pillow talk.

Would your guy friend make a good boyfriend?
Admit it, the idea has crossed your mind. But is he really BF material?

• He's tight with your friends: It might seem great to share the same crew - no awkward introduction or choosing who to hang out with. but in relationship, you'd zero privacy, and it might be impossible to make love decisions w/o everyone's input. Plus, a breakup could break your whole group.

• He flakes: Friendship doesnt have a lot of rules, so its no big deal if he forgets to text when he said he would, or if e peaces out at a party w/o saying goodbye. but if he's truly unreliable, he wont magically become  mr. dependable just bcz youre dating.

• He's your fun friend: He cracks you up and makes every nite out more fun. But if you've tried talk to him when you're freaking out about college apps or fighting with your parents and he doesn't want to engage in those personal convos, he might be better off as a surface-level friends.

• He's not too touchy-feely: Your buddy hugs you hello, drapes his arm around you or sometimes tries to tickle you until you scream. When the touchiness stops there - like he doesn't try to get you alone at parties..it says that he cares about you as a person, not as a hookup.

• You share a language: When you read his texts, can you practically hear his voice in your head? and when you're talking, does he usually get what you're tryin to say before you even finish your sentence? When you just get each other like that, it means you could connect on deeper level.

• He's honest with you: You know when you ask his opinion, he'll tell you your new sunglasses are ''kinda weird,'' or that your latest crush isn't interested. A guy who's not afraid to tell you the truth wont be fake to try to get you to like him - his straight talk is a sign he respects you.

IF, MOSTLY PINK COLOR:

NO! you guys know each other pretty well and have fun together, but there's not much chance things will go deeper. Perhaps, he hasn't already, so you guys didn't have initial spark. Its not like you could never date, But it would require starting from scratch - you'd have to get to know each other in a new light.

If, MOSTLY BLUE COLOR:

YES! Your friendship already has the traits that make a relationship great. I f you want to take next step, ask him id he wants to have a night out, just the two of you. It will give a chance to feel out your chemistry - and if it's not there, just call your other friends to join you.
