I go out frequently with one girl in particular and we have a platonic friendship?

We buy each other presents, spend lots of evenings together and get on really well as friends. We have both agreed that at this point in time that a relationship is not a possibility - for various reasons. Why does everyone therefore presume we are an item? I am getting fed up with being asked what is happening between us, and am sure she is getting the same thing happen to her. How can we make it clear that we are good friends some that we can enjoy our friendship without external pressures...?

    You really can't. Not everyone appreciates a platonic relationship; it's sort of boring to hear about, and most see it as a bridge towards a more serious relationship. People would rather like to see a couple than just two people enjoying each other's company.
