People Share Times They Were Accidentally Turned On By A Platonic Friend
When you spend enough time hanging out with someone, there's bound to be a moment or two where you feel a little sexual tension, no matter how platonic you are with the other person. Sometimes it happens for just a brief moment, and sometimes it stirs up feelings.
These people shared moments where they were accidentally turned on by a friend.
Sometimes It's Nice To Just Be Cared For
"A colleague friend took care of my wounded knee during work. We were alone in the canteen, and he was very sweet and caring. Guess I'm not used to that."
No Shirt, No Shoes, No Chill For This Person
"Was very cavalier about getting changed in front of me."
Honestly, this can either mean one of two things: the friend is purposely being flirty or, alternatively, they think of you super platonically. Like a lamp.
Are We Sure This Wasn't Flirting?
"We were hanging out with a bunch of people and moving from one location to the next. She asked to ride in my car since I was solo. When she got in my car she told me to wait and leave the parking lot last. Then she said, 'Let's ditch everyone and just go somewhere else. Just you and I.'"
Math Can Be Sexy, I Guess
"We were in some math class in high school and she was tutoring me mid-class. She was leaning over next to me as I was sat down and she had her hand on my back. She was almost whispering into my ear how to figure out this problem. Something about her voice was so soothing and arousing."
Any Guys Out There Want To Pull My Ponytail And Fall In Love?
"A close friend from university pulled my ponytail firmly enough to get my attention because I didn't hear him call me. Had to catch my breath after that... We're married now."
Panic Mode Is My Resting State
"While sitting beside each other, she lay her head down onto my lap unexpectedly. I went into panic mode and promptly jumped in my seat, making her sit back up."
We All Know That Laugh
"I was cracking jokes with a coworker and when she laughed at something I said she pushed at my chest in that 'Oh, stop it, you!' kinda way and, boy, I nearly melted right then and there."
Neck Kisses Can Make Anyone Weak
"We used to do this thing where she'd kiss my cheek whenever we said bye. She kissed my neck on accident because I moved (I think someone distracted me at a party)...and yeaaah..."
Play With His Hair!
"Ruffled my hair. It wasn't that big of a deal, but she was one of my close friends and that just... Wow."
Okay, but someone running their fingers running through your hair is *chef's kiss* every time.
Fellas, Take Notes!
"I remember a female friend saying that she liked the smell of my deodorant and just grabbing on to my arm, and then she proceeded to walk beside me for a while."
There's Something About The Reversing-Hand Thing
"He was driving and I was riding shotgun. He had to reverse to parallel park and turned his torso towards me, putting his arm around my seat in order to look back.
"He did that so confidently and effortlessly that it made me feel a little funny."
Three Words, Eight Letters
"She was the most popular girl in our class. She said 'I love you' to me as a friend (I think anyway, or I'm just incredibly dense). I didn't like her, but it still made my heart flutter."
Coffee And Tension Don't Normally Go Together, But...
"I was making coffee in my Aeropress for us and pressing slowly on the top of it like you're supposed to before she shouldered me over a little and leaned on my hand to push it down faster. It was cute as hell and I'll never forget it."
Hugs Are Drugs <3
"We were watching a movie when he gave me a hug. While hugging me, he gently ran his hands up and down my back. He didn't mean anything sexual with it. I, on the other hand, have a very sensitive back and was severely turned on by it."
Feeling Curious?
"She ran her nails along the skin on the inside of my forearm. I'm straight, but oh my god it made me feel some type of way. I mean, I was straight—now I'm not sure."
It's The Rolled Up Sleeves For Me
"The last guy I had a crush on (he was my boss) was walking and folding his sleeves at the same time and I was looking at him. It was such a simple thing, but I couldn't focus on work for the rest of the day."
Wink At Your Bros More
"Heterosexual male here. A male friend of mine was responding to a question someone else had asked and my eyes met with his. He gave me a quick wink and it caught me so off guard. I later caught myself giggling and swooning at the move."
Loud Noises Do Be Scary, Though
"A group of us went to a firework display and during the usual, louder and bigger finale fireworks, one of the girls jumped, grabbed my arm tight, and didn't let go."
Some People Are Just Touchy Drunks
"She starts to hug me a lot every time we drink."
I totally get it. Normally, I would avoid touching my friends unless necessary. When drunk, all the homies are getting hugs and forehead kisses.
This Is A PSA To Shoot Your Shot
"I slept over at my friend's house because it was late and I didn't feel like driving home. She walks out of the room to change into what she sleeps in, which was a sleeveless band shirt with holes in it. The armholes were stretched and showed side boob, no bra, and just underwear bottoms.
"I made a move and we're married now.
"She insists to this day that she had no intention of seducing me. It's just what she's comfortable sleeping in."
