Is the difference between platonic love and romantic love a matter of kind or just of degree?

Yes

I think it can be both, and neither. I believe that there is erotic love. I believe there is platonic love. There's also phillios and agape. Love need not be static, however. I can be in the presence of someone with whom I am romantically attached, just being in their presence and not think of it at all as being romantic, but just friends spending time together.

Platonic love can become romantic. Romantic love can become platonic. And then there's just plain love.....
