Best friend in leggings, does she know?

[Kloop]

This may seem silly but I'm not sure what to think. Me, male 36 am best friends with a female, 34. Have been friends for many many years. Occasionally she'll wear see through leggings and bend over infront of me and they are see through. I can basically see her bare ass. She did this yesterday and I'm pretty sure she was wearing a thong, she knew I was coming over.

Does she know what she's doing? Maybe she doesn't know. She's currently single. Just wanted a female view on the situation. Thanks

See through leggings don't exist.  Clearly the leggings are worn out and she's not aware.  Perhaps you could tactfully tell her

See through leggings?  Do you mean pantyhose?  I think she's aware of what she's doing.  Maybe she's trying to get your attention.

I hadn't though of pantyhose, but that's because (where I live) they are so rarely worn these days.   And they are never worn without a dress over the top.   

@Kloop  Is she wearing worn out leggings or pantyhose?

This sounds like worn-out leggings. Wearing panythose without anything else on the bottom would just be...bizarre. 

She might not realize you can see through them when she bends in certain ways, OP. I had a pair like that and wasn't aware they became quite transparen if I bent over until my parner pointed it out (i never wore them outside the house anyway)

Do you like her as more than a friend?

They are definitely leggings. I think they must be worn out. If she wears them again I'll carefully tell her and see what her reaction is.

My thinking is when she sits cross legged she can see her knees show so why wouldn't she think her bum does. Unless she's just not thinking. Is she deliberately bending over in that way when she could crouch.

This post reminds me of someone I worked with years ago, none of us could figure out whether she knew there was a hole in the crotch of her bike shorts and whether she knew that when she bent over people would get an eyeful. She wouldn't wear any undies, just the glamour bike shorts, and one of the male staff once described it as like seeing a half-eaten McDonalds cheeseburger.  Anyway, most women are fully aware of what bits they're showing. As far as leggings go, if she's stretching them that tight that the fabric becomes semi-transparent, she needs to get a couple of sizes larger, or if they're really old maybe suggest she treat herself to a new pair.

the most likely scenario is that she is not aware that she's showing her bare ass, and i would think it very unlikely that this is some sort of "sign" that she is into you.  sometimes people just have to bend over to pick things up on the floor.

Do you make a habit of considering how you should move in any given situation based on what others could potentially see or not see? If not, why do you expect that women would always do so? Sometimes bending just makes more sense, especially when one is wearing pants...

I think you're way (way, way, way, way) overthinking this. I don't know a single woman who would signal interest by bending over in transparent leggings. It's also honestly rather bizarre to me that in 2025 anyone would be making such a big issue over women's bodies and what they are revealing and not revealing.

Essentially, I f you like her, just ask her out and see what she says, and if you don't, then why does it matter?

[Alpacalia]

Maybe she's just a lazy dresser and wears old, worn out clothes. I have a sweatshirt that is worn out but I love and you can totally see through it but I only wear it when I'm alone. I'm very aware of it being see through.

Are you thinking she's trying to come on to you, or, at least that's what you're hoping for?

She probably isn't thinking, no. 

You didn't answer this:

I'm not sure how I feel about her. She's attractive yeah.

Just I wonder why wear tight leggings and continuously bend over, bum towards me. I'm talking a good 10 minutes. I also think she wasn't wearing anything under, I apologise, but I couldn't help but look. I saw no panties or thong line.

She's at home. You went over to her house. People wear comfy stuff at home. People also usually have stuff at home that they need to bend over to do.

I still think it's ridiculous to analyze it to this degree... But if I had to make a guess, I'd say that it means that she views you as a "girlfriend", in the sense that she doesn't need to change into socially acceptable clothes when you come over.
