It makes sense that Joey would *think* she loved Dawson in a romantic way when she was 15 years old. He was someone she could rely on throughout her entire young life, and when she had nothing else, she had Dawson and his family. He represented safety, security and happiness. So, when you don't know what falling in love feels like, then it makes sense to mistake other feelings for love.
As soon as DJo got together, I think Joey started to doubt her feelings for Dawson. She, of course, still loved him as a friend and almost-relative, but she didn't love him as a boyfriend. And when she fell in love for real, there was just no going back to Dawson for anything other than a sense of security.
