The Most Important Thing You Need In A Best Friend, According To Your Sign
Everybody wants a best friend: someone who's the Ann Perkins to your Leslie Knope, the Blair to your Serena, or the Miranda to your Lizzie. If you have one, you probably cherish them more than anything in the world. Your best friend means more to you than any romantic interest ever could. They're just as excited as you are when you're falling in love. They're also standing by your side when your heart breaks. As meaningful as the relationship between best friends may be, it's not always easy to find one. Not everyone meets them in kindergarten, remaining inseparable for life. Out of all the billions of people in the world, very few are best friend material. Knowing what you need in a best friend, according to your zodiac sign, will help you understand who you should be looking for.

We work so hard to establish a friendship with someone who's wrong for us that we end up missing out on people we're actually meant to form a bond with. Knowing what personality traits you click with can help you find the best friend of your dreams. Trust me, they're looking for you, too.
