Taking sexual relationship as its own thing, separate from romantic relationship (i.e. separating the sexual and romantic aspects), what is the difference between a friendship and a romantic relationship? What differentiates them, exactly?

The major difference is the feelings involved. It’s very hard to describe how romantic affection feels different from platonic affection, but it does.
I think I experience some level of romantic attraction to everyone I feel close to, and it’s been this way my entire life. I also largely haven’t experienced sexual attraction across almost my entire life.
I know I have some wires crossed, but only recently have I gotten an appreciation of how different I feel from most people.
I wonder how many people are out there like me.
