Sings that Your Best Friend Loves You Beyond Friendship:
Table of Contents
Friendships can be among the precious things of life. They help us through our darkest days and lend us their shoulders when we need them the most. But what if your friendship is much more than being just friends? Is your BFF secretly harboring a crush on you or what!? It’s not always clear but here’s where possible indicators could come in.
Here are some Subtle Clues to Look out for:
1. They Prioritize You:
“My best friend always prioritizes our relationship despite having a full plate and it tells me that my presence is worth more than friendship.” Your business is the biggest priority of theirs.
2. They Remember the Little things:
Best friend knows your favorite song, favorite drink at Starbucks and date when you guys met. Their precision of vision is maybe indicative of the care and concern in which they have been looking after you.
3. They Show Physical Affection:
While physical contact such as hugging, hand-holding or sitting on laps may be routine between close pals, take note if your BFF’s touch seems longer than usual, or is overly intimate. The test they might just have in mind may be for much larger purposes than we can imagine.
4. They Get Jealous:
If your best friend is acting a little edgy and jealous when you speak with enthusiasm about someone else or any other close friendship, chances are s/he wishes she could be her instead.
5. They are Overly Protective:
Your best betie is there to watch over you. This maternalistic behavior could be an indicator of how much they actually love you romantically.
6. They’re Always there for You:
Your bestie is literally always there; the shoulder-to-cry type of person when sh*t hits fan. Shawty’s been my rock throughout all this. If they’re willing to cancel plans on short notice just to be there with you, no matter how tough it is for them, there may just be something really special going on.
7. They Give You Meaningful Gifts:
When you’re receiving handmade, sentimental, or inside jokey gifts from your best friend… This signals not just that she’s giving something material to you, but that she is making an investment in your emotional bond.
8. They Make Future Plans With You:
If it’s a constant thing for your bestie to talk about having you around in the future, be it growing old together or road trips, then there could be much more than just friendship in their dreams.
9. They are Your Confidant:
This person who can be with you naked without a second thought (literally or figuratively) who has seen the good, bad and the ugly; who has been there through your highs and lows. If they share themselves with you, they’re investing in the relationship too.
10. They Drop Hints:
Your BFF might drop not-so-subtle hints and leave comments open to interpretation when they’re feeling something. Notice these hints, they may be fishing or looking for you to initiate something romantic.
Note:
that not all physical displays of friendship may signal the beginning of love. Maybe all they wanted was a friend. If you think your bestie crushes on you, be direct (but polite) and have a convo. It’s the most effective means for gauging their desires and maintaining the acquaintanceship should the love not be returned. A true friend is one who appreciates and cherishes not only the truth within you but also cherishes the fact that you were able to tell them something that they may not have wanted to hear.
