It depends on how long and how well she's known the male friend and the child. She's probably known her male friend well enough to know that his behavior is in good spirit and play, and she does kind of like him enough to let him come over and eat half of the food they have.
True, though I would still agree with the conclusion that Alex is being naive, not recognizing how Ben's innocent playfulness has changed to satisfy (at least somewhat) selfish typical teenage hormones.
The male "friend" had good intentions I believe, but it still doesn't deny the fact that filming someone while they're sleeping is creepy. Also, he's even more of a creep for breaking into her house late at night just to scare her while she's vulnerable in bed.
In addition to those, Ben tries to be smooth after the party (at the beginning of the movie) by asking, "Do you want to come sit closer?" with the claimed reason being "I just hate yelling." Next, both go to the treehouse, where they first encounter Robbie, which leads to Alex walking him home and Ben complaining sarcastically, "Thanks for cockblocking me."
Anywho... Is it creepier for some child about half your age, you barely know to cuddle with you while sleeping or a close/longtime friend to be misleading and fraudulent about having a strong attraction to you?
Probably the former. However, the latter, once realized, would be more hurtful, I assume, that is, unless you were doing the same.
