Signs You’ve Accidentally Fallen In Love With Your Best Friend - Page 5

Can men and women ever really be friends? Anything is possible. But a recent study found that if your BFF is of the opposite sex one of you is probably in love. Here’s how to tell if your friendship has snuck out of the neutral zone.

You’re Always Defending Your Friendship

If you had a dollar for every time someone asked you “are you sure you’re just friends?” you’d be rich. Are they confused? Or do they know something you don’t?

You’ve Taken Care of Him When He’s Sick

But when’s the last time you took your girl friend’s temperature, mopped her forehead or fed her soup?

You Argue All the Time

Do you argue about everything from where to eat to how many times he really texted you last night? You know what they say about smoke — there’s always fire behind it.

Your Boyfriend Is Suspicious

You can add his girlfriend to that list too. You keep telling him it’s strictly platonic, but he still gives you the side eye during your hour-long catch-up sessions with your BFF.

You Haven’t Completely Relaxed Around Him

Your girlfriends have heard you burp and seen you eat fries off of the floor, but there’s still a little bit of mystery between you and him. Could that be because you haven’t ruled out the possibility of dating down the line?

You Don’t Like His New Girlfriend

Now that you think about it, you didn’t like the last one either. And no, it’s not because you’re jealous — why does everyone keep asking you that?

You’ve Had That Dream

But when you woke up, you still felt like you two were just friends. Then you had it again.

There’s A Lot of Body Language

It’s easier to slide closer without either of you realizing it. Suddenly he’s started holding doors open for you? It’s a sure-fire sign that he’s feeling extra friendly.

He’s Your Emotional Crutch

You love your boyfriend, but your boy friend is the one you really open up to.

You Go Way Back

Most of your memories of the past involve him. Sometimes the future is hard to see when it arrives so early.

The Compliments Are Getting Out of Hand

And if you’re being honest, you blushed the last time you told him he looked good in that shirt.

It’s A Question of Timing

You’re seeing someone and so is he. But if you’re ever single at the same time, the game could change completely.

You Don’t Want to Ruin What You Have

And that’s just about the only reason you haven’t gone ahead to take the plunge already.
