10 Signs You're Crushing On Your Best Friend | LGBT Advice 

Me: **stares at her all the time, draws her all the time, sits next to her all the time, dreams about her, thinks about her all the time** Also me: yeah this seems platonic

I have a hugeee crush on this girl and watched this video to try to convince myself I don’t like her… definitely didn’t work 😭 Anywaysss, great video as always

It took me getting romantic dreams about my friend to realise I had a crush on her, and also that I apparently like women as well as men 😅

Me as a kid, to some other girl who I just REALLY WANTED TO BE BESTIES WITH: "Wouldn't it be cool if scientists figured out a way we could make babies without any men involved, so we could just have one together and raise it together on our future ranch for rescue horses?" Her: *Says nothing as she backs away from me

I get a weird feeling in my stomach when I think about her but I also get it when I’m anxious so I’m really not sure

Bro, I had my entire life planned out with this girl. AND WE ARE ACTUALLY GOING TO LIVE TOGETHER. But I still can't admit to myself that I like her. Cuz it might ruin things if she doesn't feel the same way. 😅

thankss lauren! crushing on best friends is hard, but, hey, we all go through it at some point ...😂 this is funny timing because just this week i found out she likes me!!

I've had this crush on my best friend ever since I was the "new student" in my school, she took me on a tour around the school and honestly I didn't even pay attention I just kept looking at her and I've felt something I've never felt before. After the tour I asked her to be my friend and she said "yes" after that we started hanging out all the time, and honestly I just kept feeling weirder and weirder as the day went by. Didn't pay attention to it, said goodbye to her cause it was time to go home. When I got home, my older sister noticed me blushing, so she asked "What's wrong with you? Do you have a crush?" I just got completely quiet and ran upstairs. When I entered my room, I asked myself "What the hell is wrong with me... Why do I feel like this?" 2 minutes later, my mom came and told me that we had guests. Surprise surprise. It was her and her parents, turns out my parents and her parents were college friends. At dinner, I couldn't stop thinking about her, I was so nervous that I started shaking. She looked at me and asked if I was ok, I said yes. But, I knew I was lying, I got up and went outside, leaving everyone speechless and worried. She came after me and asked me if I was okay, I couldn't answer her because I was focused on her eyes.

Well... I checked all the list 😅 I knew that but it confirmed, thanks Lauren ☺ Anyway, as advice for anyone who still needs to figure it out, I'd say that you can say that you love someone when ♥ : - You always think about them - You smile for no reason when you see them/think of them - You feel empty without them (specific but it could happen if you can't see them anymore) Hope I helped someone :)

I definitely could’ve used this list at 15/16 😅 but noooooo I didn’t like her I just REALLY wanted to be BEST FRIENDS FOREVER that’s all 👀👀👀

Watching this video as an aro/ace person trying to write fanfiction where two best friends fall for each other lmao

WHAT ARE MORE SIGNS YOU LIKE SOMEONE? Leave them below, it might help another baby gay/they realise they’re crushing on their bff / another girl 💗 😅 P.S if you find out you like her and she's straight, watch how to get over a straight girl next: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OwTah7ImsyM.html

Bro where was this when I needed it two years ago 😭😭 (No but fr, I watched it and it confirmed what I already knew, I definitely liked her. I still do, the only difference is she likes me back and we’ve been dating for nearly a year)

1 - 5 YES! 7 & 9 YES! I Already knew I liked her more than a friend this just confirmed it.

Not me before the video trying to convince myself I don't have a crush on my best friend 💀. I do.

I been crushing hard on her for 2 years....she has a huge crush on one girl.... I literally had a dream of that girl stealing her from me And i was sooooo Jealous....lol...but I just can't get over her 😭😭😭😭

Omg... You described exactly how I feel about my friend right now. I'm thinking of confessing soon. Thank you for this

Thank you Lauren. I appreciate you for helping me clear up a lot of things about my friend!

the other signs i was like “ok” or “no” but the living together and questioning what she is really got me this made me realize i have never questioned what my other friends are

Amazing video and so true! I totally check off almost everything here! I like this girl who I'm friends with but not close friends so like I don't know her really well but we're in the same class. I find that any lesson where she's not there I'm super bummed and just can't seem to focus. And I have recently realised that I have picked up some of her habits like how she plays with her pencil or how she sits or carries her bag, or just fiddles with stuff. Oh, and if you're inordinately happy about her just looking at you and smiling, well... Yeah :)

I had this huge crush on a girl (still getting over her haha) and I literally did everything on this list. The biggest two I can remember are when she said that she was in love with Edward Cullen from Twilight I got super angry and was like “what does he have that I don’t?! I’m super pale, I wear glitter, I hate the sun! I’m basically a vampire!!” It was crazy. I still kinda resent him for it. The second one was when she was watching a video from a girl who did a cover of a Taylor Swift song. She said it was beautiful and that she had such a lovely voice. I though “we’ll, I’m a singer. I can sing this” so I learned that song just to impress her. I don’t think I ever sang it in front of her, but it all worked out because now it’s my comfort song. Lol.

