A couple days ago, around 3 AM, a friend of mine (19F) asked me (19M) to pick her up and drive her home after a night out. We've known each other through mutual friends for about 2 years. We've always gotten along well, but we've never been particularly close.
Took about half an hour to get to her place and we chatted the whole way there. After we arrived, we ended up sitting in my car talking for about three hours. It flowed very well and the chemistry felt great.
We snuck in subtle compliments toward each other here and there. Eventually she started initiating physical contact - resting her head on my leg, interlocking my fingers with hers, place her hand on my jaw - we essentially "cuddled" for a full hour in silence. Towards the end she said a few times "I should go" but didn't leave.
Before this the most physical we'd ever been was a normal hello/goodbye hug, so this came completely out of nowhere. I think we were both quietly in shock from the sudden escalation of intimacy.
We haven't spoken since then.
I'm trying not to assume anything, but I'm confused af. Was that a romantic moment? What should I do next?
