Welcome to the You Can Call Me Karen Podcast! This week we are excited to share a bonus episode that continues our discussion of friendship from season 1. In this episode of our podcast, we explore the intriguing question: Is it possible to have platonic friendships with someone of the gender you're attracted to?We delve into the complexities of platonic relationships, examining the boundaries and dynamics that come into play when attraction is a possibility. Can true platonic friendships exist without romantic feelings getting in the way? Tune in for an eye-opening conversation on friendship, attraction, and the balance between the two.
