I feel the exact same way you do on this. Not sure what to do about it. Mostly I'd just be worried about disrupting my friendships with women, but I can just be clear about my feelings and intentions and it should be no big.

(What good would my therapy if I can't tackle this, eh?)

I think saying it and then clarifying immediately that you mean it platonically, is probably still better than not saying it. Its awkward/embarassing but so what. Its more important to express that love than it is to avoid 5 seconds of awkwardness. And the next time you say it to that person they'll know your intentions already!
