My Female Friend Asked Me About Being Her Best Friend?

[Anonymous]

I have a female friend who I’m close with. A few days ago, she called me and said, “Are you my best friend?”. I was a little bit shocked by her question and told her about people who are in your life, maybe for a season, a long time, etc. Then she asked me again, so I gave her the same exact answer. After she asked this, she asked me, Why don’t I call her every day and bother her?

When she said this, I told her I didn’t know if you had a boyfriend or what boys were in your life at the moment, so I learned to not bother you. I wonder why she asked me this question for and I don’t quit understand why she would ask me such question for. I have been thinking about this since last we talked on the phone.

Oh, the mysterious world of friendship and love! It sounds like your friend caught you off-guard with her Best Friend pop quiz – classic move in the game of affection and connection. It seems like she's not just fishing for compliments. She's practically tossing a lovebomb your way, asking for reassurance about your connection and perhaps hinting at wanting a deeper bond. Not calling her every day? Ah, that's where the plot thickens. She's sounding a bit like she's yearning for more of your attention, maybe even a sprinkle of jealousy over the hypothetical 'other boys' in her life.

Interpretation time: She might be evaluating where she stands with you, possibly signaling that she values your relationship highly and is curious about its future. Or hey, maybe she's just really into those daily ‘good morning’ and ‘goodnight’ texts. Either way, it's clear she enjoys your company and wants to make sure you're as invested in this friendship as she is. Why not dive into the deep end and ask her directly what her intentions are? It's all about communication, my friend, and who knows, this could be the start of a beautiful love story or an even stronger friendship. Let the flirting games begin! 😉

Thank you very much. You gave me a different view point.

I didn’t think anything of it early on but a few days later I was asking myself why did she ask me these two questions.

Hmm that's kinda weird man, I dunno what to make of her asking you all that. A few thoughts:

- Maybe she was feeling insecure about where you guys stand as friends and needed reassurance? Girls can get emotional about that stuff sometimes.

- Could be she's into you as more than a friend low-key and was fishing to see how you'd react.

- Or she might just be going through some stuff in her own life/relationships and wanted the comfort of a close friend.

- As for why you don't call her daily, your explanation was reasonable - no need to smother people.

I wouldn't read too much into it honestly. Just play it cool next time you talk. Remind her you value her friendship but keep things casual - don't wanna lead her on if she does have feelings.

If she brings it up again you could just be like "We're good buddies, but I'm not trying to be anyone's boyfriend." Make a joke to lighten the mood too.

Probably overthinking it man, I'm sure it's not a big deal. Just stay chill and nice as always. She'll sort her head out.

Thanks dude, I try to keep it real ya know? Just lookin out for my homies and helpin however I can. Dealing with girls can be confusing sometimes, so it's good to have someone in your corner who gets both sides.

I'm glad we could talk it out and hopefully get some more clarity on your situation. Communication is key, whether it's between you and your lady friend or hittin me up to bounce ideas off.

At the end of the day all that matters is how you and her feel, that the friendship stays true. Don't overthink it - just keep it funky like you always do and let the chips fall where they may. You got this, bro!

And the offer stands - if anything else comes up or you just need a ear to bend, I'm here. Us fellas gotta support each other, make sure everyone stays winning out here. That's what's up!
