Platonic Friendship

I met this girl a few years ago and we had tried to become something great in a relationship but it never worked out. Since then we’ve only been best friends and we’ve told each other everything, we’ve had people leave our lives but we’ve always made sure to stay there for each other. I used to not be someone she wanted to open up to so the friendship was always one-sided sometimes but after she realized people were leaving her but that I wasn’t she decided to open up to me and let me give her advice the way she seeked from others instead. We’ve been friends for almost 4 years now, and once last year I started feeling like maybe me and her are meant to be more in the future. I started thinking the same thing recently maybe me and her will become something more in the future when we hangout a lot or go to college together hopefully. It’s very confusing to me because I don’t know if she feels the same way or not or if she has thought the same things I have. It’s told that platonic friends don’t think about anything like sexual attraction or truly being with each other so I don’t know if this is just feelings that are growing really strong for her overtime and that I’m really just in love with her deep down but I’ve been hiding it.
Friend 1: “Your relationship could be Platonic or Romantic. Platonic Friendship is not having any sexual desire for each other and not being in love.”

Friend 2: “I don’t know if I want her that way or not”

platonic bridge-salesman

A crafty smooth-talker dude who initially claims to just want a "first base" friendship with a lady, but in reality is merely using this assertion as an "opener" to eventually getting into her pants.
Hot chick: Brandon claimed he just wants to take me for strolls hand-in-hand... yeah, right... sounds like da classic "platonic bridge-salesman" pitch to me --- I've seen how he looks at me whenever I wear a swimsuit or a sun-dress!
