I got raised by my mother alone. My father left when I was 5 and even before, he was at work all day anyway. Then I got a step dad when I was 13, but most of my formative years I was raised by my mother alone. I imagine that's one reason for this problem.
I only have interest in female friends and basically went all polyamory because of that. This way the feelings problem isn't a problem anymore.
I had the experience that many people would somehow value me as a good friend of them, but I only see them only as an acquaintance.
