What would this imply?

Question

That if you spot your friend who's sitting by himself in church and he's crying with his head bowed (whether he lost a loved one(blood relative) or something else), you walk over to him, sit down, and put your arm around him giving him a little rub on the back or shoulder and keeping him close to you. You could be resting your head against his or holding his hand.

What would that say to others? THat you like him more than a friend or that you truly care about that person and you're comforting him?

Answer 1

That you are a good, compassionate person.  

Answer 2

can't really answer that.. it depends on what country you're in..culture plays a great role.  get what i mean??  other races find it okay and normal, but others find it more like you two are dating or together or something like that.  for some, it's okay. for other's it's to be frowned upon.

Answer 3

It says that you're a compassionate person and have a big heart!  And that you're a good friend.  Anyone who implies anything romantic is silly....
