She grabbed my arm in a dark room—was she scared or into me?

[Anonymous]

During a trip, a girl and her friend actively chose to separate from a crowd of 60 students just to walk with me. While exploring an abandoned building, we went into a dark room. She got spooked and instantly grabbed my arm tightly for protection, ignoring everyone else, including her best friend.
Girls, would you do this to a guy you don't like, or is she interested in me?

So was there like zero sort of friendship before? You don’t talk in class, sit near each other, basically strangers?

We had hardly ever spoken, and we weren't friends at school.

Okay, just trying to get an idea of the connection, because I’ve been in a situation or two where I’ve grabbed a guys arm, but given the context and setting, it was just a friendly thing. In your case, if you hardly know this girl then sure, I could see how that may come off as a bit more than friendly. But since we can’t tell you how someone else is feeling, it’s best to act off of how you know you feel, since that’s the only thing you can be 100% sure of. If you like her, or have developed feelings, then rather than waiting on signs from her, you should go ahead and make a move. Then at least you’d know for sure where she stands vs trying to guess.

Sure, I understand your point. That same day, two other guys joined us, and when we were about to go into another segment, their friend said something to me, or to me and one of the guys. She said one of these two things: "Hey, stay out here with my friend (the girl who hugged my arm)" or "Guy 1 (me) and Guy 2 (the other guy), stay with my friend." I don't remember that detail, but I don't know if this context would be useful to someone else.

Hmm, so are you thinking maybe she stayed with you because the friend asked?

[Asker]

I don't remember if her friend asked me and the other boy, or just me, to stay with the "scared" girl. What I do remember is that I said I wouldn't accept and that I wanted to continue the tour with them, since I was interested in seeing the place on the day of that excursion, and since I was very young at the time, I didn't really understand the interactions between teenagers.

[HollyK21]

That’s fair. To be honest, the more details you share, the more it can come off as maybe more reactive? Mainly because she’s referred to as the scared girl, and if her friend was asking you guys to stay with her, I’m guessing it was pretty bad. So her hanging onto you in a dark scene, as an already frightened girl, when she grabbed your arm it could’ve just been a heat of the moment thing. Initially, after you confirmed that you didn’t really know her, without this context I was like okay, she’s hanging around you on purpose, hanging onto you, it could be a deeper interest. But now, I’m really just feeling like she was shaken up and grabbed your arm. Not trying to take away from the moment, and of course I could be wrong. It’s just an outside analysis.

How long ago did this happen? Is there still a way for you to make contact with her like at school? I’m not sure if this is even a classmate, or what the setting was when this happened. Like were you part of her student group?
