Is it normal to feel like you're in love without sexual/romantic desire

Well, I have this friend (both of us are female) I've met months ago and I am like infatuated with her. I think about her a lot and I'm always looking forward to meeting her. When we go for coffee that makes my day. I just can't seem to get enough of her. I think she's an awesomely sweet person (I do even feel like she looks like a featherless little chicken who is to be hugged lol) and value a lot her hugs and other ways of her displaying appreciation towards me. I want to know everything about her, long to be her bestie and get jealous inside of me when she meets other people (well, I don't show it, I know it's unfair to her, but I do feel that way).
But I don't want to date her or getting sexually involved. I don't feel physically attracted to her like I do with guys. It feels like falling in love without romance or sex.
Has somebody ever felt like this? Is this normal? Might it be an actual crush without me aknowledging it? I've been straight all my life: does this mean I'm bisexual?

    No you're not bi if you could never imagine sleeping with her.
    Sounds like you're just really into her as a platonic friend and the jealousy could be your own insecurity that she's gonna abandon you for some other friend especially if you don't have many friends yourself but you never mentioned this.
    You can be in love without feeling sexual attraction, that is called asexuality, but if you're sexually attracted to men then that's not it.

    Good friendship is not being in love

    What you have sounds like a deep attachment to your friend. I suppose it's possible you love her in a romantic way as even asexual people still feel love, just no desire for sexual acts. Let me ask, do sexual acts appeal to you at all with anyone? If so then it's more likely to be that you're more so significantly emotionally attached to your friend and depending on the severity should consider seeking counselling (if it's affecting your life too much)
