The Incompatible Relationship Between Friendship and Romantic Relationship

There's actually this like short paper called Ken Lovers Be Friends or something like that by Conlin. He says you can't just combine these different types of like relationships because it's not like this ladder where, okay, we're friends. Now we're moving on to the next level, like partners. But I don't know if I'm entirely convinced that friendship is like completely incompatible with romantic relationships. Eric: It's probably possible for some people, but maybe not for other people.
