They should be my best friend but analyze: is that necessary? Map relationship: romantic chemistry, life partnership, friendship. Calculate: romantic connection vs. friendship vs. what's actually needed. Show me the best friend myth: partner doesn't have to be best friend. Give me the reality: we need this level of friendship, we don't need to be besties. Include: whether lack of friendship means incompatibility, what level of friendship is needed, and if I'm expecting too much.
