It could be anything. For my examples below, I was the "dorm nice guy" who never made a pass, never ogled, etc. So the young ladies told me EVERYTHING - I heard every bit of girl talk that would make most guys sick.

For instance, she has had terrible luck with guys. That would be a huge incentive for her to hang around with him and make him happy because she has no proof that a good guy who could be fun as well wants to be with her. But she might be aware that she deserves better. So it could be her saying, "is this the best I can do?"

If she was manipulated into sexual relations by flattery or some other preying on her weaknesses, she will feel some kind of stress when around the person. She knows deep down that the guy is not nice and not to be trusted.

If you take how she looks around Nathan below or when she is out with Miranda as your baseline, then a few things become fairly obvious. For instance, she has looked pretty much the same around Madisen, so I take her friendship with her as genuine; whatever other issues they have, they have dealt with them and, even if it is not ideal, she accepts it and is happy for them. They lean in together in virtually every picture.

On the other hand, she always has this kind of impassiveness or slightly askew look when she is with Paul Glaser - like she is hiding some kind of discomfiture. Virtually all her pictures with Ariana have her either standing straight or leaning away from her. (I did notice she looks better with Elizabeth Gillies and Matt Bennett; in fact, in every picture from TKTJ, she's happier with everyone who wasn't Ariana.  It's impossible to miss.)  She and Miranda don't look quite right in their pictures with Dan Schneider after the 4th season of iCarly - in particular, if he hugs them, they stand as straight as they can; early on they allowed themselves to be pulled in more.
