Sure, you and your best friend love each other. But, here’s how to know if your best friend loves you in a deeper, more romantic way.
There is certainly a possibility. You spend a lot of time together. You know each other very well. You get along. Romantic feeling rising to the surface is not all that uncommon.
But, with that being said, you do not want to risk your friendship to ask them flat out if you are not sure. So, how do you know if your best friend loves you? It is not as complicated as you might think to figure out if your best friend loves you. You know this person well. It is easier to tell if they love you than it is a stranger or acquaintance.
Chances are you know if they were hiding something from you, just like they know if you are. So, it is best to figure things out as soon as possible so you can both face the feelings and go from there.
# Other people have noticed it
When your family and friends say something that is a pretty good way to know if your best friend loves you. When other people notice changes in behavior or chemistry it is pretty obvious.
# They are more touchy-feely
Maybe you always hugged, but now they hold on just a bit longer. Maybe they sit closer or even brush against your hand. These small signs may look like nothing from afar, but body language can be very telling.
# They rave about you
You might think it’s normal for your best friend to rave about you to others. But, think about it, best friends often tease each other. If your best friend is listing off all your amazing qualities to their family or friends, there could be a deeper reason.
# They are uncomfortable talking about your dating life
If you notice your best friend clamming up when you bring up dating or someone you like, it is likely because they secretly love you. This is especially noteworthy if they used to be totally fine with it.
# They haven’t dated in a while
When your best friend loves you, they are probably terrified to say anything. It is also probably more than a crush. This means they are not interested in dating anyone else.
They are focused on you and are probably pinning. So, if they used to date a decent amount, but they are now single and they haven’t given you a legitimate reason for it it could be that they love you.
# Teasing has turned into flirting
All best friends tease and joke. But if that joking feels more like flirting and leaves you feeling something different, they could be putting their feelings out there subtly. We normally do not flirt with our best friend, so if you’re wondering how to know if your best friend loves you, keep an eye on their flirting game.
In fact, we often feel comfortable with them. If all of a sudden, you notice a different vibe from them it could be love.
# You notice moments
This is a big one. Some people think it is all in your head, but I think it is one of the most obvious signs your best friend loves you. If you share moments where you think they could kiss you or you just know there is a spark, they love you.
Sure, you could be off, but this is someone you know well enough to call them your best friend. So, if anyone would know, it would be you.
# They bring you on friend dates
What the heck is a friend date? I am glad you asked. This means they bring you to events that would be dates, but they aren’t calling it that because, well, you are best friends.
Maybe they bring you to their family member’s wedding or they bring you to work events. Sure, it could be to just have a date to these more awkward events. Most people only bring someone very special to such important things.
