Having impersonal, platonic, amical, and queerplatonic attraction culture is always having had a list of terms for types of friends:
Acquaintance-friends
Friends
Best friends/sibling-friends
Besties/#1 BFFs
But also always having had this vague feeling that they weren't quite adequate (especially that last one)?
And then discovering the SAM, the term “tertiary attraction” and then all these different names for attractions described as “similar to platonic” or “like a combination of platonic and ____” and just going “OHHH...!!”
