So, many folks here have commented on the scene in which Rorschach says that Dan is a good friend and they clasp hands and they stay holding hands for a liiiiittle too long and it gets awkward.  Then, once they let go of each other, Rorschach turns away and adjusts his scarf

I would like to think that it is a mixture of both. Rorschach, being a person who grew up with no friends and being a misogynist and misanthropist has had very little experience with feelings of affection. So when it comes to Daniel, being his only friend, Rorschach probably has difficulty differentiating a feeling of platonic affection from an intimate affection. I personally think he cares for Daniel to a degree that is higher than friendship because Daniel is the only person who accepts him, helps him, and understands him, but at the same time, he deeply treasures his friendship with Daniel. I'm not exactly sure if he has a sexual attraction towards Daniel; I think he is slightly attracted to Daniel, but is not explicitly attracted to him due to the years of morals that were ingrained into his head.

So yes, I think his feelings for Daniel are more than platonic but he just doesn't realize it yet or he is in denial.

I agree completely; he loves Daniel as much he is capable of loving anyone. Daniel is Ror's "precious person," to pirate a phrase from another fandom.

(And I need to get a Watchmen icon, for realz.)

Precious Person... this is from 'Chobits', right?

Rorschach is the Chi for Daniel's Hideki. XD

Oh God, I just pictured naked! Rorschach being unwrapped from white bandages XD!! And if he ever was a chobit...I think I have a pretty good idea of where his "On" button is located...:O

This. While I personally think Rorschach is an asexual, I don't think it's so far fetched to think that Rorschach holds some feelings for Dan that go beyond mere friendship.
