Being close friends, being affectionate, having lots of lunches and dinners, fighting, and then making up is pretty much the definition of friendship. That sounds incredibly normal. It does not suggest that she has romantic feelings for you. It seems you still have those feelings for her, though, and are looking for signs that her feelings have changed. Unless she tells you otherwise, I would assume she is still not interested.
In friendships, due to cultural norms, men may be less likely to be physically affectionate or talk about deep feelings. But this is very typical for women. I cuddle, hug, hold hands, and have 4 hour long phone conversations with my friends. We have had pretty big fights, but always seem to resolve them. It’s becsuse the friendship bond is strong. That is pretty much the definition of close friendship. I really would not read this woman’s actions as anything outside the norm for how women behave in friendships.
