Is it ridiculous or just sad?

I was at aikido tonight - usual Monday night activity, just me, M and sensei tonight probably at least partly because of the snow.

We were doing a technique, or rather, I was attemptimg to do a technique with not a great amount of success and M, while trying to describe what it feels like as the one being... techniqued, says "I feel very close to [me]".

At kind of the same time, I say "Aw, I feel very close to you too, M" our sensei says "That's alright, I feel very close to [me] too. She's very likeable."

So is it ridiculous or sad that I actually felt kind of touched at the words, even though it was jokey. I don't think anyone's ever said anything like that about/to me...

I don't know. I think it's very sweet.

It's these black belts you know - squishy on the inside ;)
