Romance isn’t necessarily sexual. Romance can quite easily be completely platonic. Dean and Castiel’s relationship is a romantic one even if they aren’t necessarily a couple. So I guess it then depends upon what you define as ‘romantic’. To me, if Castiel’s vessel were a hot-ass chick there would be absolutely no question as to the romanticism behind his/her behaviour. But because we live in a heteronormative society one dude dying multiple times for another/saving him from hell/rejecting heaven for him/killing his family members for him/betraying god for him/continually telling him everything is for him/sacrificing 50000 lives for him apparently doesn’t fall under the ‘romantic’ heading.
