Awwh...
I understand what the term "Platonic" means, but can someone give me an example of what it is?

Then why do you have a crush on them if they dont give you the time of day Quark? Obviously they arent worth you attention if the dont acknowledge you...
LadyW, Platonic love is the type of love shared between two very close friends. Example, You probably love your best friend which would be platonic because you dont have a romantic relationship with that person, just a very strong friendship.

When did crushes have to be mutual?
I know people use the phrase "platonic love" to refer to that kind of non-sexual affection, but could it also be applied to anything you just generally like. Could I say my love for potato chips is platonic? Would I be crossing the line if I took the chips to bed with me?

I take The Complete Works of Shakespeare to bed with me on a regular basis...
I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.

I don't wish to offend you, but I had a very funny (and inaccurate) idea of what the end of that sentence may be.
