i'm not asking you about a person's sexual orientation but there is something I find truly fascinating/unusual.
If you take for example, a heterosexual person who feels an incredible amount of emotional attachment to the person of the same sex or feels s/he is truly beautiful on the inside and outside. the same goes for a homosexual person who feels this for the person of the opposite sex. like, you feel so drawn to her/him but not romantically.
why does that happen? is it the same wavelength or just seeing what an incredible person someone is?
thanx

The two closest friends I've ever had were women with whom I had no sexual relationship, being bi I did have an interest, but nothing came of it. We were able to be totally honest with each other, we could share anything, we would always listen with respect to what the other had to say. Even if we ended up not agreeing, at least a fair discussion was had. We could also count on being told if we were acting like a jerk or a fool, it's good to have a friend you trust enough that they can tell you things like that. I think everyone has a need for a confidante, a person with whom you can fully share yourself emotionally and spiritually, even if not sexually. I would think it best if you could have all three with one person, but I have never been so blessed. How does it happen? I don't think it is any one thing that can be identified, in my own case, it started with my meeting a charming and attractive person and wanting to know them better. One thing I do know was that it didn't happen suddenly, we met, we talked, we started hanging our together, one day it was just known, by us and by those who knew us, that we were best friends. Why does it happen? Old fashioned as it may sound, I think such people are a gift from the Gods.

I know exactly what you mean...I'm a gay male, but I have that feeling towards two of my closest friends, which are female. With me, though, I consider them family, so I can see why I "love" them the way I do. It's human to love everyone completely and unconditionally, so it's more plutonic than anything.

That has happened to me before too and I'm completly straight. I love admiring beautiful women and not in a sexual way either. So I guess there's nothing to worry about, it's normal to admire humans because we are humans too.

It's love but not in love. You can love many people but only be in love with one person who you are sexually attracted to.
