Relationships
Platonic Partner
Short Definition
A platonic partner, as a relationship status, indicates that someone is in a committed, non-sexual and non-romantic relationship. This partnership is based on deep emotional connection, trust, and mutual support. It's similar in structure or intensity to a romantic relationship, but without romantic or sexual attraction being part of the bond. The term is often used for close friendships, but also increasingly indicates asexual connections between people that do have a romantic relationship.
