I suppose "dress" could be taken in a different sense, as in "clothing" and not a girl's dress. I'll still think of it being about a girl, when I listen to the song. I once knew a girl that kind of acted like that around me. Never turned me away or told me she didn't want me. But also never went through any trouble to see me or be with me, never asked me to do anything. I think its a beautiful song. Sad, but OK -- not depressed. And that's how life is sometimes.
