Does he or she think that he is your bestfriend?

Do you have to agree to each other that you are best friends so that they will consider you as friends? Most of us have friends that we go along with often but most of the time we never tell them that he or she is our best friend. My question is, do you have to tell him or her that he is your best friend or he or she should tell you that you are his or her best friend?

I think you should at least define clearly who are your best friends from your close friends. I actually got mad once on one of my friends because she kept from me a secret. Then i said I thought you were my bestfriend and she replied no you're not you can never be, because I only have two of them. I was really hurt and mad at what she said. She said to me that I'll always be her close friend but that wasn't enough and I haven't talked to her for almost half a year. Right now we're still good friends and we have already resolved this issue between us. So I think that people should actually make it clear their relationship with others if they are best friends or just close friends.

So does that mean that you must ask your friend if he or she treats you as his or her bestfriend?

What I'm saying is that relationships between people should be clear just to avoid confusion.

I 'm been a best friend of one before. But I think I 'm not now, as times goes by, we are sperated and we don't contact to each other for a very long time. Now we are begin to get contact to each other , but we still can't be like as before. We are have our own family and work very hard don't have much time, and each all have each own friend now.

So would that make you then best friends if distance and time separates you? I hope it wont happen to us.

I think being someone's best friend is up to them, and someone else being your best friend is up to you. For example, when I was in high school, there was a girl I was friends with and the more we spoke, the more I felt she was my best friend, but I soon realized, I was not her best friend. I was a bit hurt, but I also knew my friend and her best friend knew each other longer and were closer. Basically, just because you feel really close to someone doesn't mean they feel the same way about you. I don't know about telling the person. I guess it can be a nice moment if you tell the person they are your best friend and they say the same thing. But it could also be quite awkward if they say you aren't their best friend.
