Advice. I need it bad.

Although there is nothing wrong with same-gender relationships, I can see that you're uncomfortable with it, and that's fine.

I have to be honest that, when I first read this, I thought that it was just like my friend and I. We don't feel that way towards each other, but we'll do some of those things, like loop arms and sometimes hold hands. Sometimes that friend will run through my hair when I'm sleeping (I once woke up and felt it), but it's all just friendship. However, when I read more, I was thinking that this friend of yours just might like u in that way. I don't think that u need to panic about it; it's awkward, sure, but there shouldn't be space made to sweat over it.

She really seems to look up to you; I'm sure u must be a great person, if I may say. As for how u feel, moving on, I think that u should be honest with her. It doesn't exactly mean that u should only tell her about how u two feel about one another, but maybe some of the things she does. If you're not comfortable with something, u have the right to say "no"; just as long as it's in a kind fashion. Speak calmly and carefully, and I'm sure that she'll understand you. Relationship-wise, it sounds like she's fine with just being friends. Of course she can still be that way if u tell her your feelings; and if you're fine with it, allow her to do some of the things she's doing now. The things that u don't feel so uncomfortable with, like maybe the arm loops and the hugs.

I'm not you, however, so I'm not sure of what u like of dislike. I'm not sure of what your friend would say of what u think would be easier to say to her, so go with what u know. Also, these are all just suggestions; I'm not forcing u to do anything, just in case u take it in such way. Overall, I would suggest that u would also take your time and be patient. Things like this -- and most other things -- don't happen overnight of immediately.

Good luck to you, and feel free to ask any other vragen that u may have.
