When it comes to significant others, finding "the one" is not easy. A telltale sign that you've scored a good one is if you connect in the way that you and your best friend do—but with the amazing addition of a relationship, of course. It’s been said that having a significant other who is also your best friend increases the longevity of the relationship, improves the quality and boosts connectedness. And why wouldn't it? When you can share your inner most thoughts without the fear of being judged, marvelous things can happen. So, is your S.O. also your BFF? Find out with these 10 signs.
1. You always laugh together. Whether it’s at each other, someone else or something as simple as a movie. You never cease to have a smile on your face around one another.

2. You do everything together. From playing any variety of sports or just relaxing, you’re always together and enjoying what you do.
3. You tell each other secrets you wouldn’t tell anyone else. When you have secrets with your S.O. that even your best friend doesn’t know—that’s when you know you’ve reached the best friend level.
4. You eat all the same foods, because let’s be real, food is incredibly important. So, if you guys like the same things it’s practically meant to be.
5. They’re your rock. If anything ever goes terribly wrong or you just have a bad day, they are immediately there for you to make it all better.
6. They get along with your parents. Just as your best friend is close to your parents and has no problem spending time with him, neither does you S.O.
7. They practically live at your house. Even if you wanted to, you couldn’t get rid of them. They’re just as comfortable in your home as they are in their own.
8. You can speak your own language with them. If your mouth is full of food, or you simply can’t get the words out, they know exactly what you’re trying to say and respond appropriately.
9. You can be yourself around them. If you find yourself being crazy and weird just like you are with your best friend with your significant other, then you are definitely best friends.
10. You would do anything for each other, from errand running to a back massage, they're on it. All of their problems are your problems, and vice versa.
The next time you're cuddling up with your S.O. on the couch watching Netflix, turn to them and let them know they are your best friend, too. Trust me, that will score you major points (hello, extra massage!)
