Guys, you may have had girlfriends with close friends in the past, but if you ever date a girl who has one true best friend, things may be a little different. Sure, you may be the new guy in her life, but her best friend has been there for everything, so you’ll have to get used to their awesome friendship and all that comes with it.
Expect your girl to tell her bestie just about everything. She won’t do it out of disrespect to you or your relationship, but simply because her best friend has been her go-to person for a long time. They share all of the interesting, funny, and sad details of each other’s lives, so your girl’s best friend will most likely know nearly everything about your relationship. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing! Having one best friend means your girlfriend won’t be telling everyone else in her life about what’s going on between you two. She has her one confidant, and that’s all she needs.
You should know that your girlfriend is still going to make time for her best friend. Before there was a guy in the picture they probably spent almost all of their free time together. Of course the two of you are going to hangout plenty and go on awesome dates, but sometimes she’s going to need her best friend time. She’s going to miss sitting at home, not getting ready at all, and having Sex and the City marathons all day with her bestie. So don’t get upset when occasionally she chooses that over dinner and a movie with you. It’s important for her to have some time with her best friend because that’s what they’re used to. And don’t be too shocked if she’s constantly trying to hook your friends up with her bestie so you can all double date and she can spend time with her two favorite people at once.
Your girl and her best friend have probably been friends for quite a while, which means they are most likely very comfortable around each other. When you’re with the two of them, don’t be surprised if they act like complete weirdos. They have countless inside jokes and are used to acting goofy with each other, so expect a good time whenever they’re together. Your girlfriend is lucky to have someone that she can really be herself with, and if you can participate in their weirdness she’ll be thrilled that you’re okay with their quirky friendship.
If your girlfriend has one true best friend, it probably means she has high standards. She may not always be surrounded by people, but she knows what she values in those that she chooses to have in her life. This shouldn’t scare you away though. It just means that she cares a lot about those who are close to her and really appreciates close relationships. Her best friend shouldn’t scare you off either. Even though her best friend will always be protective, she will also always support your girlfriend’s decisions and try to make you feel like the third amigo.
If you’re dating a girl that has a real best friend, realize that this is a very important relationship to her and is a big part of her life. That doesn’t mean she won’t be a great girlfriend though. She probably isn’t involved in much drama since it’s usually just her and her bestie, she still needs her best friend time which will allow for you to have your bro time too, you’ll get to experience all the goofiness of their wonderful friendship, and she’ll be someone who knows how to have strong relationships. Having a girlfriend with one close friend might take some getting used to, but it sure will come with perks.
