Unsure of Friend Intentions

[MK2020]

I am highly confused with my same sex friends behavior (I have known her for about 3.5 yrs). She is 36 year old single female. The last time she was in a relationship was 8 years ago. He last relationship lasted 1.5 years. She told me in the past that she hates having sex with men, has no desire for sex at all, that she hated even to be touched by men, and that she even wondered if she could be a lesbian or that maybe some kind of abuse happened to her as a kid that she does not remember.

 

Anyway she texts me all time time about random stuff. She tells me constantly that she misses me. She keeps saying her sister adores me ( I met her sister only once for about 30 min). She keeps saying how she talks to her friends and colleagues about me and how they all want to meet me. She thinks I am the funniest person. She invites me to all of her trips ( we live in different states). When we are together she gives me hugs and rubs my back. She loves to rest her head on my shoulder at games or whenever we sit next to each other. She gets super jealous to the point of crying (but tries to hide it) when I pay more attention to our other friend(nothing special going on with me and that other friend I actually find her extremely boring). She sends me her moms cookies for Christmas.anyway recently she went on two dates with men but nothing turned out to be serious.

 

Anyway... is she into me romantically? Or is she just a possessive friend? Am I leading her on? I need some unbiased opinion.

It sounds like she could be into you romantically. Only you know whether you are leading her on or not. Are you interested in her romantically? If not, it might be an idea to make it clear to her that you are only interested in men in that way.

Are you interested in her?

 

She is displaying signs of affection beyond a friendship. If you do not want this attention and physical touch, tell her clearly and directly.

 

Have a beautiful day my friend.
