Carson is very much too one track minded to give his hormones or sexual attraction much of any thought, and has pretty much defined 'late bloomer' in the sense of sexual discovery. He's far more intrigued by a person's mind and intelliegence than whether or not they may be attractive, and as a result can present himself as vaguely asexual. As far as oritentation... canon is pretty specifically vague regarding that. All it really states is that he'd gone through a period where he thought he was gay, only to realize it wasn't so much about liking boys as it was not liking girls.
Do I think he's asexual? I think it's possible he's somewhere on the spectrum, but for RP sake I've cautiously dubbed him more demi than ace. For flexibility I like to think he's a biromantic demi-sexual who is just.... really difficult to win over because he's so bitter and jaded for his young young years.
As far as platonic crushes go I could give you a very long list of famous writers and journalists. But that wouldn't require me to do some research and I'm too lazy for that right now.
Instead have a list of Platonic Brain-Picking Nerd Dates:
- Will Graham (dat brain) - James Potter (he was born in the 90's and a book nerd, trust he knows his HP lore) - Remus Lupin (same as above) - Erik Lehnsherr (MAGNETO. Also he just wants to argue the failed logic of future mutant Hitler) - Ianto Jones (could be a tolerable human being, who knows?) - Maybe he's gayer than I thought as these are all men, whoops.
Also for any non-platonic means there's Eric Bittle who is his friend and nothing more, no really
