What he certainly does display is for sure an obsession, but people can become that way with simple friends, although the term "simple" is something I´d discard after reaching that point. However, I wouldn´t be so fast to label an obsession as a romantic interest, as it could just as well be platonic, even though his extreme intrigue with his flesh and blood at the time he wanted to eat him would probably quite often convince some people otherwise. It´s rather ambiguous situation, so I think writing it up in an applied romantic manner(the "crushing on" seems loaded that way) would be a mistake at this point.

Tsukiyama has lacked personal insight into others for a large part of his life, so him getting this attached to Kaneki is not really that surprising, and his egoistical traits can just further that obsession.
