I can't keep my hands off my friend (not necessarily nsfw YET)
Hello everyone!! Rant post- So two weeks ago I made a post on the world-revolutionary event of my friend sending me a pic of her abs. Amazing, and we keep referencing it like it's our inside joke when we're around our other friends. Ever since then we have been getting closer and closer, texting more frequently, texting each other "When's our next hangout?" right after we get home from hanging out with each other all day.. and now I'm struggling to fight the urge to put my hands all over her. First it started with accidently touching hands while walking around a park, then it was putting paint on each other whenever we'd paint together and it'd get on our hands, and now... I can't stop doing little things like poking her side, gently kicking her foot, or having our knees stay touching while sitting next to each other. I'm extremely open about this urge too, saying "Ah I can't hang around you because I can't keep my hands off of you" (all jokingly and whatnot.)
Another panic-inducer is that she responds so positively towards it and is reciprocating it, and it's making me obsessed. Every time I poke her side, she jumps, laughs, and is like, "I literally can't control it!!" She's started jabbing me on the side or neck, or gripping my wrist tightly whenever I "threaten" to paint her... and I love it.. I can't help but think of various scenarios where she's gripping my wrists that tightly or where she's involuntarily jumping because of other forms of stimulation IYKWIMMM.
No, I haven't told her I liked her yet, but it's so painfully obvious to me and to others around me. I plan on telling her soon, I just need to figure out how to... (I have some ideas already) I think my only concern about this is my tendency to get deeply obsessed easily, though now that I'm conscious of it, I'm trying to work on it.
