7 Concrete Signs They’re Not Just A Friend; They’re A Platonic Soulmate

Soulmates can come in so many forms. While we most often think of them in the sense of romantic love, you can also experience this with friends, too. A platonic soulmate has all the closeness and trust of a romantic soulmate without the complications of sexual attraction. Is your best friend your platonic soulmate? Here’s how you’ll know.

Your friendship is deeper than any other relationship you’ve ever had.

You’ve dated plenty of people over the years, but none of them felt as close or as deep as your friendship with your platonic soulmate. In fact, you were able to use your friendship as a way to measure closeness with romantic partners. If they didn’t even come close to what you and your friend have, maybe they weren’t the one.

They know you better than anyone else.

You know every little bit about each other, from how you got the scar on your eyebrow to what song you played on repeat during your first breakup. If you were playing the Newlywed Game, you’d win, hands down.

You don’t even need to ask for help–they just know.

While other people might have trouble reading your emotions, that’s not the case for your platonic soulmate. You could be hiding them so well, but as soon as your best friend sees you, they know exactly what’s wrong and, best of all, they know exactly how to make it better.

It’s almost like you have twin telepathy.

You know that vibe that twins have where they sense when something’s wrong with their twin? You and your platonic soulmate have that, too. Your connection is cosmic–otherworldly.

You can’t picture a future without them in it.

No matter what happens in the future, even if you find the love of your life and get married, all your plans still include your best friend. You plan to grow old with them, after all.

You know all of each other’s flaws and love each other anyway.

It’s not that either of you are perfect. No one is. But those things seem so inconsequential when it comes to your platonic soulmate. Their flaws are just the little bits of them that make up the whole unique picture.

The feelings are mutual.

While you may have times in your life when you’ll have a best friend, but you aren’t theirs (and vice versa), that’s not the case for a platonic soulmate. Soulmates need to be mutual, both of you having an intense feeling of connection that affects you for life.
