Have you ever questioned if you and your best male friend are something more? You spend all your time around with them, you hang out with them every day, some people may even think you're dating! But, in reality, you're actually not dating. Is it because you don't have feelings for each other or is that because you two are hiding something from each other?

Friendships often lead to something more. Some of the happiest couples started out as best friends. So, are you and your best friend more than friends but are not dating? There are some tell-tale signs that you two might become something more than just friends in the future.

Signs That You're More Than Just Friends

So, you guys are friends, but you're always together, texting, holding hands, and always around each other? Ever thought about how come that you two act like a couple but you are not? Well, you might actually be more than just friends. You two might think you're just friends or even best friends. But in reality, both of you are just denying the truth. Close friendships can sometimes turn into romantic relationships. Here are some signs that you're actually more than just friends.

1. Sharing things about your life

Yes, it is common to share things about your life with your friends. But do you find yourself talking to them about things you don't usually share with other people? And do they share things about their own life to you? For example, your secret fears, past relationships, future hopes and dreams. If you two do this to each other, then that makes the bond you have very special. It also means you trust them, even more than you trust your other friends.

2. Daydreaming about them a lot

When you're not with them, do you ever find yourself daydreaming about them? Maybe it's about the last time you went to lunch with them or maybe something more, such as imagining the two of you lying down under a starry night together. Daydreams are a big give-away sign that deep down, you want to be more than just friends with them. Basically, if you can't stop thinking about them, then you might have a huge crush that you don't realize yet.

3. You're jealous when they spend time with someone else

Have you ever felt a pang of jealousy when your friend spends their time with someone else? You thought they were just your friend and you simply loved hanging out with them, but the second they have a date with someone or hanging out with someone else, all of a sudden your heart gets really jealous. If so, then that is a big sign of a crush. The problem here is if you don't address your feelings correctly, this might have a negative impact on your relationship. If you feel jealous when they're away, then start re-evaluating your feelings for them. If it's truly a crush, or even better, love, then start to make a move!

4. You have nicknames for each other

Nicknames between friends are common. But do you share a set of special nicknames with that particular friend? Are those nicknames sweet, such as "cutie pie" or "my pumpkin"? The way a person refers to you is a huge sign of how they feel toward you. If they're especially affectionate when calling you, then there might be something more going on between you two.

5. Your friendship is changing slowly

When the two of you are together, does the world seem to fade away? It feels as if you can't take your eyes away from them. Or maybe, have you two been "accidentally" touching each other, like on your shoulders and arms? If so, then these subtle changes are a sign that your friendship might transform into something more.

6. A lot of things remind you of them

You just do your regular daily activities and feel like you can't keep them out of your head? Maybe you go into a store and see their favorite candy or maybe you go to have some lunch and think about their favorite combo meal. It's as if the whole universe reminds you of them. Well, if so, then this is a tell-tale sign that you might be harboring feelings for them.

7. You brag about them to other people

Do you find yourself talking about them to your other friends and family members? Do you brag about their accomplishments and say that you're proud of them? Talking constantly about this special "friend" to others means that you simply can't get them out of your head. And can you guess what it's a sign for? Yes, you're right. That means you may see them as more than just friends but you simply don't realize it yet.

8. You hide your true feelings from each other

Has this thought ever crossed your mind: "We like each other but aren't dating. I want to tell them how I feel but I'm afraid I'll ruin our friendship." If you have thought of somebody in that light, then it's official! You're actually in love with them! It's not uncommon for best friends to become couples later on. Besides, wouldn't it be amazing to date the best friend who understands and cares for you? So, try to explain these true feelings to them. Who knows, maybe they're harboring a secret crush on you too.

Takeaway Message

So, what do you think? Have you experienced any of the signs above with your best friend? If you're more than friends but not dating, then maybe it's time to make a move. Re-evaluate your feelings for them and if it's true love, then maybe it's time to take it to the next level. Good luck!
