Having a crush/rom love differs from having platonic feelings for your friends in that you want to jump your crush's bones and become vulnerable with them in the most base instinct way possible. Also, you want to be special for them as they are to you, friends don't have that exclusivity. When I think of a friend I don't get butterflies in my stomach and giddiness. I find physically intimate play mkre exciting because it's rarer. You can cuddle, hold hands, etc with almost anyone. But fuck - mmm 😏
