Hi, I just wanted to say that I also experience alterous attraction the same way as you described. You don't have to say romantic things or do romantic gestures at all to your partner and you can go on non-romantic dates as well as celebrate valentines day in a non-romantic context. In fact, I find those things perfectly fitting for me, so I understand how it feels to feel uncomfortable with romantic stuff and feel "unsatisfied?" (maybe just unfitting) to feel like it's purely platonic because the attraction feels more deeper than a best friend. It's all perfectly okay, and you're not the only one who shares the same wants.

If you would like to bring it up to a squish/mush/whatever the crush equivalent is called, verbal communication is your best bet! State your limits and what you want in a QPR. It is also best to ask them what they would like in return. However, make sure not to fill them up with a lot of expectations and just go with the flow of the partnership! Remember that alterous love and QPRs are special and they require respect, trust, and communication just like any other type of relationship.
