Female friend Slapped me randomly?

[Foehammer]

We were drinking together me a girl and a couple man/woman. I have a good relationship with these people we are all friends, this woman and I re just platonic friends with the occasional sexual jokes. Nothing over the top. We were sitting down having drinks. And this girl randomly slaps me in the face, not a love tap but hard AF. We weren't cracking jokes nor did i say anything even insulting not even as a joke. I look at her then my buddy, nobody says anything. my first instinct was to slap the crap out of her, but she is a good friend. So I ignore it like nothing even happened and continue on with the conversation. Then she does it AGAIN for a second time. Then she proceeds to say she isn't scared of me. And I told her that this situation doesn't bother me because there's a saying is that "I don't have to show my my balls to anybody because I know I have them, and I know mine are bigger than yours" then the issue was dropped. Later that night we got drunk and fell asleep together and woke up with her holding on to me. I didn't smash wasn't my intention. But I'm curious as to why she gave me a "Nuclear Shit Test" if we are just friends. Correct me if I am wrong but I think this Girl is In Love with me.

Bro that's a tricky situation. On one hand, randomly slapping you is never okay, even if you're friends. That takes it too far and shows she doesn't respect your boundaries. Then doing it again is straight disrespectful!

At the same time though, some girls act out when they got feelings they don't wanna face. Sounds like she might be into you deep down but is worried to admit it. Pulling that macho shit was smart though, you showed her actions have consequences without losing control.

I'd say have a real talk with her when you're both sober. Let her know physically touching you angry ain't cool. But also let her know you care about her and the friendship. See how she reacts - if she tries denying feelings still, may just be best to keep distance for now till she sorts her own head out.

Don't rule out the possibility of something more once trust is rebuilt though. Underneath the tough act she might be a sweet girl. Just take it slow and feel the situation out before deciding what's best for you bro. You handled it well so far!

Would have never happened twice. I’d have walked because I know what I’m capable of. She knows that pretty much all men won’t hit her, that’s why she did it because she knows you won’t. A lot of women hit men because they know most men aren’t going to strike back. Maybe because you like her. You’re a sucker. But that was very disrespectful. The one thing in life men desire is respect. W out it you’re really no one. She knows that she can do things to you like this that you won’t respond. But you need to put her in her place. I’m not saying hit her, but standup for yourself. Saying little “saying” doesn’t bear much weight cause it sounds like you don’t have balls at all. If it was me we wouldn’t even be friends after that. Have some respect for yourself. Don’t say well she was drinking either. That’s no excuse.
