1. Your best friend has seen you at your worst and they still love you. They have no need to see you looking pretty or together all the time. You could show up in curlers with the biggest pimple ever and they’d still accept you.

2. Your best friend has probably been around longer than your boyfriend. They are reliable, loyal and entrenched in your life.

3. You don’t necessarily have more fun with your best friend but it’s a different kind of fun. It feels more relaxed and honest.

4. You don’t have to impress your best friend. You can be yourself.

5. Your best friend will drop everything and come rescue you and you’d do the same for them.

6. Your best friend will understand you and not judge you. You talk to them and feel totally understood for once in this big, bad world.

7. Your best friend has probably known you when you were a grungy, gross middle schooler or when you puked all over yourself freshman year. They’ve known you through every phase of your life.

8. You’ve always been sure about your best friend, but you sometimes doubt if your boyfriend is really “the one.”

9. You never fight with your best friend the way you fight with your boyfriend.

10. Your best friend is there for you after every break up and through every shitty ex. They will put you back together when you’re hurt.

11. You know if things get tough you and your best friend can run off to Mexico and go on the run.

12. There’s nothing sexual going on so you can cuddle up and watch TV together for hours and there’s no pressure to do anything but that.

13. Your best friend has probably done more for you in life, in terms of favors and life experience, than your boyfriend has. You should show them more appreciation.

14. Your best friend will never let you down, forget an anniversary or break a date.

15. And if your boyfriend is also your best friend? Or if these apply to both? YOU HAVE WON THE LOTTERY OF LIFE! CONGRATS! TC Mark
