'platonic' - free from physical desire
Usually when someone defines an interaction or relationship as platonic they are trying to communicate something else. If they are honest they may be communicating: "I recognize that there is juice between us but I choose not to act on it and desire to focus our relationship on other things."
Most often, however, the use of the platonic definition is a way of hiding your or his real intention, either from yourself or the other person, which is a way to participate in the juice...maybe. Not wholly, but partially, as in "flirting". This may be harmless but is essentially dishonest and will lead to problems down the road.
If it's just about being friends, it's ok. That won't be a platonic relationship. But you are wanna talk to the person so that you can develop a platonic relationship, it's not ok.
Why do you think it shouldn't raise eyebrows. When you say platonic, doesn't that mean that you are inclined to get along with the person for whom you have some desires, and you are trying to hide them?
All the best...
