“i wish platonic dates were a thing” have you never gone out anywhere with any of your friends ever
But a lot of people genuinely don’t do this kind of stuff with their friends though. Like… it’s not really common to go out with one close friend and just the two of you go to a nice restaraunt, or go for a walk together or whatever. A lot of people spend their time hanging out with groups of friends. Actually spending quality time with one friend, focussing on them, and doing something together, just the two of you…. isn’t a very common thing?
y’all can’t go on WALKS with your FRIENDS?????
I used to do this all the time with my friends. One of them would be available and we’d hit up whatever the fuck we felt like. Platonic dates are a thing, and are widely accepted, you just have to actually DO THAT.
