Platonic Relationships?

Years ago, I made friends with a guy on Instagram. I don’t remember who started following who first or even how it started, but I noticed that he posted something about the church he attended. I recognized the church because when my church was smaller, we would do youth events with his church. I mentioned that to him, so he invited me to come one Sunday and check it out. So I went. And then the following week, he came to my church. And that was kind of how our friendship started. 😎🤝🏽At the time, I was leading a Life Group for young adults, which was basically a home Bible study group. He started to come and was really enjoying it. I can honestly say, from the beginning, I never had any feelings for him or liked him as more than just a friend. I was just enjoying getting to know him. But people from my group would tell me that he liked me and say what a cute couple we would make. I would tell them that I don’t think he likes me. He just had a friendly, outgoing personality. He was really funny, handsome, well-spoken and godly. But I knew he didn’t like me, and I didn’t like him either. But after a couple of months of people saying this, I decided to ask him straight out. We were talking on the phone one time, and I told him I wanted to ask him something. I said, “Have you ever seen me as anything more than a friend? Do you have any feelings for me that are more than just a friend?” 🤔He replied, “No, Monique. I’ve only ever seen you as just a friend.” I was like, perfect! I knew it! 😀👍🏼It just confirmed what I already knew on the inside. So now, for the past several years, we have maintained a good friendship. There’s never been anything between us other than a friendship. So, I do know it’s possible.
