Oh...

I wish that people had a marquee on their forehead (shirt?) that broadcast their intentions.

• I want to just be your friend.
• I want to be more than your friend.
• I want you.
  
• I want to just be your friend.

I think this would solve some confusion (and many awkward situations) without ruining the story. Because what you intend is not often what you actually get.

• My intention is to kiss you.
  
• My intention is to get out of here as quickly as possible.
  
• My intention is to manipulate you into helping me do x, y, z.
• My intention is to have some fun.

I wish. And at the same time, I don't.
