Is my friend’s girlfriend attracted to me?

One of my close friends and roommates has a girlfriend. She’s attractive, but I highly respect my friend and their relationship. We don’t share many interests like they do, but we get along well over some topics, and we’re from the same region.

Lately, I’ve noticed she makes a lot of eye contact with me in group settings. At first I assumed it was just coincidence or that she feels comfortable around me, but she often looks to me for my reaction rather than her boyfriend’s. Sometimes I’ll glance around and catch her looking directly at me, and she’ll linger the eye contact for a moment. She’ll occasionally even do that while someone else is talking. It’s been happening often enough that I’ve started questioning whether she’s attracted to me.

We have good social chemistry, and sometimes she’ll come straight over to talk to me first, even in a big group. That isn’t really the issue, it’s more that he sometimes seems awkward off to the side. That could be a projection but I don’t want to be disrespectful to him. I try to include him so it doesn’t look like I’m only talking to her, but she’ll often keep directing the conversation back to a one-on-one. It doesn’t happen every time, but I’ve noticed it a few times.

She hasn’t done anything direct or clearly inappropriate, which is why I keep second-guessing myself. I’m not interested in her, but the possibility of something there makes me feel a bit uncomfortable around both of them. I’m asking Reddit because I need an outside perspective, since I can’t really bring it up with my friends.
