Your best way to avoid romances will probably be to create a custom party and not recruit them. Companion cutscenes are one on one, they'll confide in you about their deepest dreams, and to me they seem pretty intimate. Depending on how much you want to thematically friendzone them, some of this stuff you'd think they wouldn't just dump on a friend. In my playthroughs, the more approval I gained from companions, the more attached my character's point-and-click voice lines were when I clicked on them. I like this, but I figure many in this forum won't dig it.
Personally I think you'll be missing out on a ton of content, but to each their own.
