Romantic or just platonic?

[Jennalyn]

I did a spread on someone I recently met who I get on extremely well with but right now it's just in a friendly way. I am attracted to him and do feel a connection with him as we are scarily alike, but no idea if he's attracted to me. Three of the cards in the spread were based on how he feels about me:

High Priestess

Queen of Cups

Page of Pentacles

Does anyone see anything romantic in there or is it just platonic? I'm genuinely lost. High Priestess I interpret as him feeling a connection to me also, but whether this is just friendly I don't know. Queen of Cups is my representative card, so I don't know if this is just me appearing in the spread of if it's him seeing me as a caring person. Page of Pentacles, no idea, perhaps he sees me as a new person in his life who has got her head on the ground.

Any ideas?

Hi Jennalyn,

Id say that he feels you as an etheric being, a sensitive person, like a sweet fairy, he has romantic feelings for you and feels a connection especially if you know him from the past, with the Page he is also sexually attracted to you.

Thank you so much for your response, could you tell me how you got sexual attractiom from the page of pentacles?

The page of pentacles has come up several times now every reading I've done with him in it, is it definitely sexual? I recently read it could mean taking things slow.... but then again, that wouldn't make sense in the feelings context, would it?

I personally don't see the Page of Pentacles as sexual, but I do see him to mean to develop the physical aspects of the relationship--and yes, like you mentioned, a slow-coming relationship that is at its beginning stage. And so, I think your reading might be saying that he likes you (Queen of Cups) and feels an intuitive/psychic connection with you but he might hide it for now because he isn't ready to reveal it yet (High Priestess) because he wants to get to know you better and take it slow to see how it develops (Page of Pentacles)

Thank you for your response! Both responses have been very helpful in interpretating these cards.

well pentacles take the material/physical part, the Page is a guy with enthusiasm who follows more his instincts, for me this Page has come up for sexual flings that are more than once, and as feelings it almost always comes when is the beginning of a new flirt, I never saw him meaning anything like stability or that the person has a long term interest, but coming with supportive cards its changing the message.

Cups (Water) and Pentacles (Earth) are both slow and passive elements--as is the High Priestess. I would read this trio to say this man feels an unspoken connection (High Priestess) and emotional bond (Queen of Cups) to you, but will move forward steadily and platonically for the time being (Page of Pentacles.) He is not yet thinking about you in a romantic way, if ever he will. But if he eventually does develop those kinds of feelings it will take a good amount of time for them to grow.

So, right now: platonic.

Edited to add:

Is he currently involved with someone else? That queen in the middle could be someone who stands between you two at the moment...someone he may be keeping secret from you (High Priestess.)

He may feel more like a child, immature or clumsy (Page of Pentacles) in relationship to you as a mysterious, spiritually-oriented, imaginative woman.

Do you or does he have any children? For me the page of pentacles always means that my children come first and will always influence the relationship.

"Just" platonic?

When Plato discussed relationships (and I assume that's why we attach his name to these things), he said (and I paraphrase, the book is in the other room), that the highest bond between two people is a true meeting of minds alongside a meeting of bodies.

That doesn't sound like a non-sexual friendship to me, it sounds like a relationship where people actually like, respect and know each other on more than just a sexual level. We should use Plato's name to describe the relationships he described, not a non-sexual friendship - what's wrong with saying "just friends"?