Thank you so much, amazing video as always! This was definitely super helpful and confirmed for me that I literally have the biggest crush and I surprised myself by how many of those things I've found myself doing lol I absolutely love your videos, your space of the internet feels so safe and as someone who is only really at the beginning of their journey and has found themselves confused, I can't tell you how much I appreciate and value that xx

Like literally most of them is me. Also some other things i noticed is that suddenly you for example look out of window and see that part of town when she lives and start to wonder what is she doing. U see/hear something she likes and you think of her. Things that never had much meaning to you remind you of her. And also i always replay all moments we were together. If that was singing by the river on scout camp or just how she shared her pencils with me it makes you feel better. You feel better always you think of good memories with her.

Thanks! I really need it! Amazing video 😅

I found the hard way, I always thought I might like her but then we fell out because I pushed her away scared of what I was feeling for her but it gets worse cuz it’s been nearly 2 years and I’m still not completely over it. The degree in which I miss her shows how much I liked her.

this video will definitely come in handy!!

This is my first video I've seen from you, a boy you outed me soooo bad. But thank you. You helped me realise some feelings I have. Definitely subscribing now.

Thank you so much for this video! I really needed this. I'm pretty sure I do have a crush on her now

Like getting a nervous feeling around them because you like them

Hey future me, if you ever come back to this video, just remember that 13 year old you struggled with this too. I’m sure I’ll get over *her* someday, I’m sure you will too. Keep holding on solider 🫡

great summary of signs! Hope you helped some of your viewers to realize and admit it.

*Okay I had this crush on a girl She didn't accept my request, though we are good friends, so I check her profile once in a while (open profile). *For some 2 or so years we always hung out together in school. I liked being around her *There was these little butterflies and tingles when she randomly hugs me. I act like I hate it, but will turn red *Yeah I like to spend a lot of time alone with her. *I hope she always liked me, which is hard to tell because now it feels like she just wanted me to kill boredom 🥲 *She loves watching series, soI started watching the same. *I always dream in my sleep that I am with her and parents are accepting and shit. Like holding hands etc . *Oh yes, I have thought many times that she is bi. Turns out she is completely straight like all other crushes of mine. And I called her bf ugly, and cried on my way home. That's it. Yet another heart broken by straight girls. 🗿❤️

I have had a crush on her for 2 years

Okay. We had a work event thing once, and I wasn't going to go, because I only have a few friends at work, and at the time I was pretty sure most of my store's crew didn't like me, but I saw that the girl I liked was going.... so I went. And then a few of the other girls and I went and collected rocks on the beach.... Long story short, I said maybe 4 words on the trip, then gave her a rock. My best friend called me a penguin. 😄

Crush will always be your puppy love! How Sweet!

I'll be coming back to this video multiple times I'm sure haha thanks

Thanks you a lot, even if I am in so far away, in France. It help me a lot !

I guiltily for all of these! And when she got a crush I was wishing I was in his spot

This was all i needed thanks:) And oh shit i guess i actually have a crush on her😳

1. 1/2 2. ✅ 3. ✅ 4. ❌ 5. 1/2 6. ❌ 7. ❌ 8. ✅✅ 9. ✅✅ 10. ✅✅ I am a bi guy and have a crush on my straight best friend. Yeah I definitely crushing on him.

lovely RU-vidrrrr🔥❤

What if someone is like constantly dreaming of her future girlfriend like all the time , but also never really knowing her future girlfriend..???

I thought I didn't have a crush on my friend, but I did some (most) of that things 🙈

Thanks for this I think I might like her.also my mom just walked in and I’m closeted and stuff so I was oh dang I have to hide this lol 😅😂

My best friend and me thought of adopting 3 kids together and this is checking them all off

Thanks!

My crush is literally so cuteeeeee, she’s so kind and funny and she’s interested in the things I am and we make paper dragons together 😊

DUDE there was this one time my dad gave my friend a ride and i was so happy that i just couldn't stop giggling. I'm cringing so hard, i definitely had a crush on her 💀

Oh yeah bro i checked off all of those, i definitely like her, tried to deny it at first but man

So my first ever crush was my best friend and when I asked her opinion on dating girls she said she wouldn’t. And I litterly cried.

