Friends irl aren't really dependable or reliable. The only ones whom have stuck with me have either : fallen in love with me or borrowed money from me and have never returned it back. I don't have any irl/offline friends because it's not worth it. I've PERSONALLY IRL ONLY experienced melodrama, petty jealousy and spending my money. So yeah, not as positive as my online friendships experiences. I consider my online friends family. How about you?
 
Forgive me for asking, not trying to hurt your feelings or anything like that, but those friends who fell in love with you... what's so bad about it? Isn't love supposed to be a good thing? :)
 
Just because you’ve met a few bad eggs doesn’t mean everyone is out to get you.
 
If you have a good friend and they really try. Don't let them go.

There's different types of love. You can love a friend of either gender and not have sex. I've had male and female friends tell me in the past that they loved me like a brother. I think depending on the person. When they express their feelings, you have to use common sense and good judgment. Even if you have someone say that they love you, it doesn't mean they want to sleep with you. It just means you're like family to them and that's something to be proud of.

Believe me it's nothing like that, one has asked me for sex outright and another has been wanting to cheat on his girlfriend with me so yeah (which I've refused because that's morally and ethically wrong for me personally). That sucks right?
 
I’m aro-ace, sex phobic so yeah.
Oh. I see. Honestly, I've never even heard of that term until now, so I had to Google it to see what it means. I understand now. Thank you for the clarification. :)

...and another has been wanting to cheat on his girlfriend with me...
You know, some people would find that flattering, although it's a red flag which suggests that if he's willing to cheat on his current girlfriend, he'd most likely cheat on you too with someone else, so like the Matrix Agent, you dodged that bullet. :)

Yeah, I’m also sex-repulsed and touch-negactive. Which means I fin tbh sex to be gross and disgusting and I hate being kissed and touched, not even family or parent. And finally, I think sex and romance are overrated and not basic necessities of life, at least not for me personally anyways, hence why the issues with those friends who have fallen head over heals in love with me, @Smiley.

Do you have any "Disney Rated G" friendships?
 
I see. I must admit, I've never met anyone like you. I also prefer not to be touched by anyone, especially without my explicit permission, and don't care about sex and relationships either, but I'm not so strongly repulsed by them like you are. I just think they complicate life more than it has to be.

When you think about it, life is like a mathematical equation. The less unknown factors it has, the easier it is to solve. :)

Wow so you and I can be platonic friends only? You male or female? I’m female, @Smiley.

Nop what’s that?

The kind of friend that you can talk to and trust. The kind of friend that's got your back when you're in deep shit and will help bail you out. The kind of friend that's like your family.

Sure, why not. If you're looking for an online friend, I'm ok with it. Not sure how active I'll be able to be, or if I'll even stick around, but, as long as I'm here, my virtual doors are always open for you. :)

Also, I'm male. It's not a secret. Says so on my profile page. :)

Great I’d love a platonic male friend, mind sharing your fb page with me? Please pm me.

Oh, Facebook. Yeah, I don't use social networks. I don't see the appeal in them. Please forgive me. :)
