A few things to consider:

If you're eager to write the "good stuff" where your characters are
kissing, go ahead and write it out of sequence. Get it out of your
system. Now you can go back and create the "building up to it" part.
Your characters can acknowledge that they are attracted to one
another but that it's not the right time, for whatever your obstacle
reasons are. That's not platonic, but it's not full-on snogging
either.
Think about your own platonic (non-romantic) friendships. Practice
writing those scenes. Describe the last time you hung out with one or
more of your friends to whom you are not attracted. Write about how
it feels and what you did. Use that as a template to write about Eric
and Abigail not being attracted to one another.
