How you know you’ve met your non-sexual soulmate:
“Maybe our girlfriends are our soulmates and guys are just people to have fun with.”
—Candace Bushnell, Sex and the City
1. They just understand
Whether you’re too drunk to form actual sentences or you’re crying on the floor because the world is hard and unfair, they know what you’re trying to say. Usually it's that you love them.
2. You never get bored of talking to each other
Let’s talk about nothing and everything. Every topic is interesting if they’re the one you’re having it with.
3. Their success is your success
In such a competitive world, we all get jealous of other’s successes especially when you’re not doing so hot. But not with this person. You love them so much, their wins are your wins, their losses are your losses. You only want the best for him or her.
4. Honest advice is always a text message away
Even if the truth hurts, it never feels quite as harsh coming from them. You know it’s always said out of love.
5. Distance is never a factor
True friendship has no limit. This is the age of technology people! FaceTime is a thing!
6. You trust them with your ugly SnapChats
Mostly because you have worse ones saved to your phone.
7. They know the password to your phone
Honestly, it was too much of a hassle to keep opening it for them. You don’t have secrets to hide and they’ve already seen you naked anyway.
8. You know each other’s families
“I wonder how my mom’s doing.” “Oh, Jan’s fine. Your dad’s back has been acting up again. They send their love.”
9. They’re always there when you need them
It’s the person you call crying at 12 am after a breakup. The person that runs across campus in sweats to lay on the floor with you. The person you cancel plans for.
10. You can tell them anything
Literally, from heartbreak to bowel movements, they’re your go-to. “But is it supposed to be that color?!”
11. They’re the first person you want to tell something to
Good news, bad news, no news, new news, they’re the first person you want to tell. They'll make this face if it's really juicy:
12. You own something of theirs because it’s a comfort
“Is that my sweatshirt?” “Yes it gives me hugs when you can’t and smells like your hair. I’m not giving it back.” “Fine, but I’m taking yours.” “Fair.”
13. Everything else takes a backseat when they need you
Fourteen-page essay due tomorrow? Sorry, Professor she’s going through a tough time so you’re gonna have to wait. Class can chill, she needs to go for a drive to get cake pops and iced coffee because she’s having a hard time. Mental health day.
14. You can do anything together and it’s fun
Let’s sit in bed and watch My 600 Pound Life or just write an essay in the same room. You’re who I wanna be with... Or like, hold each others' boobs because sometimes THEY HURT.
15. They’re in all your future plans
Your kids are gonna call them Aunt/Uncle. They’re in your Pinterest wedding board. So it’s kind of a forever thing.
