10 Signs They're Just Being Nice, But Not Into You¶

Ten behavioral signs that someone sees you as a friend rather than a romantic interest, per the channel.

Key points¶

They don't reciprocate: you always initiate conversations and plans, and aren't a priority for them.
They seem confused, uncomfortable, or indifferent when you subtly try to ask them out.
They openly talk to you about their own crushes and flings.
They act overly casual and unfiltered around you (changing in front of you, eating messily), without the self-presentation pressure attraction brings.
They bring other people along when you hang out, possibly as a boundary or buffer.
They say things that undercut the feelings you thought they had; learn to take compliments at face value.
They quickly deny or brush off teasing that pairs you two together.
They "ship" you with others and happily try to find you a partner, showing no jealousy.
They mainly contact you to ask for favors (errands, homework answers, covering shifts).
They ask you to set them up with one of your friends.
