writes:I really need some sensible answers from the ladies out there as I have to be very careful how I handle this if I may be reading things correctly.My best friend is female, two years younger than me. I have always had close female friends since school, everyone knows this, including previous girlfriends. We've known each other for 3 years and became very good friends very quickly as we like a lot of the same things, same sense of humour and just generally really enjoy each other's company and we've always been there for each other.However, two of my other female friends think my best friends' feelings for me are changing and developing into something more although she hasn't actually said so and they are basing this on her behaviour of late.We would always have a hug and a peck on the cheek when we say goodbye and we have always emailed or texted each other several times a day - often just being silly about things that have happened to us at work or whatever. But of late, she's been a bit more 'territorial' about me to these other friends. She didn't like it when someone was asking another friend about me and has taken to hugging me in front of this other friend almost 'in your face'. Also, she has become more 'touchy feely' - walking together arm in arm, arms round my waist, snuggled up very close to me on the sofa with head on my shoulder.I should say that while we may have done these things in the past when one of us was upset over something, she now seems to be doing this just when we're having a nice time listening to music. She's always put kisses on texts and things and occasionally told me she loves me and I mean the world to her, but some of the texts lately have just seemed closer.Could it just be our friendship is merely deepening or becoming more comfortable or are these signs that she'd like something more? I ask because I don't want to put my foot in it and make her uncomfortable about this if I am misreading things. It could really mess up what is a wonderful friendship.
