: : "Women keep platonic friends forever. Why? 'Cause you never know. That's right, they get rid of girlfriends every six months. 'What happened to Pam? - She thinks she's cute.', But they keep them platonic friends forever. Why? 'Cause you never know. You know what a platonic friend is to a woman, it's like a dick in a glass case. In case of emergency, break open glass."
: :: I can only speak for myself, but I've never had a "platonic" that I thought of as a "well, maybe one day, if I don't have anyone else". I do however keep my platonic friends around for as long as I can because they treat me like a person and not like a "piece of meat".
I have had some platonic relationships that I wanted to go beyond friendship. Which pretty much enevitably ruins the friendship when the other party does not reciprocate. For me, it was hard to keep the line between friendship and more because I looked for a best friend in my signifigant other. And happend to find that.
But, I also have some that are strictly platonic and I could never see myself with. There is just no attraction at all. 2 in particular. I've known them for 13 years and have never, ever thought of them in any other way. They are like my brothers.
