yeah, typhonsentra, thats probably how it will be. Meaning that we will never see an actual love between the two. More like build up to it, but even then, when important link (physical relationship) is missing you can hardly imagine it being a build up as simply love is not progression where it evolves from one type into another - it is a constant mix of them both and when one part of the mix is missing, it gets pretty hard to imagine them as a couple.
There is one way how such animes compensate the lack of physical relationship. I call it partner perception. Basivcally the do percieve each other as source of attraction (like Jin for Nagi from Kannagi) and this creates an illusion that there is some sort of romantic development though actually physically they are pretty far.
In Toradora such perception from both leads really come into play at the end of volume 7 and volume 8, so they cannot even offer this. You have to compensate it by interpretations but those can be rather vague...
