Is it normal that my female best friend and i act like we are together
We have been best friends for over a year, we are in high school. The entire time we have been friends, people have made little jokes about us liking each-other, but more recently, people have genuinely thought we are going out. We spend a lot of time together and alone too. Sometime we just sit by ourselves and I hold her.
Like I can see that in many ways there isn't much difference to how we are and how some couples in high school are. But the truth is I care about her so so much, and I know she cares about me. We both say that we love each-other all the time, we hug lots and really, are probably closer than any couple (except for physical stuff like kissing / sex) in our school.
A while back I almost got a girlfriend; the girl liked me and everything, but then I changed my mind when i realised that I actually preferred spending time with my best friend, and I almost felt like I was betraying her. I would've felt bad if I'd gone out with this other girl, cos the whole time I would've known it wasn't completely truthful.
Our closest friends all think that after school we will end up together. And truth be told I would be happy if that happened, because I never want to loose her. Never. The only way I can see that I won't loose her is that I am with her like that.
I trust her with everything, and she trusts me with everything.
Is this a normal situation for us to be in?
