Signs To Know You Are Just Friends

Most celebrities use the term 'just friends' pretty loosely and that is why it has become a little cliched. Actually this phrase is supposed to mean that you are the best of friends but you are not a couple. Nowadays, when you say 'just friends' people interpret it as friends with benefits! However, you need not fall prey to the malicious twists and turns of language.

It is perfectly possible for a guy and a girl to be best friends and not want anything 'more' from the relationship. Some obvious signs can help you realise that the two of you are just friends and nothing more.

Signs To Know You Are Just Friends

You Don't Get Wet Dreams About Him
When you are attracted towards someone, you will have warm thoughts about that person. You might have wild fantasies about him and that will come to you in the form of dreams. But if you just 'like' him as a friend this will never happen to you.

You Don't Check Her Out
All guys check out girls. But what about your best pal whom you grew up playing soccer with? Even if she is wearing a bikini, you wouldn't really check her out.

He Don't Get Jealous About Him
Friendship and love are two very different emotions. When you are in love with someone, you instantly become possessive. However, when you are just friends with a guy, you won't be jealous if you see him with a hot girl. If you feel a slight pang of jealousy then may be you do have feeling for your friend.

You Aren't Chivalrous Around Her
You don't bother hold the door for her and you would rather pull the chair from under her than pull on up for her. You are happy to pass on the bill to her and end up fighting about who pays at the cafe! This means you see her as a buddy and not as your lady love.

Your Fights Are Not Intense
Friends also have fights but there are no tears and banging doors in such fights. You don't have emotionally intense fights with your friends. You usually fight about whose favourite football team wins.

You Can't Imagine Each Other As Spouse
You can never imagine what it would be to get married to your best friend and the thought is really funny to you. This means that you are truly just friends and nothing more.

Look for these signs to check if you are just friends. Its silly to ruin your friendship for starting a relationship that was never meant to be.
