It depends on you. I have *loads* of female friends, some closer than others. Maybe 4 or 5 I hold hands with all the time. The same ones I've slept with (sleep as in zzzz) many times, and we hug in bed (because it's nice). Two I've slept with (as in sex) just because it was intimate and we were feeling snuggley-and-a-bit-more. Kissing's different. I have only 'casual/passing' girly-friends I kiss when I see them, occasionally on the lips, but obviously, no tongue 
but surprisingly I haven't kissed the ones I sleep with (zzzz) except their hair when I'm hugging them 'cos they're crying, or something similar.It's very hard to draw the line with me, as most of my most intimate friends are women, and we generally adore each other, lol.
Gets annoying if feelings develop that aren't mutual though, and of course if I was not single I wouldn't be this intimate with friends.
I think serious kissing is an indication that you will eventually be sleeping with that person, given that the person is a sexually active person (ie not being inhibited because they are young/a virgin/whatever).
Well, that's how it's worked with me.
