Platonic relationship weirdness?

So this is bizarre!

I can't say I have heard of it happening, certainly not with anyone I know.

I met up with a friend who I haven't seen in 6 years over the weekend.

Stayed over at her's for the weekend, so on Friday we drank 2 bottles of wine and chatted for 2 hours, completely ignoring a movie we put on.

Now I am fresh out of a complicated scenario relationship-wise, and I am not looking for anything, even casual. She's been single for just under a year, after a 4 year relationship, and is also not wanting anything.

So we are kinda on the same page, and just chilled and chatted etc over the weekend.

Now the thing that is weird, is that ended doing a lot of couple type things even though neither of us wants anything.

Sort of like the comforting aspects of a relationship that you tend to miss after being single for a while. General physical contact, cuddles, sharing a bed, but everything with absolutely no sexual/physical connotation.

We spent most of Sunday intertwined on her couch under a blanket, watching Hollyoaks/Eastenders omnibuses, whilst randomly tickling or trying to scare eachother.

Just nice. Comfortable. Pleasant.

It's really weird, it's like we are doing one small aspect of a relationship, that never occurs in platonic friendships, but still keeping it platonic, lol!

I don't mind, in fact it's really nice considering the recent crap I've gone through, I was just wondering if anyone else has had something like this, or knows someone who did.
 
Sounds like neither of you had the guts to make the final move towards swapping body fluids.
 
But I don't want to, you see?

And she doesn't either.

It's like some of the nicer, more chilled aspects of being with someone, but without the hassle/drama/etc

And no, she doesn't ming, she's pretty hot actually.
 
I think professional help may be needed.

3 weeks ago, my fiancee and I split up.

I didn't want it to happen, but it had to.

I am NOT looking for anything at the moment, be it casual or serious.

And we would not work as a couple anyway, we now this because it was on the cards 6 years ago, but we decided against it.

Well I guess it is a rarity, I'll just have to go with the flow and enjoy it :D

I don't believe this for a moment, and nor do you. There is no such thing as a 100% platonic relationship: sex is always there - sometimes highly obscured, sometimes right in front of you.

The tickling and messing about is just another precursor to sex. Fore-foreplay, if you will. I had exactly this situation with a girl in halls. We were good friends and behaved identically to you - we messed about, 'slept' together wrapped up in each other etc etc. It was clear, after a while, that there was a sexual tension and we'd just been denying it. We ended up dating for several months after that.
 
BONE HER

:D

I wish i was in that situation, cuddles and general tomfoolery without the complications of a relationship.
 
I've had friends like that in the past, I know what you mean about lying under a blanket watching a movie etc not really even thinking about doing much else and it just being a pleasant situation... but a few weeks/months down the line it always ended in riding
