You always know who's dropping you home at the end of the night.
2.
Your parents trust him more than they trust you.
3.
(They also secretly hope you'll end up together.)
4.
(And so do literally all your friends.)
5.
When someone's creeping on you, they automatically become your bodyguard.
6.
When you run into an ex, they magically transform into your fake boyfriend.
7.
And when you spot a hottie across the room, they become the best wingman of all time.
8.
And it goes without saying that you always return the favour.
9.
Your dude BFF is more protective of you than your brothers, dad, and boyfriend combined.
10.
You know a lot of weird facts about dudes because of him.
11.
His mom comes to you with all the girly gossip her son can't deal with.
12.
And she trusts you to get him to do the things she can't get him to do herself.
13.
You're solely responsible for each other's skyrocketing phone bills.
14.
He's the only person who gives you honest opinions – sometimes too honest – about how you look.
15.
You've gotten into trouble for hanging out with him too much because gossipy aunties and cops just don't understand.
16.
You want the best for him and you're happy when he's happy... But you hate every other woman in his life.
17.
And no matter how annoying he is, you can't imagine your life without him.
