the Lee Harvey Oswald of relationships.
Would I like to have a more than friend type relationship with her, yes. Will it happen, most likely not. I would rather not risk losing a good friend.
