Girls: I get hard sometimes when I cuddle with a female friend, but she doesn't pull away from me. Is this a sign she sees me as more than a friend?

Question

A female friend of mine sometimes cuddles with me when we're watching movies. Sometimes I get hard when we're cuddling (either randomly or because of her body) and I know she can feel it. The thing is, though, she doesn't pull away from me like I would expect. I got really embarrassed the first time it happened, but she never said a word about it.

I don't know how to interpret this. A male friend of mine told me it means she likes me, but another female friend told me that it doesn't necessarily mean anything.

Touch is my top love language, so I hug everyone. I have a lot of close guy friends and I cuddle with the single ones sometimes while watching movies. I am a woman, he's a man and spooning can lead to hard-ons. Of course I notice, but it doesn't really make me uncomfortable. It's natural. It happens. Moving because he got a temporary boner would just make it awkward. I wouldn't do anything but ignore it. If I'm interested in a guy and that happens, I'd prob move closer, press myself closer. But that's just me. Her not responding to you getting hard most likely means she doesn't mind. But I think if she were into it, she'd make some sort of a move, especially since its happened more than once

For me if I was cuddling and a guy got hard I'd stay there if I liked the guy I may even show a sign to mood forward. If I wasn't interested I don't think I'd be cuddling in the first place.

If you are spooning the girl would probably pull away if you didn't get hard. Some girls just like the confidence boost that they can turn a guy on by just laying with him.

It doesn't mean much that she deals with your boner, it means more that she cuddles at all.

Apologize to her about it the next time it happens and see what her reaction is. That should give you an indication of her feelings.

Hey there,
Unless she's the flirty type of girl who hugs everyone and seeks attention from guys, I'm pretty sure "cuddly female friend" may have a thing for you :)
The fact that she stayed there when you got hard, shows that it didn't bother her. Had she just hugged you for the sake of hugging someone, she definitely would've pulled away (from disgust or embarrassment).
Hope I helped :)

ManaX · Answer

She for whatever reason likes the attention and enjoys your company. On some level she's not repulsed by your sexuality bevsuse she likes to be close to you and dosent mind you when you're hard.

Even with all that it does not necessarily mean she wants to take it further. You could test the waters (which could ruin things) and try holding her waist or stroking her arm etc. (do things that would make you closer) Just see how she responds to all that.

It's so a far stretch to say she's didn't feel it/chose not to notice. But for me if I'm cuddling properly, I'm aware of it.

LuvsMusic13 · Answer

I wouldn't cuddle with a guy unless I was at least a little into him. so if u guys do that on a basis she probably likes u a lot and took your boner as a compliment. invite her over an cuddle again. if you get a boner don't react wait for her reaction. if she doesn't show one kissed her and move from there.

VioletBell · Answer

She might like you. I got this idea because since she had felt it and didn't pull away, she doesn't mind it and she likes you whilst trying to put on a straight face when you get hard so you don't feel anymore weird about it. Besides, your situation had happened with my friends friend and she likes him but she was tossing over whether to ask him about it or not..

SensualScribe · Answer

I think she likes you, but wants you to make the first move. Most girls do not want to make the first move. I would not cuddle with a guy unless I liked him. I would not kiss her just yet. Try running your fingers through her hair or perhaps take her hand and lightly caress it with your fingers. If she doesn't pull away after that, move in for the kiss, but do not go full make out mode unless she prompts you for more.

meggyhertz · Answer

if she keeps cuddling up to you knowing you've gotten excited in the past then she clearly doesn't mind. only way you'll know for sure is if you go in for a kiss or ask her out.

mmredfearn · Answer

Hahaha I cuddle platonically with my guy friends all the time. Does she lean more into you when she feels it? Or does she sorta stiffen?
This happened to me once and I was just too awkward to address it and stayed cuddling for the rest of the movie despite being sorta uncomfortable.

Regardless, she's clearly down to stay friends (or maybe more) if she keeps coming over to cuddle :)

spuitkaas · Answer

I cuddle thing my guy friends too or sit on their laps or something and they get a stiffy too sometimes, but I don't mind. I don't like them more than a friend and I'm sure they don't like me either as more than a friend. It just happends sometimes that guys get a stiffy and that's okay. I think your friend thinks the same about it. Otherwise, she doesn't feel it. It's not that easy to feel, even though guys always think that.

BuchitaBuchys · Answer

If she's cuddling to begin with, that sounds like she likes you. And she lets you get hard, yea. I think she might.

I would never cuddle with a friend. We'd have to be dating.
So I would say the fact that she lets you cuddle with her is a sign itself that she likes you.

foreverfree000 · Answer

i think that if it happen once a girl will ignore it.. but if it happened twice then the third time you will be watching movies she will not cuddle or at least feel awkward.. if she stays there and does nothing i guess there is a chance she likes you.. bc if she didn't want to embarrass you but didn't like it she would say nothing that day and next time "hold herself back" in a way.. not continue like nothing happened.. but this is just what i believe:)

ChaosKilledTheDinos · Answer

I personally would never cuddle with any of my guy friends unless I hoped it would go further. Hug them sure, but not cuddle. That's way too intimate.

asianchic · Answer

The fact that you're cuddling seems Like she likes you. I wouldn't cuddle with just a friend. she probably expects you to get hard and finds it flattering. I wouldn't be surprised if she likes you.

Katie1964 · Answer

I'd say she is probably liking you otherwise she probably would not be cuddling in the first place. She may like the fact she can turn you on and it makes her feel good to feel your erection that she created.

jworld · Answer

If u were cuddling in the first place, she sees you as more than a friend, if she doesn't pull away then she defiantly sees you as more than a friend.

ErikaAnnette · Answer

Personally, the first time that it happened, I wouldn't say anything about it because I wouldn't want to make a scene or embarrass you. However, I probably wouldn't cuddle with you again if that happened and I wasn't interested in you.
I'd say she's into you, but that's just my opinion. I don't think she'd keep cuddling if she noticed and minded it.

PixieDust · Answer

I'd like to be cuddling with my guy friend that i like whenever he comes around to watch movies with me. That never happen though :o/

schesser15 · Answer

I definitely think she has a thing for you: Y'all have to be more than "friends" if y'all are cuddling (I think thats so cute) but If she felt it she might have not wanted to make things awkward... If she liked it and noticed it i think she would have moved closer or made a flirty move, It might could even lead to a turn on.. so you never know it could go many ways. Hope that helped!

SilverBlood124 · Answer

In my opinion, if it has happened on more than one occasion, and she really did notice it, then she probably does have a thing for you. Because if she noticed it the first time and didn't like it, then she wouldn't have cuddled with you again. And you know, she's cuddling with you in the first place. I don't really know about other women, but I don't cuddle with anyone I don't want to be romantically involved with.

beerme01 · Answer

I think there's a good possibility she's attracted to you in some way. Next time it happens make a move and see

aamy811 · Answer

It doesn't necessarily mean anything. There's almost always a boner when we cuddle so it's just something we expect. It's nothing new or scary so we don't pull away. We just accept that it's there and don't make a big deal about it
