'''Platonic attraction''' is a form of [[attraction]] that is defined as the desire to form a close platonic relationship (friendship) with a specific person, or to form a closer friendship with someone one already knows. The type of friendship desired can often go beyond casual friendship and revolves around a willingness to engage in a very deep symbiotic friendship, and sharing interests and experiences. Platonic attraction is not simply "a desire to have friends", rather it is an intense desire to be close friends with someone specific. One might feel intimidated or flustered when around this specific person.
