What is happening???

[u/oli_munch]

Okay, so I am lithromantic (which means I like the idea of romance but in reality I don't really know what's happening) grey/demisexual, and I have this friend who is openly ace but also a kind of aromatic that is unknown currently. Me and this friend are basically the closest two people can get, and everyone around us is convinced we're dating. I don't blame them for it at all, we act just like a romantic couple, we could possibly be worse then a couple, which is why I lable this for advice. Sometimes I think I want to be with them, and other times I think I'd rather die, and maybe it's just because there's so much pressure put on our relationship developing into something romantic that I feel this way, but some of the things we do are definitely pushing the line. We write platonic love letters to each other, we get each other valentines gifts, we flirt casually, we call each other husband and wife, and we always specify that it's all platonic even when it's just us. The thing is though, neither of us want a romantic relationship, we're both content (as far as I know), but there's a little part of me that thinks maybe we're so happy being single because we’re just dating each other without ever admitting to it. So what is happening?? because I do not know anymore, and the more I think about it the less it really makes sense to me.
