The best friend who has had your back through thick and thin has been such an anchor.
So much so that you are almost in disbelief that your mind is flirting with the idea of whether he has secretly been the right partner for you all along.
Throughout your friendship with him, you have been diligent in maintaining a platonic vibe.
After so many failed attempts at dating men you have met through romantic channels, you are thinking about a different approach.
That of meeting a romantic partner through friendship.
This is new territory for you, as you have religiously regarded your friendships with men as separate from your relationships with men you are romantically attracted to.
Since you haven’t had much luck with this, you are wondering whether you should change your approach.
