The only bond stronger than a girl and her best friend is that of a parent and their child, and even that is a questionable overtaker of the best friend relationship.
You know everything about them and vice versa but maybe you didn't realise the level of your relationship. Here are the 16 signs you and your best friend are worse than an insufferable couple. You are a frouple!
1. Communicate with just a look
With one look you can tell your best friend that the guy they are talking about is gorgeous but is shy but the date went so well and realistically you will go out again, because after a few drinks he was so chatty and nice.
2. Multiple conversations on Snapchat, Whatsapp and Facebook all the time
If you are not having three different conversations at the same time, you aren't true best friends. A snap of your up close, awful face to continue the chat about your day, a Whatsapp convo about the lad you matched on Tinder, with accompanying photo and a Facebook message linking them to the latest engaged couple you just creeped is necessary at all times.
3. A fight with them is worse than a break up
Fighting with your bestie leaves you so emotionally drained you just can't see a way back. Your friendship is over and so is life as you know it. Except, you will be back together, joined at the hip within 48 hours.
4. Discuss what pet you will get when you are living together
Chances are you have discussed the prospect of living together (if you're not already doing so) and the natural progression in the relationship is what pet you will get. Now you know it's getting serious. A dog or a cat? Could be a deal breaker.
5. Take personal offence when people don't like them
What the hell is wrong with you? They are the most fantastical person on the planet, how could you not like them? You jealous? I can't believe this, this is so upsetting. Bitch.
6. Can't make a life decision without them
"OMG he replied, wait what do I say back? Oh, Jane will know" *screenshots message and sends to best friend. If this isn't you, you are NOT best friends.
7. Have pet names for each other
Boo, my love, hun, sweetie, babe, chica, pretty lady etc. when actually written down they make you want to vomit a little bit so imagine people hearing you say them? *shudder*
8. "Married" or "in a relationship" with each other on Facebook
Having your relationship status on Facebook in general is a questionable move but when it's with your best friend people seem to think it's acceptable. Feck your actual boyfriend/girlfriend, it's more important that people know you are committed fully to your bestie.
9. If they hate someone, so do you
This also introduces the sacred "we". "So why don't we like her again?" You both ARE the same person so if your best friend hates someone, irrespective of the ridiculous reason behind the hatred, you hate them too.
10. Your parents question your relationship
This has happened more than once and you can see why they would think there was something more than just best friend love considering you spend any available free time with said best friend.
11. Have a marriage pact in place
"If we aren't married by the time we are 42 will we just marry each other and live together with our dogs?" Sound familiar? Yes, this is a real conversation that happens much more regularly than you would think or than it should.
12. Jealous of their other friends
"What do you mean your 'other' friend is coming with us?" No no, you don't have any other friends, you have me and... me. Don't be silly.
13. It's always assumed they're your plus one
Invites to events no longer exist for your best friend. If you are in attendance, so are they. It gets a little awkward though when you break the news to your boyfriend/girlfriend that they aren't your first choice party companion.
14. Annoying people with your inside jokes
You say a word to each other and you crack up, leaving the people surrounding you thinking exactly what Chris O' Dowd is thinking.
15. Pretend to be their significant other when a creep is around
This isn't even the weirdest thing you have done for each other. If lobbing the gob on your best pal saves her from the drivel being spouted by some drunk creep in Coppers then you are more than happy to oblige.
16. Tag your best friend in social media posts about best friends
Seeing a photo like this posted on Facebook, nodding your head while whispering 'so true' under your breath while simultaneously tagging your best friend with the caption 'Us' and a love heart for good measure.
If these signs apply to you and your best pal, you are most likely annoying for those outside the twosome but feck the haters. Besties4lyf
