Growing up, I was always "one of the guys." Though I had female friends, my stronger connections were always with the males. I guess that's just how I'm wired. So when I headed off for college, it was no surprise that I would bond quicker with the guys I met than I would the girls. By my fifth day, I was already talking sports and joking around with the guys I met, and cringing over the drama the girls would talk about. Within the first two weeks of my freshman year, I met a boy who quickly became my best friend. I quickly noticed that when a guy becomes your best friend, some things happen, such as:

1. He's brutally honest, even when you don't want to hear it.

If you're being a little moody, or he doesn't like your shirt, you're going to know it.

2. You become his wing (wo)man.

You give him pep talks and encourage him to go talk to girls. You're also the best wing man he's ever had.

3. You eat way too much food together.

He never bats an eye when you start your fourth taco or grab that third slice of pizza.

4. You discuss each other's relationships and everything else in unnecessary detail.

You know EVERYTHING about anything, including each others sex lives, and that's totally normal.

5. "She's more cute-attractive than hot-attractive."

You've had this conversation many, many, many times when he points out a girl.

6. You use each other's language and phrases.

You sound exactly the same.

7. You say the meanest things to each other, but never mean it.

"You are the biggest idiotic, ugly, moron I've ever met."

8. Spontaneous adventures are always done together.

He's always down to go climb a mountain with you.

9. Your significant others get jealous.

Whenever they find out you're hanging out together for the fourth time this week, they are rolling their eyes and in need of a little reassurance.

10. People always think you're dating.

Then you are absolutely astonished when they find out it's never crossed either of your minds.

11. Some people are fully convinced you'll end up together in the long run.

They are convinced time will change your minds.

12. You are always there for each other, no matter what.

You support one another through the roughest times, and you are willing to drop everything when the other needs you.

13. No matter what, you know he's the best friend you'll ever have, and you cherish one another.

Nothing will ever change your friendship.
