One of the best feelings in the world is making a new friend. As you get older, it can get harder and harder to do, as people lock into their long-held relationships and are less open to new BFFs. But meeting someone you're excited about hanging out with is a rare and beautiful thing. Having a friend crush can be almost as intense as having a romantic crush. You scheme your next hangs, labor over texts, and hope it's mutual. Friend crushes are also usually more sustainable than romantic ones, as they're less likely to go wrong quickly.

I'm always chasing that feeling of talking to a new person and knowing they just… get it. You don't have to explain yourself at every turn, and they're intuitively picking up what you're putting down. Like these memes, that need no explanation. I hope you develop a friend crush on them.
