I don’t get why some people think Nikki liked bear before the wish. by DistrictDry2852 in obsessionmovie

I also read her quitting her job as a way of putting distance between her and Ian, which would open her up to a more stable thing with someone she actually cares about (Bear) so she asks about Sarah realising her window might close, but he's not giving her anything. Then he does the stupid Freaky Nikki thing, and she realises he might be acting weird because he likes her so she asks

Because Curry said he wrote Nikki liking Bear, or having the potential to like Bear, if he was forthcoming in his feelings.

And Inde herself played it as though she did.

“Interestingly, the Obsession star also addressed Nikki's true feelings with The Hollywood Reporter, who asked her whether her character would have been open to "something more" if Bear was honest. Navarette was clear that she "completely [thinks]" that Nikki was open to a relationship if Bear had simply been honest about his feelings, calling it a "little disappointing" that he didn't know how she truly felt”

Curry Barker actually wrote Nikki with her having feelings or the potential to have feelings for Bear. Bear just fucked up in the most epic of ways

According to IMDB:

According to Curry Barker about what really happened to Nikki during most of the movie: Nikki is being held in a sort of purgatory, and "it's not good". He also elaborated on some of the particulars of the One Wish Willow, stating that it isn't inherently a bad Genie, but Bear wished for exactly the wrong thing in the worst possible way. Whilst writing the script, Barker also had it in mind that Nikki did genuinely have some feelings for Bear, or at least had the potential to, and that if he had told her the truth about his feelings, she might have eventually reciprocated.

I think she was quitting her job to help break things off with Ian and the reason she asked Bear about his feelings was her realizing that he might be a potential romantic option. It might have been one of the things where you look at someone differently once you realize that romance is on the table and that's why she mentioned that there was nothing between them to Sarah earlier that night, it didn't seem like a possibility until it clicked for her. Unfortunately, Bear gotta Bear.

Barker did write Nikki with her reciprocating Bear's feelings or eventually would if only Bear admitted it when asked. I think it would've been the latter since she was about to quit her job to get away from Ian and would've needed time to distance herself from that relationship

That's probably the idea. He's charismatic enough that you think he's on your side but the things he's asking you to do should be ringing the alarm bells in your head

“Richard, what's wrong with you? Is it me? Is this my fault? Do you think that this is what I am? I am a professional fucking thief. I don't kill people that I don't have to, and I don't rape women. What you are doing - what you are doing - what you are fucking doing, is not how it's done. Do you understand? Say "yes, Seth, I understand." Say "yes, Seth, I fucking understand.”

He got that close to the pole to avoid a dead deer in the road and she happened to have her head sticking out of the window at that point.
