Guy or girl is desperate to or trying to make someone else jealous, sometimes I've noticed it's a bit of both

But I know some who were. Like they never even held hands or kissed.

Why would it take getting drunk for that to happen if they were always close friends and had feelings for each other?

If they had feelings for each other from the beginning, it was never a true friendship
For true friends to go to lovers, they should start seeing each other as man and woman which will only happen with a clouded mind and stimulation of their sexual senses

I’ve just seen it so many times. Couples getting together after hanging out as friends for years. It makes no sense to me.
