Sex tends to confuse people. If they sleep with somebody, it tends to make them think that there's somethign more (likewise, many people confuse strong emotions of love for lust)
had you acted on your lust for those platonic friends, you might have looked at it differently, might have felt romantically inclined - had you allowed it to go further.
Of course though, there's more than just love+lust=romance. Its a complicated mixture, romance is. But just as there's more to bread than flour and yeast, the flour remains the same if you're using it for bread or for matzah. the results will be very different depending on the other ingredients, but the flour remains the same. So too with love. The results may be different depending on what else you put into the mix, but the love remains the same.
