Question Platonic Love??? Did it happen to me???

My boyfriend and I are totally inlove and have been for 3 years now, nothing is wrong with our relationship and I definately want to marry him, I know we are meant to be and destined for eachother-I can truly say he is my soulmate.

Recently I have gotten so close with one of my male friends that I have just met a couple of months ago and we got so close and attached to eachother so quickly only in a few weeks when we really got to know eachother, but the only thing is the only time I felt this way was when I met my bf 3 years ago, everything happened the same way, we became quickly obsessed and attached and we are still inlove as much as ever...

but only this time with my male friend its a different kind of love, but it really made an impact on me, like I care for him so much and i love him so much, but not "like that".....I cant explain it very well. But we have no desire for sex, we just love being together and talking with eachother and I mean REALLY REALLY attached to eachother and we dont know why, I love his soul and he loves mine but I would never want to go out with him or marry him,,,,what is that??? I know I dont love him like that, its so different yet its so strong even though theres no sexual desire or physical attraction....hes cute but definately not my type for a bf......we feel mutual about everything we have been going through, its just that weve never experienced this cos I have loads of male friends and I dont love any of them, the only person I love outside my family is my bf, but now this happened!

But the only thing is, I have never had a best friend like this guy....and the closest I could label him is as my best friend but is it normal to love any other male as much as u love ur boyfriend but in a different way??? That is why I have been so scared and confused, I am not afraid of this jeopardising my own relationship with my bf, I am scared and confused becos I have never experienced this kind of thing before.....I feel guilty for paying so much attention for him, but its nothing like how I love my bf, should I feel bad???

Is this called platonic love??? Someone please tell me!

Is there such a thing as more than one soulmate for different purposes?
