I would presume they are a polite person who just happens to have little interest in me or even doesn't like me, but is a nice enough to not kick up a fuss about it? Not everyone gets along with each other, that's life.

It's been a long time since I've seen this movie so maybe I've forgotten something, but I got the impression he basically just avoided talking to her or mostly interacted with Peter when he could help it. Which, yeah, he apparently has a big crush on her and she's dating his best friend, it's understandable that he'd want to avoid her.

Yeah, and if that's someone who loves the person you love the most, or if it's someone you have to spend a ton of time around, it sucks and hurts.

...really? "Hurts"?

Sometimes people don't like each other. Shit happens, people have different interests, they don't have much in common, etc - even leaving out the crush, there's only so much they can talk about the one guy they do have in common. If they don't share anything else, then any interaction between them would be awkward anyway. People often have to spend tons of time around people they have no interest in or even actively dislike because they share friends, and the best thing to do in that situation, if you can't make friends, is to keep interaction to a minimum to keep the peace. As far as we know, they aren't trapped with only each other for company or anything like that, so it's not particularly detrimental. It's not an ideal situation, I'll grant you that, but that's about as far as it goes.

...yes? It's not polite or respectful to make it open and obvious that you don't like another person. There are plenty of people I don't like and who don't like me, but when we interact, we ignore each other when we can and we're polite when we don't. I also know why they don't like me and vice-versa, even if I think they're idiots or assholes for it and I'm sure they feel the same way.

If someone I got to know started making it very obvious that they didn't like me, for no clear reason I could see, that would definitely hurt my feelings. And to me, it was pretty obvious in his behavior at the beginning of the movie.

Which, from what we gathered in the movie, is pretty much what's been going on. He ignored her when he could and was polite when he couldn't.

Exactly. Everyone gets the sense that he doesn't much like her--she herself explains it as "you've never really warmed to me" but it seems like it's more a case of him not crossing over into warm and affectionate rather than being unpleasant.

Like when she comes to his house and says they want to be friends he says yes, yes, he does want to be friends. But then she's clearly expecting a hug or at least some kind of loosening of the tension and he doesn't give it to her. She still feels tenseness from it. That tension goes away (to be replaced by a different awkwardness) whens he sees the video.
