Dear Sam,
I have been dating “Chad” for two years and he is my best friend, confidant, and the person who most helped me grow into the adult that I needed to be. I love him, but I am no longer “in love” with him. I met a guy at work and I want to pursue it, but I still really want to remain friends. How do I go about explaining this without hurting his feelings or ruining our chance for a healthy platonic friendship.

Carol, you lost your chance at a healthy platonic relationship the third time you threw down. Sex makes babies and kills friendships. You can no more re-friend someone than you can un-fuck them. You can’t remain friends, because you are not friends. You are lovers.
Ending romantic intimacy, while demanding friendship, is akin to slashing someone’s tires and then insisting they drive you to the airport on their bare and sparking rims. Even if he wanted to you are not making it to the terminal, and there is a good chance his gas tank catches fire and explodes. So maybe just take a cab and let him call a tow truck to haul away the wreckage.

But AJ, surely you could have a rewarding non-sexual friendship with a woman?.

Sure. There are some cool chicks out there. There is no reason I couldn’t stop by for a cup of tea, maybe eat some coffee cake and play boardgames on a rainy day. I’d be downright content. But, should one day she reveal to me that she has a magic dragon in the backyard that we can fly around on and have adventures with, and we do just such a thing, the focus of the relationship changes.
And if at some point she decides that our adventuring days are done, but I can still see the dragon pressed up against the patio door, showing me treasure maps, whispering about the mysteries of the southern wilds… and I am now confined to the kitchen…ain’t no coffee cake sweet enough to swallow that bitter pill. Especially if I know that dragon is getting ridden hard by a stranger the moment I leave.

Is there anyway you could make this point using an ascending list suitable for esoteric rankings?

Your wisdom astounds me…You have a real knack with the ladies. Or with words. Or both…
and would you be so kind and sent me the number of the lady with the dragon. I’ve always wanted to ride a dragon…
