Line 4:
In some societies, hard lines are drawn between appropriate behavior for a romance vs. a friendship. For example, cultural norms might say that romantic partners are more physically affectionate or more emotionally close than friends are, as well as more likely to partner in major life activities such as buying a house or raising a child together.
Many people consider a queerplatonic relationship as being between people that have platonic (or simply non-romantic) attraction towards each other while desiring a relationship with the commitment level of a romantic relationship, although this meaning isn't true for all. Wherever
A queerplatonic relationship can be monogamous or [[polyamorous]], involving more than two people. Pursuing a queerplatonic relationship is not necessarily mutually exclusive with pursuing romantic relationships, and the term is not restricted to any identity category.
==Terms==
People in queerplatonic relationships might refer to each other as their queerplatonic partner (QPP) or 'zucchini'; a term that was originally a joke in the a-spec community about lacking a word to properly describe the term, so they could just use any word they want, like zucchini.
Someone who does not experience queerplatonic attraction and/or does not desire queerplatonic relationships may call themself aqueerplatonic.
== Queerplatonic Attraction ==▼
A queerplatonic crush can be called a "plush".
