That’s where we’re at right now, actually. Thousands of miles between us means friendship is the only connection we can maintain.
My twin flame and I are good friend at the moment. But our friendship seems different than others. Sometimes, I’m confused whether we should start something romantic together or not. Most important I want to trust divine timing 
Okay, so reading this thread, and I need to say something from the other side. I’m the one who pushed for ‘just friends.’ I’m the runner who put us in this situation, and the guilt is… a lot. I genuinely thought friendship would be easier for both of us. Like, if we could just take the pressure off the romantic stuff, maybe things would be calmer. But feelings don’t actually go away just because you slap a different label on things.
Staying friends while I sort myself out might actually be keeping both of us stuck. She’s waiting. I know she’s waiting even though she says she’s not. Some people believe friendship can work as a foundation for union eventually. Maybe. But only if the intent is real growth and not hiding. Which is what I’m doing. Trying to do. I don’t have answers. Just wanted to offer the runner perspective because I rarely see anyone admit this stuff.

I think it’s hard to remain friends because the emotions are too strong. Far too strong.
Your twin flame is your best friend by far (it feels childish trying to put it like that) but I can’t imagine having any kind of connection with anyone else that feels even close. Platonic or otherwise.
But I can’t imagine being just friends.
I think maybe I’ve been using the idea of friendship as a way to make the intensity feel more manageable? Like if I call it friendship, I can pretend the pull isn’t as overwhelming.
Maybe you can start as friends, but it naturally evolves into lovers as you complete your inner work.
Focus on how your body responds when you’re with them in ‘friend mode.’ Are you calm or constantly on edge? Can you actually relax, or are you performing relaxation? If you’re tense every time you interact, the friendship label might just be a way of ignoring what you actually need.
I think it would be hard to have a friendship with your twin flame, especially if there’s spiritual sex prior to union.
Sometimes it feels like our history is more important than any label. I keep thinking about the first time we laughed together in that little café. Even as just friends, he gets me in a way others never have.
If there are only two options to choose from, to be just friends or to lose contact altogether, I would definitely choose to be friends. I would choose the highest level he wants from me, instead of losing him totally. It is he who is important for me, and not the form of relationship he wants us to manifest. Love is above all forms. And if he wants me out of his life totally, it’s painful but I will accept it, because I love him and I want the best for him, what he sees now is the best for him. In this case, I will love him from a distance, with my soul, above all human social categories.

It’s way too hard to even try. The emotions are too strong. And the sex is way too amazing to ever just be friends. It will never work in the long term. Maybe no more than a few days at most.
Before anything happened between us, I was happy thinking we could be just friends…for a while. But since separation which we’re 6 months into now, I don’t think I could. I’ve been just friends with people I’ve liked before, and that was difficult. But now I am immersed in this journey, it’s a new level! As much as I want contact and I want to be in his life, just friends would not be sustainable at all for me.
Think its way too intense for that for me anyway being around her is like being in an electric field.

I tried, but the sexual attraction is too much for me. It didn’t seem fair to his current relationship. We started out as friends I think but that could never have lasted like that.
A true TF connection cannot stop the magical magnetic field of each other. There is no way a real TF would ever want to just be friends with the counterpart. I don’t think anyone really on this journey could stay friends.

Friends FIRST - sure. But happy to stay that way? No chance.
I’m still figuring this out, but I’ve realized that if friendship is all we have right now, I need to protect my own space and feelings. I’ve started setting little rules for myself - no late-night calls, no obsessive texting. Just trying to give myself some breathing room.
Not possible. The attraction towards each other is so intense that neither party can resist, even if both try hard to avoid it and to deny or repress it. Even “friendship” feels too different. Sexual energy in TF dynamics is the deepest and highest form of connection.
Nope.. when you think about someone day and night and want to reach out to them 24/7 it’s more than friendship and can’t be just friendship as you would be a very disruptive friend
TFs are defined by mutual unconditional agape. Given that nothing else matters. It is what it is: Divine Love. The rest is noise.
I’d rather be friends than live in silence.
No, just friends isn’t possible for twin souls; they are destined for each other and will always come together in union in the end.
The first meeting will often be a glimpse of that and will trigger a spiritual awakening that can only be solved by separation and spiritual growth, a very intense process of heartbreak where the contacts have to be cut and everything will fully fall apart so that you have to discover everything from the start, relearn everything you thought you knew and develop spiritual mastery on your chosen missions. In the end, you meet again undeniably

Maybe it works for some? Maybe you need a foundation of friendship if you want to heal together.
