It's far too easy to project our own thoughts, feelings and desires unto the actions of a little girl. People might look at these completely natural behaviors and totally misinterpret them and say "She wants you man. Go for it!". This is of course absurd.

Her behavior does not sound that unusual to me, and is typical behavior for an 8 year old. I would not say that any of her actions are sexual in nature. Sensual perhaps, but not sexual. I would not worry about it at all, and I would certainly not do anything special. Just continue to be a friend to her and let her know you care for her. She may have some romantic feelings for you, she may not. Either way, it should not affect how you interact with her.

But as I said, I NEVER would do this - yet an adult can't help but wonder such things when a female offers to put part of your body in their mouth and complains when you take it out...!

Nothing wrong with a healthy fantasy life, as long as it remains a fantasy.

Good luck with all this. :)
