Say what you mean!
Relationships can be hard; especially boy-girl friendships. Certainly it can be awkward if one thinks perhaps this FRIEND of mine thinks of me more romantically than platonically. However, it can also be incredibly anal to presume that this is the case. If one does feel this way, don't bring a third party into the mix; this creates a ridiculous sense of he said she said...which goes NO WHERE and causes ample frustration to all parties. I in particular, an incredibly frustrated person at the best of times, do not appreciate these types of situations; if one is concerned that a situation may be awkward due to not knowing the other party's thoughts, they should ask them directly. If you are as good a friends as you suppose, this should be no problem. If indeed the other party does think this is more than a platonic gathering, they will probably be far too embarrassed to say so, hence resolutely deciding to be platonic and avoiding awkwardness completely. Oh look at that, an adult, reasonable, rational and simple solution that does not result in frustration, hilarity and stupidity!
