Well, let's face it--as long as there are "guys and girls," when people see them "together," they're gonna think that there's some hanky-panky going on. First, ask yourself--why do you care what they think? If you and your girl "friend" are fine with being friends, it doesn't matter that folks link you romantically. Friends can be very intimate, verbally and physically, so yeah, people might get the wrong idea. It's as natural as anything else, logically. However, if the indifferent approach doesn't work, then ask yourself this--do you have "secret" feelings about her, or does she have them about you? If it truly bothers you, for other reasons than "other people's opinions," then you might be doing your friendship a great service by checking in with your gal-pal. Maybe one or both of your feelings have changed? Perhaps it's a good idea to check in, just in case. Otherwise, if you and your friend are happy, who cares what others think? Life's too short to let other folks' judgments ruin an excellent relationship.

Because people make assumptions. Answer me this; Why does a girl hang out with a boy and everyone assume that they are going out?
