10 Things You Realize When You Date Your Best Friend
Friends Wiki

We've all seen how it goes in the movies: the best friend always wins the heart of the protagonist. It's what we all dream of: falling for someone who understands us on that level. We think it's played out and too good to be true. Ultimately, though, we all find that the person we fall in love with becomes our best friend in time. This is what you realize when you fall in love with your best friend.


1. There's a great flirt to roast ratio in your relationship.

Half of the things you say to each other are sarcastic and borderline savage. It's all out of love.

2. You aren't ever afraid to chow down in front of each other.

"Should I get fried mac and cheese or avocado eggrolls?"

"If you don't get both I'll be concerned."

3. When you're a wreck, they know just what to do.

Through the best times and worst, you've got your best friend there to support you. They know exactly how to cheer you up and would go to the ends of the earth to do so.

4. They love all sides of you, even the really weird sides.

They're as strange as you are, and that's what makes the relationship work.

5. You're not afraid to embarrass yourself.

You've been doing it around them for so long, the fact that you're dating doesn't change that.

6. First date jitters were never a thing.

It's like starting to date half way through your relationship, your first date is actually like your twentieth.

7. You hate all the same people.

What's theirs is yours, including enemies. You're always on the same team.

8. You gossip like two 70 year old women.

They have the best gossip, and you look forward to your weekly wrap sessions constantly.

9. High-fives are just as good as kisses.

They give you props where props are due. You're basically dating your personal cheerleader.

10. The hardest part is fighting with them, but it never lasts long.

You have nobody else to talk to! They're everything to you, and you miss them.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
