Why would a girl not like being called mate by her close guy friend & always dress smartly just for him if she doesn’t like him as more than friends?

You sure she doesn't like the guy? To me she at least has a little feeling for him. Or maybe she is traumautized b4 by being frendzoned too much... Or she in general just cares about how her friends look at her.

Yes it would have happened by now if she liked the guy.

[charlotte5]

Did you ask her out? 80%chance she likes you tho.
If it's just to you!

[Asker]

I’d say much lower chance she likes him. It would have happened by now otherwise.

[charlotte5]

If so why d the guy care so much about her behaviour? If he likes her , take some actions; else who give too much fuck on a friends behaviour?

[Asker]

Because it’s intrusive.

She probably does have feelings and doesn't want to be friendzoned. People don't always have the confidence to admit their feelings because of fear of rejection and damaging their friendship.

[Asker]

There is no way she likes the guy. It would have happened by now if she did.

[truthbeknown]

Maybe she thinks "mate" is just a term for only guys to use with other guys and she expects something a bit more elegant.

[Asker]

Like what a posh term for friend?

[truthbeknown]

I don't know what she would like or find acceptable.
