Why does she lean against me while laughing?

[Creativedge]

I'm a guy, my close girl friend does this thing where if she's laughing she will sometimes lean on me with both hands and bury her face against my arm like she trying to hide her face. I have no issue with it, it actually makes me laugh when she does it. I'm just wondering have you ever done this or know someone who does this and why?

She feels comfortable enough to be that close to you. A lot of females do. My female friends do it to me all the time. So we often do that to each other. remember the word : Close. She is your close friend after all, so why not. If she wasn't close to you she wouldn't even dream of doing that, unless she doesn't care or likely likes you as a potential boyfriend. Other than that, she's just comfortable.

I've never personally done that because I'm pretty shy and insecure so I don't show it much even if I do like someone. But that sounds so cute and I can imagine doing that with a guy I liked if I knew him well enough! It seems like she's comfortable with you and it's possible that she might like you as more than a friend also. ;) Hope I helped! :)

I have done it with my guy friend. Pretty sure she likes you.

Next time, smile at her when she does it. She'll begin to associate "laughing/happy" with touching/being near you.

- - - If you like her, encourage it and let it slide. If not, should probably figure out a way to tell her.

Leaning against you means there is a very good comfort level and closeness with you and it's also possible she has an interest in you.

Seems too touchy for a friend, unless she does it with everyone.

Yeah I do it all the time with my male and female friends, and I know a lot of people that does that too
