But yes, a few. Holy hell, some of them were crazies.
I frequently have a few friends who tell me, "Stop being so nice to people. People misunderstand." to which I respond, "I'm seriously supposed to be assholes to people?"
Response: "I dunno what you're supposed to do, but you're too nice to people."
Seriously?
But yes, I consider this person a friend. I often fight with this person.

You see, I've never gotten that. I've been really nice to people before... but I've never had someone openly misunderstand my intentions for affection. Maybe I'm just not good looking enough or I'm a bit on the scary side?
Soryon:
I wouldn't interpret it as affection, I would interpret it as someone who isn't very comfortable with their company.
In fact, I sometimes get uncomfortable myself when someone is being too nice in a social setting.

Ask him if he's jealous.

She?
I've asked before. Calmly, she stated, "No, just normal concern for a friend." Even in a drunken craze she doesn't stray from that. In deep discussions (non-drunk ones), she says that though I'm "weird" because of the things I do, and "immature", I am reliable. It's sort of those sibling ones. Total care for each other, but totally platonic. Willing to fight to the death to protect each other, but willing to fight each other to death as well.
Now, for the other person that ACTUALLY misunderstood (as far as I know anyways), she tried to control me and change me. I refused, resisted and it turned into all out war. (Literally). Like hardcore all out arguments in front of friends etc. Totally tore that group of friends in half. I'm ok and chill with her now. Don't really chat or hang out, but we made up our differences and apologized to each other. But yeah, the attempts to control me... that was screwed up beyond reason.
Asia. Communication issues with a group of people at a conference. So I attempted to speak in Mandarin to some girl. Oh man, the others began making jokes like "Oh, you're pulling out all the secret weapons to hit on girls now?" They said it semi jokingly and semi serious. But arranged marriage jokes afterwards were a bit much though.
Friend. Let's call her (M). In 2 totally unrelated cases, we have been mistaken for a couple. Let me explain before you begin to go "pfft".
Situation 1: Tijuana, Mexico. We went to a outdoor market place called, de la Rosa or something. A guy calls me over and attempts to sell me a sombrero for $44 USD. I state I only have $20 (which is literally true). He haggles the price HIMSELF one dollar at a time. At $21 I ask whether $20 is ok. We literally argue for about 5 minutes with him refusing $20 the whole time. M is standing with me the whole time this is going on. The end? "Ask your wife for a dollar." (reply: She's not my wife) "Girlfriend?" (Reply: No) "Doesn't matter, you'll likely be married anyways".
*Friend gave me a dollar and I ended up buying the Sombrero, which was a nice hand made felt one with decor*
Situation 2: Calgary, Canada. We went to pick up a few things for a party. Just drinks and food and other things. Ok, maybe it wasn't a few. According to M. (I didn't hear this first hand, only from her) "How many bags do you need?" (Reply: I don't know), "How many do you think you need?" (Reply: "I'm not sure"), "Why don't you ask your husband? Maybe he will know."
*I was merely putting groceries on the belt the whole time*
If you go shopping with the opposite gender, you're likely a couple of sorts.
