01When You Can Say What You're Hungry For At The Count Of Three
There are moments when you and your BFF can finish each other's sentences. That's when you know you're on the same page. It happens anytime you and your bestie have to decide on where to eat.

02When You've Found The Right Nicknames
You can't just give each other meaningless nicknames. They have to develop naturally, and when they do, you know it's a special moment. That's when you finally find the S to your B like in Gossip Girl, or the P. Sawyer to your B. Davis from One Tree Hill.

Inside jokes happen with any close relationship, but between you and your best friend, you have millions. It's no wonder, because you share the same sense of humor. Therefore, you can spend hours just laughing. The best times are the instant new inside jokes are formed, and you know it's a created memory that will always make you smile.
04When You Realize You've Been Sitting Comfortably In Silence
A true test of friendship is when you're so comfortable with each other that you can do absolutely nothing together, and still have fun. I know I've found a bestie when I realize that we've been comfortably just hanging for a while, and we're OK with the silence. Of course, it's not long before we're gabbing endlessly, but we don't feel a need to fill every moment with sound.

When you're with your best friend, time moves differently. You can talk about anything and everything. Then, you look at the clock and realize you've been on the phone for hours. It's true what they say — time flies when you're having fun.
06Whenever You Can Be Completely Honest And Share Secrets
You know you've found a bestie for life when you trust them enough to tell all your secrets. You don't even hesitate before opening up. You just know you can trust them.
07Whenever You Have Those Late-Night Conversations
Some of the best talks with your bestie are late at night when you're either at a diner or just hanging out on the couch. You get into your fears, your dreams, and even philosophies on life. It's those deep convos that bring you closer together and make your relationship unique.
08When You Can Look At Each Other And Know What The Other Is Thinking
I love the times when I can look at my best friend from across the room, give her a look, and she knows exactly what I'm thinking. That's when I know that we're not only on the same page, but she gets me. It's such a special moment between besties that you almost start believing in telepathy.
