    Friend of mine has been with her boyfriend for a good few years but I've been noticing recently that she's been flirting with me quite a bit. She always has her hands on my knee when talking to me and doesn't seem to like it when I'm talking to other attractive girls, even though I'm only just talking to them.

    I get on well with her boyfriend and don't want to break up a relationship that's been going for so long. But I hang out with this girl a lot and I don't know what to do? Is she just getting a few kicks and reassuring herself that she's attractive or is she looking for something more from me?

    Avoid the situation like the plague. You can only lose in this situation. Unless she comes out and says something to you, just avoid the situation.

    spot on. I would also tell her to butt out when you are talking to other girls.

    Great attitude OP. +1

    It sounds like you are feeling a bit uncomfortable with the flirting. The 'hand on knee' thing got me in trouble before. A woman placing her hands on you is flirting make no mistake.

    As we know but what do you feel? are you only uncomfortable about this situation for getting well with her and her boyfriend or do you feel something different and deeper than friendship...?

    I dunno how I feel, usually if I meet a girl who has a boyfriend I don't think twice about it, they're just automatically off the market. But with the way she's been acting recently it's got me thinking differently. There's just been a few incidences where I've thought, that had to be more than innocent, you know? I'm very slow to react to things like this, I usually just brush it off as 'friendliness' and girls always being touchy feely in general.