I literally relate to everything you just said but I don’t know how to tell her😫😫😫

You should make one to see if someone is gay💯 Cuz we all need that superpower

I think another sign is if u both already know ur gay- and like always say that if u end up alone u be alone together because u actually making a point to both of u to stay together (i'm guilty TwT)

the words that came out of my mouth when i finished were litterely: 7 OUT OF FUCKING 9?! 7 OUT OF FUCKING 9?!!!!!!!!! AM I GAY? HOLY SHIT I LIKE _____ HOLYYYYYYY SHIT

1. I had a great memory for everything related to her. I could remember her dog's age and disease, her siblings' birthdays, each and every minor detail of every time we 've spent together (one thing she forgot to bring etc) and of any point of her life too. And I got so disappointed when she didn't remember details about me. 2. Every moment I felt whe was in a tiny place at the edge of my mind, even when I was stressed out with studying for university ( to be honest, her thought was the motive to continue studying) and I associated random things with her constantly. I mean, the synapses in my brain containing info about her were so many and so enhanced😂. 3. When she got into the room I was, my whole focus was completely on her, to a point where I felt like I didn't see other people around, and obviously I didn't pay attention to what they were saying to me at that moment (I suppose I was pretty obvious ah😂). 4. Of course dreaming about her. I even had dreams of feeling again her touch😍 5. I wrote poems for her all the time ok😂 6. Her touch electrified me, making me paradoxically so at ease and confident, and at the same time so damn happy for existing in this world 7. I felt that at last I had a purpose and a meaning in my life from the moment I fell in love with her❤

there is this one person in my life i just keep returning to... and like we never dated but it was always either "i think i like her" or "we dont really talk as much now". the only time i was able to think about her only as a friend and nothing more was around 3 years ago when we first met and literally had just been friends for like 4 months at that point. and i usually know when i'm having a crush this one has just happened twice now, almost 2 years apart and her kinda coming out to me recently did not help me forget this shit at all. sorry for the rant but i can't tell this to any of my friends bc i don't want to cause any drama, like i'm still not even sure how i'm feeling and as for the others... yk straight friends cant really say anything to this shit. i have been in panic mode for the last 2 weeks bc she DEFINITELY doesn't like me and i'm scared i'll somehow fuck this up

Hey I need some advice though….I had a huge crush on my bff and really adored her so much. Sometimes I felt that spark but my friend doesn’t have social media since we are still young. I’m not sure if I actually like her more than a best friend or if I just love her so much as a friend, since I daydream about having we as a girlfriend sometimes but sometimes I just feel like I can’t see what the difference between living her as a friend and liking her as a crush. Sorry if this is complicated…

Trust me, I know I like her, but does she feel the same... that is the question 👀. She's this tall brunette with tattoos & a smile that could melt the entire Arctic circle. She pulled me for a dance last week & the eye contact & how she leaned in to whisper in my ear bc it was too loud... 😬omg I'm in trouble aren't I?

The funny thing is that I fell in love with my gay friend (who is a girl) just a couple of weeks after she said she has a crush on her another friend (who is also a girl and who I don’t know). I realised I like her yesterday and now I have to wait until she will say her crush about her love to see if I have chance.

Brooo the thing that sucks is it’s always so obvious when I like someone. One time my friend told me “ it really obvious you like her” so I said “how obvious” and he said “Amity obvious” I was like F*CK! (If you haven’t seen The Owl House then I just act REALLY different around her)

I think I'm ace because I only seem to have crushes on people after being close friends with them for a while. I currently have a crush on my friend, we text every single day and I really want to tell them but I don't want to ruin our relationship

Omg thank you so much, I have a crush on my bisexual best friend and well I had to watch this to convince myself that I don't js favourite her..

“Checking their socials” me literally on their IG right now

Im pretty sure I have a crush on my best friend and we both flirt as jokes but she likes someone else i think (another girl) . She knows I have a lil crush on her but idk im not ready for a relationship yet lol. Whenever we are near eachother i have a strong urge to hug her

I don't wanna have a crush after all I've been through and I'm crushing on someone pretty easily first time Im meeting you nooooo it always has to be a crush and then im getting sooo many rejections but nooo I still want her

Definitely have a huge crush, but how am I ever going to tell her???😫 she’s also bisexual and just sometimes we stare each other in the eyes and she’s really comfortable with that. In about 2 weeks we will share a room on a school trip for like a week. GIVE ME TIPS PLEASE. I dreamed about us getting together, hope it’s a sign😂

I don't tick off loads of these but it's all quite new to me I think I've messed something up as there's this inside joke in our group that we were together and I also have a rep for making... interestingly physical jokes about me, her and my other friends all in all I'm still a bit confused

Hey! I started watching this video just because i love your videos but at the end of it i was wondering… I think i have a crush on her…

Hi Lauren 👋🏻🏳️‍🌈❤️🥰

I wish your best friend had watched this and went... wAiT a MiNuTe....

