Sort of both. Hard lesson learned, you will rarely have a more deeply relationship with someone if you both do not work at and become friends first. At least something real and lasting.
I genuinely love my female friends and yes, at a time or so there may be the almost inevitable flirt or lustful thoughts towards something neither would follow through on. Often times not out of respect for each others partner. Will admit, I loved that sexual tension if I were to be honest, but I am fortunate to have developed a trust with my wife now that it would never lead to anything really happening physical with anyone else. Does the fact non-sexual is not an option make the feeling for her less deep or important?
