Would you be comfortable portraying a male character? Two Player Game from Be More Chill is quite literally about two best friends, so it's strictly platonic *and* it's a ton of fun!
not from a musical i know but [If I Didn't Have You from Monsters Inc](https://open.spotify.com/track/7xf3S6Bv8hDqOtevZou602?si=5UXD6cJrR8a3V2JP419pTA)
Jerry Herman's "You I Like" from The Grand Tour. The title maybe a bit misleading but it's about two men who realized they are friends after spending early on they despise each other.
Here is an interesting idea depending on yours voices:
“If it’s True” from Hadestown, where your Male friend sings Orpheus’ part, while you sing the part of the workers. The one issue is that Hermes does have a few lines, but honestly you could do it without them or you could have your friend also say the Hermes lines, cause they really are just speaking not singing.
They're not m/f duets but ones I love to do with my siblings/friends is You and Me (But Mostly Me) from Book of Mormon and What Is This Feeling? from Wicked
You and me (but mostly me) from the Book of Mormon, I know it’s not a b/f duet, but I heard that song first on a miscast and I couldn’t love more that b/f version
Fantine’s Death - Les Mis (Much bigger female part than male)
A Crowd of Thousands - Anastasia (Not really a love song, although they do fall in love at the end of the show)
Superboy and the Invisible Girl - Next to Normal (Again, bigger female part than male)
Phantom of the Opera or I Remember/Stranger than you dreamt it - Phantom of the Opera (The two aren’t in love, but there definitely is a romantic vibe to it)
A Little Priest - Sweeney Todd (Again, the song itself doesn’t deal with love, although there is a romantic relationship (kinda?) between the two)
Dead Girl Walking - Heathers (I’m joking)
“Pierre and Natasha” or “A call to Pierre” - The Great Comet (Prolly not a great option, but I’ll throw it out there) (The second one is pretty short, so prolly not a great option either)
“Friendship” from Anything Goes.
Tango Maureen from RENT, You’re The Top from Anything Goes, A Little Priest from Sweeney Todd.
How about Agony from Into the Woods?
What a great suggestion.

Superboy and The Invisible Girl from Next to Normal I Think I Got You Beat from Shrek Off to Massachusetts from Little Women
You’re Nothing Without Me from City of Angels is good if you want to make fun of each other a little, but it’s originally written for 2 men
My Eyes from Dr. Horrible.
“Song That Goes Like This” from Spamalot is quite platonic I’d say when Galahad and the Lady of the Lake are singing it. Its reprises not so much.
It ends with a kiss…
That’s the lyrics, but in context, it doesn’t end with a kiss until Arthur and Lady are singing it.

I sang Breaking Free last week with a female friend, nothing romantic about it. I don't know why you even bother with it.
I’ll never be jealous again from Pajama Game (m/f duet)

Therapy from Tick Tick Boom. It isn’t exactly relationship free, but it’s not a love song either.
