YES LANGuAGE PROBLEMS YES. LIKE. WHY AREN'T THERE MORE WORDS.

I mean, I'm not asexual, I actually identify as pansexual but simplify it to bisexual for most ppl because close enough and no one knows what pansexual is - but I still have this issue with there are JUST. NOT. WORDS.

In my case, and this was actually pretty recent in my life, I developed a friendship with a person that is, emotionally, way too intense to but 'just friendship' in my mind. And it was actually really confusing to me, because I am used to intense emotional feelings always being attached to a component of sexual attraction on some level, if I'm not biologically related to the person. But with this particular relationship, I was like WOW SO I LOVE YOU LIKE I LOVE MY HUSBAND. BUT. I DON'T WANT TO HAVE SEX WITH YOU ????!!1??!

And so I wound up doing research, and I found this term that was in use back in the 1800-early 1900s, when rich women still paid 'companions' or formed intense friendships with other women where they pretty much lived together forever, and wrote each other love notes and stuff, but as far as historians are aware, they weren't actually lovers, and the term is 'romantic friendship.' So I was all. OH OKAY THEN. And suddenly much less confused because I had a thing to call it now? But 'we have a romantic friendship' is kind of a mouthful and it just makes people assume I mean we're fuckbuddies, so we just decided to be sisters. So. SISTER NAO.

I'm not sure where I'm going with this anymore. Anyway, the point is, YES. GIVE US MORE WORDS.
