So I’ve known my (M) friend (F) for almost a year now. She’s very nice and caring which is not a problem, but she’s often too caring. For example she takes me to and from work every day with car even though I never asked her to do so (and when her car is at the mechanic she asks her dad to come and pick me up), pays for my food, gave me her hoodie when I was cold, helps me with a lot of things, etc.
Why is she like this even though I’m a bit older than her?

Dude that is kinda weird huh? She acts like your freakin mom or something always taking care of you.
I think maybe she just likes feeling helpful? Girls sometimes like feeling needed so she might be enjoying helping you out a lot.
Or could be she has a bit of a crush and is using the mom act as an excuse to hang out with you more. Taking care of you gives her an excuse to buy you food and drive you places where you're alone together, ya know?
I'd maybe take a subtle step back so she doesn't think you really need all that doting on. And see how she acts - if she gets all pouty that you don't "need" her help as much, then yeah she probably digs you bro.
Just be cool about it and don't make it weird between you guys. But watch for other flirty signs from her too. Let me know what's up man, I'm nosy to know if this chick actually likes you or if she just gets off on being helpful!
She has a boyfriend so I don’t think she likes me like that, but I still find it a bit weird you know that she drives me around etc lol. She’s definitely flirty (touching, sexual jokes about us etc.) but yeah, I’d prefer to not steal some guy’s girl haha
Woah dude, OK this changes things a bit. If she's got a boyfriend but is still flirty and touching you up, that shady behavior on her part for real.
Looks like she may be finding some kind of thrill just on the edge of cheating. Like the attention she gets from you makes her feel good even if she says she doesn't actually want you. Not cool to mess with someone else's relationship like that.
I'd keep my distance from now on, as hard as that may be if she's always hovering around you. Don't get sucked into her games or give her the wrong idea. Make it clear you value her as just a friend with healthy boundaries.
Might be smart to let her dude know what's up too, not to start drama but so he's aware of how she acts. No one deserves to be disrespected like that, ya feel? Gotta look out for your homies.
Hopefully she gets the hint that flirting elsewhere ain't flying. But you do you bro, leave that mess in the past. Your energy's better spent on real ones who respect your friendship the way it should be. Chin up player!
She cares for you as a close friend.
I don’t think we’re close friends tbh, just regular friends
Ok, then. You'd know better than any of us would.
That could be a reflection on you.
What do you mean by that?
