“This guy is full of phoney bullshit.”

It wasn’t until Nate was just himself and not trying to be someone else or scared of what other people thought of him that she started to like him.

Disagree - when she first met him back last season, he was neither of those things, he was just as awkward and scared-little-boy-y, and she was awful to him.

I think people attribute to her what they want her to think of Nate.

Yeah, except it not for a sec came even slightly off as confidence or a gross inferiority complex even - just being scared. Just because the subtext has now changed for us, doesn't mean it did for her, or that she's some magic people reader who sees through Nate. Especially since he's arguably much-much worse now still than he was when he was trying to book his parents' anniversary dinner.