Ty I have a crush on my bff she is so nice and bis so maybe but she is so pretty I always call her like always she so pretty I have been showing some signs so I scared so yea but she has a crush on a boy but I think she has one on me

Thank you so much for this. But I'm in a situation. There's this girl at work I feel is interested in me, she randomly came to me & wished me "Happy Rose Day", also she was wearing a top which had roses on it. And I asked if she wore it specially for rose day, she got so shy she ran away. Later she comes to talk to me, keeps looking at me, gets super shy & sometimes nervous to talk to me. Do you think I should ask her out? Although I did ask her why does she gets so shy while talking or being around me, and she said that's not the case. I'm a bit confused if I should as we're coworkers & I don't wanna jeopardize the relationship if she's just being nice to me. Please help. 😊

So I have a crush on a my best friend in school. She told us so yeah I am hundred percent straight and also I helped to come together with a boyfriend and also to break up with him and listen to her problems about a new crush but I also have a crush on him and I don’t know what to do because I don’t want to ruin our friendship.

haha! you are funny!

i just needed to read the chapter names to know im crushing on my friend

I’m so scared to tell her i like her. She hugs me every morning and stuff and I asked her if she can maybe hold my hand and she did and IDK I JSUT DONT KNOWW

I just got a gf today and I tested if I like her and she doesn't have any socials that I know of and we can't really hang out together bc idk her address but now I do, but I got 6

I remember as a child being obsessed with my best friend but I didn’t realize I had a crush on her until I realized gay people were a thing and I instantly thought of her. 😂

So now i cant procrastinate about the fact i got a crush on my girl bestie 😃👍 im not sure if i should shoot my shot or not she is lesbian so ya never know. . . ❤

Not me relating to all the signs here

Ok but I have a question, what if I think I like someone but then think of actually holding them or dating them I cringe and go “you know what never mind”

Dating her 😁

Me : *started reading f-ing Heartstopper for them heart sparks every time I even think of them think of them as my only safe person want to also be around them and want to still know them better then anyone in 20 years time* I’m straight and this is just best friend love. Right?

damn I sometimes can't tell if I'm just really attached to my best friend (she's straight btw) cause she's the closest friend I have who consistently is there for me and supports me emotionally or if I uh...might have a crush on her. once last year before I had my first kiss (which ended up being with a guy, cause I'm bi), I almost kissed her cause I was just so thirsty, desperate and really wanted someone's lips on mine and she was just there! before that, she let me kiss her on her cheek and it lowkey gave me butterflies. and plus I've asked for us to hold hands, cuddle, have tight hugs, etc. but she's not as physically affectionate as me so it hurts to be rejected in that sense when she says no or doesn't reciprocate the same energy. I'm just so confused dawg, I feel like I lowkey sound gay as hell whenever I talk about her anyway 💀 and I just wanna get my feelings sorted out, about her and my sexuality in general since I still question it from time to time

i‘m waaaay to nervous to flirt, after she says something, i answer and 2 seconds later i regret it so hard bc my answer was too boring and cringe 😭

u just convinced me i like my bff oops :(

I know I love my bestfriend but she is straight and she knows but that’s just how it is now she says she takes me like her literal sister but yeah she’s not very cuddly but yeah I just love how and I know she cares about me but she never will in *THAT* way

Hi my name is lisa i loveyour videos 🏳️‍🌈😍😍

I’m a guy and I have a MASSIVE crush on my only guy friend but I’m too scared to tell him😢

I reallly like my best friend but I think she’s straight. I really want to tell her how I feel but I don’t know what to do

Have a crush on my bff hope this helps

Damn, damn, I SHOULD HAVE WATCHED THAT 4 MONTHS AGO, she now has a boyfriend, but she also liked me then, and I just wasnt sure and didn’t want to hurt her… I‘m over it now, but It‘s still like „why the fuck didn’t I know??“

I have these two friends (both girls) one of them is bisexual and lesbian. So the one whos bisexual who in gonna call willow, i knew her since 3rd grade and NEVER thought i would like her. My other friend who ill call Phoebe i met in late 4th-5th grade. I wasn't aware of me being a lesbian until a recent incident. We were outside and they said that they think they like each other and i had this feeling where i all of a sudden wasn't comfortable. I thought about that for the rest of the day snd still do. I dont know if i like both of them or just one of them. I keep saying they like each other but then they deny it and willow all of a sudden wanted a lot more hugs and i did too. I dont know how to feel since im afraid that they like each other and neither of them like me. I watched this to try and convince myself i didn't like them and im just overreacting . Didnt work.

thanks lauren you helped me i have a crush on my bff and i like to play with boys and everyone in my class know that i play with boys and they everytime say i am a girl and i say just stop and go to the boys

My best advice is if you’re questioning it you probably have a crush on them?

i am not ok maybe i am

My friend I think I was crushing on came out as aromatic . . .

My heart:you would be such a cute couple My brain:NÆÆR...shes not GAY>:(((((
