Do girls ever walk arm in arm with their guy friends?

[Anonymous]

A girl I'm friends with has started to grab my arm and walk arm in arm with me as we walk around places. She also has become a bit more touchy like holding on to me and hugging me in certain situations. Do girls do this with guy friends or does it mean something more. I know all girls are different so some girls may just do this out of comfort.

With certain friends, I do this. But very rarely.

I'm a very physically affectionate person, so I enjoy showing that to friends who share that like. But most don't, or reserve it for only certain people like myself. So I have to respect that.

So what do you think it means? She never did this before. She's only started doing it now. Not sure if she's doing it because she's become really comfortable with me (bad news!) or because there's interest there.

Why don't you ask?

When I do it with my friends, I've learned to be very clear and communicative. I don't do it with friends I don't think would be able to tell between a platonic friend or a romantic attraction.

But that's a lesson I learned and a practice I built over time. Your friend may not have thought of that yet.

Asking her if she's interested in you and shooting your shot is the only way you'll know for sure.

Just remember that it's possible for you two to retain a strong platonic friendship if she turns out not to be romantically interested. But only if you respect each other and your boundaries.

I don't. I'll hug you, but no holding arms or hands.

[Ms_Facesitter]

I've only done it to fend of people hitting on me.

So if she's doing that what should I expect/think it to mean?

[Ms_Facesitter]

Some people are just very touchy like that, but I do that if I like to. I don't know if this goes for her as well. It's a possibility.
