What does it mean if a girl wraps her arm in my arm while walking side by side?

[blackjack]

This is my normal friend but when she did this I suspect that she may be flirting with me. Should I specifically tell her that I have a girlfriend?

When a girl wraps her arm in yours while walking side by side, it typically indicates a sense of comfort, trust, and closeness. Such a gesture can be seen as a non-verbal expression of affection, indicating that she feels safe and connected to you. This can be a sign of platonic affection among close friends, or it might suggest romantic interest if other contextual clues support that interpretation. Additionally, the gesture can provide a sense of physical warmth and security, especially in colder conditions or unfamiliar environments. However, as with all body language, interpretation should be considered within the broader context of the relationship and the situation. Cultural norms, personal boundaries, and individual personalities play significant roles in how physical gestures are interpreted. Thus, while this act generally denotes positive feelings, it's always a good idea to communicate openly and ensure mutual comfort in any relationship or interaction.

Uh yeah to telling her that you have a girlfriend. If this girl is a friend of yours how does she not know that you have a girlfriend to start with? That seems really odd. Every single one of my friends knows exactly who I am dating. As for what she did... she was probably just in a good mood or happy and got a little handsie with you. I wouldn't read too much into it unless she was giving other signs of flirting or whatever. Then I would put a stop to it immediately. As I asked before how does she not know you have a girlfriend if she is your friend?

For me, it means I like the person. But everyone is different. So ask her.

it is a coomon form of showing comfortability and attraction. as another said, how is sge your friend and does not already know you have a girlfriend? even so, you should definitely tell her you have a girlfriend. makes me question your morals that you felt the need to ask added with her somehow not already knowing.

She is showing effection. But not like you think.

But If you haven't told her you have a girlfriend, you may have been putting off signals that you may not have been awhere of. Then she's feeding off of them.

Need to tell her so you won't hurt her with the misunderstanding or cheat on girlfriend.

I mean its a very close person that is allowed to tangle arms with you. And since you have a girlfriend you shouldn't let her tangle you. And she should ALREADY know you have a girlfriend... Its not a secret. What if she DOES like you. Its not good or nice to her to hide that fact

[LiamJHayden]

I personally would read nothing into it. My female friends will do that if there is a crowd or they are getting unwanted attention or to stay warm if there is a chill in the air.
