I can truly understand your reasonings from the society of India point of view, as I've had close Indian friends who have explained and expressed this same factor to me. I also agree with the statement you made in the latter part of your reply, that if something does develop, then no harm done. Thanks for that extra worthy input. Take Care.

Very true
I think companionship is not valued enough. Raised to fill into the 'slots' of relationships, we tend to forget friendship and companionship. In traditional societies like India, widows especially have a hard time - remarriage is frowned upon and they live very lonely lives - either dependent on their children (who have their own lives) or by themselves. Companionship of the same and opposite sex is essential I believe. And, if it does result in a physical relationship, no harm in that too. We all need to be held and cuddled.

r v c
a relationship includes the physical part yes and the reason the physcial part would be hard would be a result of abuse early on...companionship is a safe zone i think.

Comment on Companionships
Kate and I have been together for 37 years. She is 59 and I am 74. We met when she was only 22, and she is my most precious companion, giving me two fine sons, while we still grieve the loss of a third. joab

companionships
companionships are like you say a relationship..the difference between a companion and a loving relationship is that with a companiinship intimacy is missing...and most of us want/need intimacy in order to fully flourish..but each to there own and i wouldn't knock anyone else's veiwpoint
