    That’s a working model, but I think there are different types of relationships. A type of relationship would be an element of the power set of { friendship, romance, sex }.

    One person might only like relationships without sex, another might dislike the whole romance part,…

    Each of these aspects of a relaionship has their advantages and disadvantages. The relationship as a whole is just the sum of them.

      You’re the first person I’ve ever seen use the concept of a power set to describe what kinds of relationships there can be and I wish more people knew what that was so I could preach this like gospel.

      That said, our relationship is Ø but it could quickly become {friendship} if we ever met
