Welcome! Another romance favourable here

Lately I've been reading a lot of nonfiction, mainly biographies about composers. The last books I've read, including the one I'm reading now have been about Beethoven as a politically revolutionary, how his ideology/beliefs informed his music, and how he used his music to convey an anti-abosolutist pro-revolution message pass the tight censorship of the time. The last book I've read was "Beethoven, the relentless revolutionary" by John Clubbe, and now I'm reading "Beethoven: a political artist in revolutionary times" by William Kinderman.

Welcome

QPRs are whatever the person makes them to be. In between romantic and platonic Beyond platonic/ extra platonic Completely apart from romantic and platonic. Pseudo-romantic The queering of friendship A romantic friendship etc. For me they are in between platonic/amical and solaic/exteramo relationships, so there's nothing romantic to them; and I distinguish them from QRRs which are in between romantic and solaic/exteramo relationships, with no platonicity/amicality connected to them.

1) When I connected emotionally to people (which was already an strange occurrence) I didn't feel any of the physical things people associate with romantic attraction. I do like romantic things. But when I form a bond with someone and wanna have something that from the outside may seem romantic, it's never accompanied by the physical manifestations of romantic love/attraction. But, at the same time, those feelings still seem closer to the romantic than to the platonic, thus calling them queerromantic/pseudoromantic. But the typical "butterflies in your stomach", "heart skipping a beat", "feeling nervous when you're around your crush", etc? That I never felt. In general, I connected to people intellectually rather than emotionally. 2) I couldn't understand what my "friends" meant when they said they "loved"/"were in love" a person they barely have met. To me love of any kind needed deep intellectual connection and knowledge of the person. I remember ones when a girl I went to school with and was close to told me about this guy she "met" at the gym. He was, in her own words, the "the man of her life/dreams". When I asked her what was his name she told me she didn't ask him. So I asked her why didn't she ask his name when they talk. Her answer: "I never talked to him, but seeing him help the people at the gym (he was a personal trainer) made me fall in love". It was as if she was speaking some undeciphered language. How was it possible for her to have a crush on someone she hadn't even once converse with?
