When two people mutually trust eachother on a very high level, more than a simple relationship. The only difference between this and romantic dating is a lack of sexual and physical desire in a partnership. The two people often do actions that are borderline couple-y, but are lacking an actual romantic attraction. Although technically, you are "just friends", both of you know it's more than that- hence platonic dating. It's a relationship without the benefits (being sex). Often times, people ask when you'll be a couple/if you're a couple/why you're not a couple. Things that you won't tell or let another person do? You'll find yourself telling this person, or doing them with them. Sometimes, one, or both, of the people in the relationship will question if they're actually in love with the other. And they may be, but there's something holding them back. And that's that they know that they are better off platonic, and work well this way. Pet names such as "babe", "baby", "honey", "love", "sweetheart", etc. are common amongst you two. However, these sorts of relationships have to come to an end, with a usually unofficial "breakup". This typically happens after one person finds themselves actually dating someone (in a romantic or sexual manner). If the breakup does not occur.... Then odds are, that person and their other partner will not last long. A super strong friendship that makes people question if you two are romantically involved.
