writes:Weird one, would just like your take on it.Best friend is female, few years younger. We spend a lot of time together, like a lot of time. People often think we're a couple but we're not. Mutual friends used to think she liked me but she denied it.All our friends know we're not a couple but we often get invited to stuff together because we are single and generally would take the other to a do we were both invited to. It's better than going on your own. And share driving!A mutual friend is getting married next year and invited my best friend and I to go, via separate invite (or, emailed us separately to ask us to keep the date free). The mutual friend then tells me that my best friend had got angry at her, because in her email she said she wanted to invite both of us together. Why would she get upset about this? Our friend knows we're not a couple, she was implying nothing other than that we might like to go together (as we would 90% of the time to a do). Why would my best friend get angry about such a silly thing? Even if someone was to mistake us for a couple, why get narked about it like that, it's no big deal?

 I find it strange your friend would invite the two of you together. In the end, our mates our often our best friends in the world.
Do your friends think you two should be together? Why? I think your friend was offended because the bride to be was perhaps hinting that you two wake up and get together. I am guesing at this, but maybe you should conside it.

 This is a tough one. It could really go either way...
I have seen women behave in this manner because yes they DO like the guy, but they are embarrassed by it because they don't think you like them, and i've seen women act that way because they DON'T like the guy, and are tired of everyone making the mistake that they do.
I guess the real question is: how do you feel about HER?
Any romantic feelings at all? Strictly platonic and you want it to stay that way?
Really it comes down to you, i think. If you're happy just staying friends, then i would probably leave this alone. Just let sleeping dogs lie.
However, if there is some interest on your part in testing the waters for something more, then i would try to talk to her about it.
