I have a best friend. She is a trans woman, pre-everything. She is struggling a bit with her sexuality, but it seems that the clearest identity for her right now is pan/bi-romantic asexual. But her sexuality is a little bit of a gray area, as cited earlier. She appears to be uncomfortable with the concept of really any physical contact, though she desires and seeks out a romantic partner. She says that she MIGHT be ok with some light kissing, hugging, whatever, under certain circumstances.
She has recently met a girl, we'll call her Alexa. All I know about Alexa is that she's pansexual. My best friend, who I guess we can call Jesse, is interested in her and has recently been talking to her a lot over text. They're supposed to be meeting up in about a week or so. What I'm worried about though... Is what really differentiates between a really strong platonic relationship for her, and what would go into the realm of romance? Me and her, we are as close as can be. There really isn't anything on this whole planet that we wouldn't be comfortable with talking about. If Jesse doesn't want any physical contact with Alexa... What is the relationship she is really desiring here?
I feel horrible and unreasonable for feeling this way, but... Am I being replaced? Because what she seems to desire in a romantic relationship... Is what we already kinda have.
i would appreciate anyone's advice on this, if they're on here, and especially the words of people who identify as asexual and aromantic and how they maneuver relationships and differentiate them from friendships.
