Yes, I think so. But I think very often it can turn into a sexual thing or one of the two people involved could get a crush on the other person. I think even with nonsexual relationships like I have with my girlfriends, I think there is a beginning period where you fall in love with the other person. It's just not always sexual. You said you identified with Kate, but she's very unlucky in love.
Relationships are difficult.
So I don't think it is that different. Yeah, I don't want to date. I'm just so busy with work that it doesn't really enter my mind, but I'm sure that sooner or later it will. A Intelligence and a good sense of humor are really the most important things for me. In men especially.
