Search Results: when girls blush

For context, we've known each other since we were like 10. We're both 19 now.

I'm a bit of a shy nerd, and she's a very athletic, outgoing girl. Though we never exactly had a bunch in women interest wise, we're both very open about each other's hobbies, and we're both quite sweet and kind to one another, though we're not afraid to tease or engage in banter.

Recently though, she began to be quite touchy feely with me. It all started with her saying, "Hey, you're one of my best friends I've ever had, and we've known each other since we were kids, do you mind if I hug and peck you on the cheek from now on?" And I thought it was a bit weird, but I didn't deny it.

When seated next to each other, she also tries to deliberately get super close to me. Sometimes so close to the point to where our cheeks are touching. And she comments on how soft my skin is, and I say hers is even softer, and though I see no visible blushing, her skin feels quite warm.

She even does this at the beach... I don't know if it's any different, but we're both almost naked, her in a small bikini, me in swimming trunks so short they're almost a speedo, and she gets super close to me.

I don't know if she likes me but is too shy to say it and is hoping I'll ask her out, or if she's just a nice, touchy feely girl in general, or if we're already dating but I'm too oblivious to notice, but... something must be going on, lol. I don't know.
