'''Queerplatonic relationship''', also called a '''quasiplatonic relationship''', '''quirkyplatonic relationship''', or '''qplatonic relationship''' (abbreviated '''QPR'''), is an umbrella term for any relationship that bends the rules for telling apart romantic relationships from non-romantic relationships.<ref>shades-of-grayro on Tumblr: [https://shades-of-grayro.tumblr.com/post/190216590460/queerplatonic-relationships-an-introduction-image Queerplatonic Relationships: An Introduction]</ref>[[File:Queerplatonic alt.png|thumb|220x220px|Another common queerplatonic flag.]]In some societies, hard lines are drawn between appropriate behavior for a romance compared to a friendship. For example, cultural norms might say that romantic partners are more physically affectionate or more emotionally close than friends are, as well as more likely to partner in major life activities such as buying a house or raising a child together. |

Wherever those lines are blurred, that relationship can be called queerplatonic. For example, queerplatonic relationships can include friendships and ambiguously-romantic relationships that go beyond friendship norms in emotional intensity, physical affection, or other areas. Some queerplatonic partners also live together or get married. Queerplatonic relationships can look different for everyone, depending on what the people involved are comfortable with. |
