But now people are starting to think something is happening between us (which it isnt), or saying we're acting like a couple. However much we deny this people still say we're acting "unacceptable" for just friends, especially me. So i was wondering what you guys count as "acceptable" then. Proper hugs, kiss on the cheek or forhead, i put my arms round her when she's down, cuddle up, falling asleep on each other on coach/car journeys, have once fallen sleep together before but not normally. Your opinions on any of that would really help.Thanks! Reply to this Question

 you sound like you are just great mates to me and continue to act in just the same way that you always have!! your behaviour as you described doesnt lead me to belive you are taking it too far, you sound like you really care for this girl and want to protect her and be there for her, if only all us girls could have a friend like you!! if you two do develop to be more than friends then great, who cares what other people think! dont let peoples gossip or rumours ruin your friendship! i have an amazingly close relationship with one of my female friends and we have had loads of people spreading viscious rumours about us and our relationship saying that we are lesbians and spend too much time together! and do you know what i said to those people!? nothing!! because i couldnt care less what others think of me...i know how things are and so does my friend and we are the only people that matter in our friendship!! we are even closer know as this situation only strengthened our relationship! i hope this can happen to you too!!
take care!! xxxx

 my sister has the same problem with her best mate (who is a guy) and i have the same with mine. dont let people get you down by what theyr saying. what your doing is perfectly acceptable. and considering your best mates its natural to be like that. most people who spread rumours are normally jelous of someone. just think of how close you two are as friends and think who else has that kind of friendship.
