Someone once told me that with platonic love you want to push that person out into the world in order to see them grow, whereas with romantic love you feel the opposite. A sort of willingness to let go vs an overwhelming desire to pull someone in and never ever let go.
I'm not sure if I completely agree with it but it was interesting enough to stick with me. I've forgotten the way they worded it though.
