You all may be asking yourselves: what exactly is a “girl-mance?” Well, it’s basically the girl version of a “bromance,” a.k.a a friendship that is so epic, it deserves a name more impressive than “best friends.” If you and your best friend aren’t sure if your friendship is awesome enough to be deemed worthy of a girlmance, read below to find out!
1. You have had more profile pictures together than with any of your other friends. Seriously. It gets to a point where people think there’s something wrong if your best friend isn’t in your newest profile picture.
2. Most of your tweets on Twitter are about each other. You two are known for starting playful twitter wars or just tweeting at each other for no specific reason. You’re just bored. #TeamGirlmance
3. You are a package deal wherever you go. Where one of you goes, the other is not far behind. You’re like a dynamic duo that can’t be beat.
4. You have designated looks to communicate with each other when speaking is not an option. Subtle glances at each other while talking to someone you both don’t like, eyebrow raises indicating if your crush is about to walk by: you know each other so well that you can literally tell what the other is saying with just an eye roll or smirk from across the room.
5. You have nicknames for each other that none of your other friends are allowed to call you. It’s not that you tell your other friends they can’t call you that name, too—they just know in the back of their minds that it’s probably not a good idea.
6. You already have the title of each other’s maid of honor. This should be a no-brainer if the girlmance game is strong.
7. You’re not afraid to tell it like it is with each other. You know you can confide in each other when it comes to giving advice about boy drama, toxic relationships, etc. You two always tell each other the truth and have each other’s backs… no matter what.
8. You know each other’s “good side” when taking pictures. You get to a point where you don’t even have to ask anymore, you just situate yourselves accordingly in order to get the best photos possible.
9. You get mad at each other and argue like sisters occasionally. Even when this happens (because let’s face it, even best friends fight) you two know, no matter what, that your girlmance is solid, unbreakable.
10. You two have your own choreographed dance. It doesn’t matter if you made it up spontaneously on the dance floor, or if you guys actually spent hours choreographing, when you and your best friend’s favorite song comes on, you guys are already on the dance floor, quickly becoming the center of attention with your in-sync moves.
If you and your best friend have a girlmance, congratulations! You’ve found your maid of honor, partner-in-crime, and sister. A girlmance is hard to find, so if you’ve got one, be thankful. And if you and your girlmancer are reading this, give each other a fist bump. Kudos for a larger-than-life friendship, you guys keep doing you.
