A relationship without intimacy is a Friendship a friend said...

I feel like this that I'm just a option or as they say in the friend zone

These are two different statements so I'm confused too

What's going on?

Inclined to agree.

So are you in a relationship with someone already and they aren’t kissing or cuddling you or aren't wanting to have sex or what?
How longs the relationship? Sometimes after like 20 years or whatever you just aren't as sexual. But after like 20 days or weeks I’d not expect that!

more info required.

Well Yes, that’s pretty much the difference between friends and partners. It’s like when 2 ten yo say they are “dating” as school.

I agree with that statement. Though if it’s long term, even after 20 odd years, I would still expect intimacy and affection, I wouldn’t want to be in a long relationship without that.
