Being friends with guys is equal parts awesome and confusing. On one hand, you’re happy to have a go-to lab partner, a built-in gym buddy and a fellow ham ‘n’ pineapple pizza aficionado. But when things veer into flirty territory, you’re left wondering if feelings run deeper. Answer these Q’s to reveal what’s beneath the surface of your boy bestie status.
1. You peek at your phone to find a standard text from him. What does it say?
A. “Have a great day!” An extra-long chem experiment left you two without your usual lunchtime catch-up.
B. “Congrats!” Whether you aced your French presentation or finally found your lost math submission, he’s always up to date on your latest triumphs.
C. “Anyone going to Sammy’s on Friday?” OK, it’s a group text to your whole squad, but still.
D. “What’s the HW?” Shrug emoji. Forgetting assignments is kinda his thing.
2. Spotted: the two of you, hanging out. Where are you headed?
A. A bookstore. He’s always up for helping you browse for your next mystery read.
B. The juice shop. You got him hooked on their açai bowls.
C. The library. You’re going to prep for the upcoming modern world history quiz.
D. Home from school. You both take the same route, so it makes sense to walk and talk.
3. You’re completely crushing on someone else. Do you let him know about it?
A. Tbh, you can’t even imagine spilling your secret. Plus, who else could you ever find who loves Marvel, who and Premier League as much as you do?
