Sounds like the the real question you are asking is -

"Is it ok if i obsessively worship this lady?"

Treating someone in an unearned way ( meaning you treat them like they are a blessing to others when they dont actually bless others) means that you aren't doing it for her, you are doing it for you. everyone deserves respect and consideration as a starting point. If you obsess over this, its because you are using her like an item that fits into a self made consumption fantasy that satisfies YOU, which she might not know about or even like if she does.

There is a really good chance this is a short lived crazy idea that crawled into your head that you are going to learn WHY its a bad idea... in real life.

btw isn't a 'Drag Queen' defined as a male that dresses in female clothing?

If you're in the friend zone, treating a woman like she's your girlfriend isn't going to take you out of the friend zone. A good woman won't let you and a not so good one will take advantage of you but still isn't going to decide you are boyfriend material because of it.

It's more like a man who performs as an exaggerated female character.

I remember a couple I knew ages ago and he treated her like a queen. He opened her doors, deferred to her, and always put her first. As it was I couldn't see the relationship going anywhere. He couldn't get past the politeness to get gritty. In other words she was too special.


Friends should treat friends with kindness and respect. Keep secrets and confidences. A friend should think before they speak and there should be an even balance in the give and take. With all that said, yes friends tend to classify each other in their heads in a certain way. With guys they put on labels, tags, nick names. They may classify as school friend, work acquaintance, neighbor, etc. Women may see it as a friend that loves to shop, that loves bling, that loves animals, etc.


I think if you're associating your friend in a queen category you ought to bring it up and see what the friend thinks. You may get a smile, a hug, and yup, 'That's me!' and your friendship is cemented even more.

Well, if Ann Bolyn was here, she could speak to the topic moreso than I.

ONly if you want to get treated like a doormat. But to even ask this is to be teetering on the edge of rational thought.

Royal.... as in Pain perhaps?

Nah, I treat folks with equal regard when met with the same.

Whats laughable is I work retail and some of these "female" shoppers come in and could play the part of Miranda Priestly ( Devil wears Prada). Expecting that I bow to their whims as they toss stuff at me and ask that I scurry to be their lady in waiting. I usually do wait for them to get real and be civil. After which I refer them to another staff member. I have no inclination to be subservient to them, My wage isn't based on how much arrogance the client can get away with. I'm friendly and hospitable to most to clients.
