Sharing secrets and opinions
When two people are in love, they tend to finish each other’s sentences. In a developing romantic relationship, friends open up to one other. Sharing personal information with a buddy is a surefire way to show that your relationship with them goes beyond that of friends.
-
Giving each other a look
You know exactly what we’re talking about: the unmistakable look shared by onscreen lovers. This doesn’t happen in friendships, but they do occur in real life. Something must be bothering you in your friendship if you only manage to exchange glances with your pal from time to time.
You’re my friend, yet I think I’m falling in love with you, is the message sent by this gaze. Why not take the friendship to the next level if you both share the same eye contact? Nobody else can see it but themselves, yet they all do!

You constantly communicate with one another via phone and text
It might begin with a simple phone call every once in a while, to catch up or share some juicy gossip. In contrast, as time progresses, the calls become more frequent and last longer, eventually continuing well into the night.
That may be difficult to accept, but daily phone calls are unnecessary.
The activity is best shared with a significant partner rather than a casual pal. If you’re questioning whether or not you’re more than buddies, the fact that you two talk on the phone every day should settle the question.
-
Overprotective about each other
Partners-to-be are very protective of each other because they know they are on the cusp of something special. Do you always try to bail out your friend when they’re in a jam, or do they phone you to let you know they made it home safely?
You should consider whether this is truly a friendship if you find yourself always hovering over your buddies in an attempt to keep them safe.
You know for sure if your relationship goes beyond friendship if one of you regularly makes sacrifices for the other.
-
Dedicated to one another at an unimaginable degree
Loyalty is a well-known trait of close friendships. But at what point does loyalty go beyond the bounds of friendship and into something more romantic? When two people are truly in love, they do everything it takes to remain faithful to one another and support one another through tough circumstances.
That is why it hurts so profoundly when someone you love betrays your trust and commitment.
One of the most tangible signals that you’re more than buddies is if you’d drop everything to be by the other person’s side anytime they needed it.

Sharing in the joy of the season
Do you and your best friend usually hang out with others, or is it just the two of you? Holidays and weekends are times for relaxation and celebration. Consider your motives carefully if one of you tries to force the other to spend time with you.
If this describes you, it’s clear that you’re infatuated with social interaction. What more could you want from a burgeoning romance than that?
