Dating can often be a rather tedious affair. To begin with, it's hard to find someone whom you actually click with, and then to pursue the person and get into a relationship subsequently, if you're lucky enough that is, is also like taking a leap of faith. It can go right and life will be good, but god forbid if it goes wrong, then your life can become a living hell.
How about you save yourself that misery, and be in a relationship with your best friend instead! Before you completely dismiss the idea, hear us out. It's, hands down, the most awesome thing ever. Let these 14 reasons tell you why.
1. There is no room for any surprises (or read: shock).
The secrets are all out on the table. Her drunken escapades, all the a*s-holes she dated in the past, her ideologies and her expectations.
2. You already know what the other person wants from a relationship.
You know she wants to get married by 30 and hates cats. There is no fear of truth, no guessing games and everything you want to know, you already know.
3. You understand each other's career priorities well.
She knows that you'll move heaven and earth to start your own advertising agency, and you know she wants her book published before she turns 35. And together you can open your own bakery. #LifeisGood
4. There will always be something to talk about.
Chances are that you probably would have talked about everything and anything under the sun, but surprisingly still never run out of topics, ever. That's the beauty of being in a relationship with your best friend.
5. You already know what you guys like doing together.
Because you've already done everything together. Adventure sports, grocery shopping, pub-hopping, book reading, or taking your pets out for a walk. And now you can focus on doing all the other sexy stuff, too! It's like you can have your cake and eat it too.
6. You can totally skip the 'I have to impress her' drama.
You don't always need to be at your prim-and-proper best in the initial stages of the relationship. No pressure to impress. She will not judge you if your shoes are not polished. She's a gone girl, my dear friend!
7. You don't have to worry about what your parents or relatives think about your relationship.
Let's face it, they already, probably, know about it or have suspected it from before.
8. You know each other's sex lives rather well.
Because the truth is that she came to you for all the sex advice she needed before.
9. You've already seen each other at your worst.
You know that relationship milestone where you're 'gross in front of them for the first time.' Yes, you guys will never have to face that after coming together in a relationship. Your puke post-drunk face, your awkward cry face or how you really smell after a heavy workout session after a gym-she's well-versed with all your gross and weird habits.
10. There is no room for any awkward post-fight conversations or silences.
Which means total silence with them is as comfortable as having to strike a conversation after a fight. You've reached that comfort zone in your relationship.
11.Your best friend already knows you inside out. You don't have to say out loud when you need them the most.
She has and will always be there for you, no matter what!
12. You don't have to impress her best friends or her annoying siblings.
They already like you, tiger! :P
13. You don't have to worry about hitting the 'low phase' in your relationship.
With your best friend, the honeymoon period doesn't come with an expiry date, it always is fun with her.
14. They say that your SO must also be your best friend, but in your case, your best friend is your SO.
Aren't you the luckiest?
