When movies show what best friends should look like, the all too familiar images of girls gossiping at sleepovers or a group of guys on a sports field are provided to the audience. If a movie introduces a friendship between two genders, it almost always ends in a choreographed sex scene or a kiss in the rain. Fortunately, life is not a movie. Having a best friend of the opposite gender is amazing, but it comes with caveats that same-sex friendships don't. Below are the seven things that every girl with a platonic male soul mate knows.

1. People constantly ask if you're dating

2. Your best friend will be overprotective of you when you talk to guys romantically


When your new romantic interests and your best friend meet, you know to leave them alone so your best friend can get the interrogation out of his system. Your best friend knows the male minute and is automatically suspicious of men trying to get in your pants. This translates to tense stare downs between the men in your life.

3. You know too much about your BFF's sex life

You know about every fumbling hand and awkward silence that happens in your best friends bedroom. It's gross. You listen because you want to support him. Not because your curious. No way. Just kidding, its interesting in the way that car crashes are interesting.

4. You get a front row seat to the male psyche everyday

It's fascinating.

5. If someone hurts your best friend, you turn into a mama bear

No matter how big or old they get, they will always bee your baby. And you are willing to fight anyone/ anything that hurts your baby.

6. Your parents are confused and think that you are secretly in love

They think of your best friend as their future son-in-law and dote on him accordingly. It's gross and misguided. He won't be the father of my children, he'll be the godfather. Your parents always look more than a little disappointed by this when you remind them.

7. He does not feed into your drama

Your male best friend could not care less about the fact that a girl wore the same dress as you to prom or beat you out for the best grade in the class. He has the inmate ability to stare blankly at you while you rant until you realize that your are being ridiculous and petty.

8. You are each others wing woman/man


You make each other look good in front of your friends and reap the benefits that each others hot friends bring.

9. You know that they will always be in your life


No matter what dumb stuff they do, you will never be able to get rid of each other. This is a matching tattoo kind of friendship. If your relationship was represented by a tattoo, it would probably be a butterfly tramp stamp.

10. No matter how much he makes fun of you, you know it's all love


He might call you ugly and dumb as nicknames, but he treats you better than anyone could ever imagine. Its a nurturing and loving relationship shrouded with a facade of disdain.

11. People ask if you're SURE you aren't dating

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
