RIGHT?! Diane Chambers, Monica Geller, Leslie Knope, Amy Santiago...I adore them, even if they would probably drive me crazy at times.

Diane Chambers is one of my big sitcom crushes. When it comes to fictional characters, I have a thing for dorky, awkward, overachieving women. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

As an emotional feeling, it's a grey area that isn't completely platonic or romantic. Like "I'm not looking to date that person, I'm happy to be close platonic friends, but if they wanted to date, I wouldn't say no." I think as a relationship, it would look a lot like a qpr.
