While a large part of the population believes that a ‘guy and a girl can never be bestfriends’, there are some girl and guy bestfriends that have proved this belief wrong. In fact, you must consider yourself really lucky if you have someone from the opposite sex as your bestfriend.

Here are the things that you will definitely relate to if you have a  bestfriend of the opposite sex

Other friends in your circle will always think that you are dating. You must probably be tired making them believe that you two are ‘just friends’ 

No matter how much you two fight, you will always find your way back to each other, unlike your other friendships that come to a standstill after an ugly fight. With your guy bestfriend/girl bestfriend, your fight will never get ugly.

You two will always tease each other by someone or the other. You will also always keep finding someone for each other to date.

You might make fun of each other and also trouble each other to no limits, but when someone else troubles your friend, boy! that person is in for some real problem. This is because you are too protective about your friend.

You have become the adopted child of your friend’s parents. They treat you as good as their own child. 

One call or text from your friend informing you about a problem he/she has got into, you drop down all that is there at hand and run to help.

You will never be uncomfortable getting into a physical fight with your bestfriend. The gender will never become a barrier because of the comfort you two share.

You will never feel the need to hang out with others if you have your bestfriend by your side.

You have spent so much time together that you have picked up almost half of each other’s traits. 

If you find someone ‘special’, they will have to go through a long interview session with your bestfriend. 

Not once will you feel the need to be fake or pretentious. You can absolutely be honest with each other. 

You don’t know what feeling shy is in front of each other.

Even in the age of smartphones, each other’s contact numbers will be at the tip of your tongue as if it’s your own. 

You cannot go a day without talking to him/her.  

It’s the best kind of commitment you will ever have without going through the extra drama that usually follows in a love relationship 

If you have ticked off all, we suggest never ever let that friend go! Hold on to that friendship.
