sounds hella offensive but i kinda think the same way..theres really no such thing as a platonic relationship..theres always danger of one side thinking more of it all, or either side entertaining thoughts about the possibility of what could be in their minds..even non seriously..which is wrong.
also a lot of people who consider their interactions with opposite gender friends as platonic really do come off as flirty to me at times..ive seen it in real life, online,etc.. there are some kinda jokes that a girl would just not constantly make with her other girlfriends..and reserves that for guy friends..and i dont necessarily mean dirty jokes.. i mean the style and manner in which taht joke is conveyed..pretty much the girl and guy act completely different with each other than they do with other same gender friends..and that's a big enough of a difference for me to consider it non platonic.
if a relationship is really platonic then onlookers should be able to judge it that way and it's impossible for them to always get that vibe because it is really different in nature. additionally, a guy and girl who may be friends may NEVER seriously think of being with each other and hence label their relationship as platonic, but like i said earlier, that's not enough to put them off of jokingly entertaining the possibility of their relationship being more than what it is
whether or not they would ever be serious about each other in a romantic sense is not even an issue of concern if they've thought about it or given others that vibe in a not so serious sense..because from that point on it's all the same
