Establishing whether or not you’ve entered the ‘Just Friends Zone’ is tough. But what about if you’re more than just friends? Here are some signs that show you you’re more than just friends:

1. You talk, all the time for long hours. Especially before bed time. Traditionally, this is very much a boyfriend/girlfriend thing to be doing.

2. Your friends are already referring to you as an item. You are hardly seen as an individual but one of a pair. In addition to referring to you as an item, your friends are constantly asking you when things will become official.

3. Hand holding and arm linking. Unless you’re in a country where it’s acceptable for friends to be doing this, hand holding and/or arm linking is an action performed between couples.

4. You have pet names for each other. I don’t think I need to explain this any further.

If these signs show up constantly in your relationship with your friend, it’s about time you have a talk with them.
