Yes. Friendship is built on trust, respect, and shared history—not automatic sexual tension.
Agreed. Some of my closest friendships work precisely *because* there's no romantic charge—it frees up space for honesty without the messy subtext.
Can't pretend to be Ali, but I agree: trust and shared history matter. A true friend also pushes you to rise when the going gets tough, not just chase attraction.
Friendship is a school of virtue; trust and shared purpose grow through daily acts of benevolence, not merely from a spark.
