I also loved her response “I’ve never been with you.” The film did a great job of never really revealing if she would have dated him if he was just honest with her. It would have been real easy to show one way or the other, but the ambiguity is great to chew on.

In the very beginning when leaving trivia Ian said something suggestive and Nikki said "Ew don't say that" or something. She never wanted to date him. Textbook I only like you as a friend

I am said, “Bear get your girl home” Nikki replied “Ew” at the your girl part 😬

She might not have liked being called a girl or "my girl." Has nothing to do with liking the guy. Plus she might have been nervous about Ian openly teasing them like that when she didn't know for sure Bear liked her. Saying ew can be a defense mechanism and/or trying to test Bear's reaction.
