Thank you for your input. It was helpful to have a bit of advice.

I'm not sure what exactly she's looking for honestly. I am wondering if she is just attempting to seek out the physical intimacy that she is unable to get from her boyfriend. She has identified touch as her top "love language". So I guess I'm trying to figure out if her touchiness is a product of her care or if she is actually seeking more.

Is this just how she expresses love and nothing beyond that? I don't think she wants a sexual relationship, neither do I. But it also feels like it's gone beyond just friendship at this point.

I care a lot about her and I just don't want to read into something too far or have a misconception about her intentions. But I haven't ever experienced such closeness in a friendship like this before, so I'm just trying to figure it out.
