Too sexual BFF?

[WhoWhatWhen]

My best friend gropes me. I don't understand why. She does it to boys (and girls sometimes, she's bi) she likes but also me? She has told me specifically that she doesn't like me sexually but sometimes this groping habit makes me confused and uncomfortable.

I need opinions. How do I tell her to stop (because she does it in public and it's embarrassing)?

Yeah even sharing this makes me a little embarrassed so I'm going to go hide in a corner...

Just tell her, stop, no means no, and that's your right to tell her to stop

Or show her this post and thread

If she doesn't stop, id say she's not being a good friend to you

Just ask her to stop doing it and that it makes you uncomfortable:) It's not that much to ask! She'll understand!! She probably thinks she's being fun or whatever!

She's taking advantage of the fact you let her. Simply say 'can you stop doing that please, I don't like it and it's embarrassing'. If she doesn't stop there's something wrong with her :/ that's sexual assault, no means no. Nobody should be touching you unless you want them to. In her defence though, you have to actually speak up when she does it and not just laugh it off.

I just recently came from a community where behavior like that is considered most simply as, well, playful. I imagine that she probably has the same mindset, that it's not causing any harm.

But for both you to regain your comfortable her to understand that she can't do this for everyone, she needs to be informed. I agree with everyone here. Just tell her that you're not comfortable with the way she makes physical contact. She'll most likely stop, but if she doesn't, then more serious discussion with higher authorities may be necessary in the future.

Just bring it up to her that what she is doing makes you very uncomfortable, especially in public and that its very inappropriate for her to be doing such a thing regardless of your friendship with herand remind her that respect is a 2 way street. IF she gets upset by your telling her this, then apparently there were some conditions to your friendship that you werent aware of and it would be good of you to let it go.

tell her politely but firmly she needs to stop because she is making you feel uncomfortable. don't have to be rude, but you can still get the point what she is doing to you is unacceptable

I think she does like you so that's why she's doing that. I know its hard to say it when its happening (I cant either) but you should talk to her maybe another time when she isnt doing that. Just say something like "so the other day when you touched my ____ I didnt like that"
