This troper and a friend were thought to be in a relationship for some reason. Every time we walked somewhere we would hold hands to fuel the fire. I don't know why someone didn't point out that a Senior and Junior in high school should be kissing if they had really been in a dating relationship as long as we were supposed to have been.

This troper has a crush on one of his classmates, and frequently hangs out with her, studying and doing homework together. This has led some friends to suspect that he has feelings for her, with one telling him that it's quite obvious. At the very least, they acknowledge that it's not a relationship [[strike:(yet)]], keeping this tease out of SheIsNotMyGirlfriend territory.

Lesbian parties in college are LOADED with this. It's perfectly okay to dance with/dry hump/make out with other girls since practically everyone in a room IS a drunk lesbian or bi girl (with a few straights and gay guys thrown in) but sometimes you get the feeling there is more going on then just wanting to have a good time. Several times there have been instances where someone was expressing interest in legitimately dating another girl under the guise of it looking like a random party fling.

The entire school seems to think that my (male) best friend and I are going out. Sometimes it's really quite fun to play with their minds, such as going to prom together and then not dancing, or calling him "hon" every now and then and pretending it just "slipped out"...yes, I'm evil.

This troper does this all the time. To the girl people keep saying he's perfect for, and the guy he's noticed more than some subtext towards. He also does this on a message board with the other members (we joke about pairings of other members in standard shipping "Person X Person" format). In reality? He's either Asexual or Straight, with feelings for none of these people.

Doesn't that kind of make you a slut...? (No offense intended.)

No it makes him a tease

More of a JerkAss.

This troper and one of her best friends (who is ''asexual''), are constantly saying things like "when am I going to get those sexual favors you owe me?" and "Wasn't last night amazing??". We confuse the shit out of people.

One of this troper's high school friends (well, sort of) loved this trope, making a point of pulling her aside for "private conversations" and softening insulting statements with an "I love you, but..." or "You look very good today." Hilarious in restrospect, but a little cloying when people just wouldn't stop asking.

This troper's younger brother has tons of platonic female friends, most people in the high school think he will hook up with one of them, our parents think it's another, people at camp think some one else entirely. He does very little to discourage any of these ships, and likes cuddling with all of his platonic friends. This troper just giggles on the sidelines.

At the year-end party of this troper's class, one of the co-advisers began giving out Loveteam of the Year Awards. A couple consisting of myself and a guy who had a crush on me was among the nominees, and when we lost, I considered jokingly telling him, "Sorry honey, we didn't win." Plus a few more other ShipTease situations my classmates immediately squeal over.

This troper has a guy friend and a lady friend who a lot of people think should date. They hug, physically fight, and argue all the time but have no intention on dating each other. But all this only added to the fact that many believe that they should start going out. This has just happened recently with myself and one of said guy friend's band mates. I made friends with the band mate quickly after he made me a "roadie". He's a very affectionate guy who likes to cuddle with all girls he's friends with. Like at a volleyball game he wrapped his arms around me, rocked me a bit, and rested his head on mine. That doesn't stop people from thinking that we should date even though we've only known each other for about a week.

This troper has a friend who when we first started talking, all her friends thought we were dating and gave her grief about finally having a boyfriend. Our friends and family often wondered why we aren't dating and more than one person has thought that we were. The two of us have admitted that it might happen and do a great deal to avoid the situation. Let's just say several rules have had to be put in place.

This situation is becoming increasingly funny in this troper's life. A guy and a girl he knows are extremely close friends, the guy's parents like the girl enough to let her live with them and they still aren't going out. The ShipTease is so great that it's beginning to cause some ShipperOnDeck action.

This troper does this all the time with her (gay) best friend. We've got the whole LikeAnOldMarriedCouple vibe going on, (and always have, prompting a lot of ShipperOnDeck action from our friends back in high school) and we totally use it for our own amusement. For April Fools Day, we got a reservation at the most swankified restaurant in town, and he proposed using one of my rings. When I accepted, the staff gave us a complimentary bottle of champagne. He and I just got back from a vacation in Germany, during which we pretended to be a married couple and, just to keep things interesting, kept insulting each other. He would say "Ich leibe dich", to which I would repond "Fick dich!" I would call him a "singe castré" and he would call me "déesse étonnant", and so on with Spanish, Italian, and Japanese. Suffice to say that the whole vacation could have been titled the ShipTease / FunWithForeignLanguages World Tour.

This troper delivers a whole lot of ship tease with an internet friend. Tough they are firmly settled in the pale quadrant, they tend to act rather... familiar, including lots of cuddling. (Same went for the RealLife meeting.) No wonder they get shipped by everyone, even after they launched a whole bunch of torpedoes.

This troper, who has a solid bromance with an equally skinny and androgynous friend, gets shipped by other friends with him. He and his friend do like to shiptease these girls by acting affectionate. Seriously ramps up the Ho Yay at the same time.

This troper and a male friend of hers are basically walking ship tease. We spend several hours walking around by ourselves over the weekend, I'm basically a well-done version of the Manic Pixie Dream Girl to him, together we're Savvy Guy Energetic Girl, we're very physically affectionate (I love glomping people), we tend to hold hands, because mine are so warm, I'm basically a walking space heater, everyone who sees us thinks we're dating and doing a bit more than that, and now it seems like God himself wants the two of us to get together.

This Troper is in a WillTheyOrWontThey kind of relationship with a girl and has so many of these moment that it has moved into EveryoneCanSeeIt territory it doesn't help this troper that she is quite conflicted in the way of showing how she feels.

This troper and the guy she likes are very subject to this. We've been asked multiple times if we're dating, and when we say no, they always say that we should be.

Just recently, this troper realized that she and her male friend had this all over the place. She's tried to tone it down a few notches by being less affectionate and by not constantly sticking to his side, but that hasn't stopped anyone.
