Regardless of whether or not you have a significant other, your best friend is the perfect candidate for a valentine. They don’t come with the confusion, and they won’t judge you for eating an entire pint of Ben & Jerry’s. In case you need some more convincing, here are 10 reasons your best friend should be your valentine.

So why not celebrate some best friend love on Valentine’s Day? Galentine’s Day anyone?!
2. They’ll know exactly what to get you for a gift
You won’t have to lie when you say, “I love this!”
