Having close friends in a relationship is not queerbaiting. If you constantly put little teases about how mayyyyybe the might possibly get together, and who knows maybe they're gay but maybe their not!, and keep teasing about the queerness of it all while always setting them up with het love interests....that would be queerbaiting. Having two people of the same gender have a close relationship is not queerbaiting.

+1

Queerbating is a situation where, for me, intent really does matter. If someone else ships your characters and then gets pissy that you didn't put them together, that's their problem. (Obviously, the issue is judging intent and whether we believe what creators say about their intent, but not everything that looks "slashy" is intentional, malicious queerbaiting for the lols.)

Yeah for sure. I can spot queerbaiting in fiction from a mile off. If the author is worried, chances are they aren't gonna queerbait.
