Why do "cold" and "wet" textures feel so similar?

Edit: thanks to the numerous commentors giving input on this question!

We don't feel wet. What we feel is the water taking the heat from our skin, so it makes the skin colder which the brain detects as cold. We then use other senses like sight and pressure to distinguished between wet and cold.
