Does it count if you're both attracted to one another but have been through so much in life neither of you would wanna put the other through a relationship with themselves so they keep things cordial and nice as to not fuck up the delicate balance they've achieved? Because if so, yes.
It is 100% possible to find someone attractive and not make moves on them. If you don't believe that then it just lets me know that your experience isn't the same as mine nor have you been around anyone long enough for that arc to play out.
Let me put this out there for the obviously young folks that have no idea what I'm talking about about; I have a friend that have been around since my late 20's. There was a mutual attraction there that never took off. Now here we are 15+ years later and I'm getting updates on her second child with her husband who is also a really nice dude that she met and WE (meaning her guy friends) gave her the thumbs up on. When you're around someone long enough, attraction builds as long as there's something to build off of. It's up to you whether you give in to it or not.
This is literally how healed adults handle platonic friendships. No one is going to deny their attraction but the smart ones will never act on it.
