Yeah I love the way she is portrayed, it's unique. So often in media these seemingly immortal beings behave like regular people, Frieren's seemingly cold demeanor is just a consequence of her being so long lived, it is definitely a very refreshing take on such a character.
Also I think maybe just the way elves are. She says they lack romantic feelings, so that may also reach out to other social interactions. Humans to them might be unpredictable tides that carry them along, even if by way of potato-sacking lol.
I think it's less that they don't have romantic feelings and more they just take it really slow, like 100 year long courtship slow. They clearly are capable of feeling strong, complex emotions considering how she broke down and cried at Himmel's service.
