That鈥檚 actually a good question 馃え
Do you call each other names that would make a stranger think that you hate each other? Do you do things for each other? Do you share secrets? Do you share stories?
Acquaintances will know the surface you friends will know the real you.
Oh this, Yeah, i got a bestie, we do insult each other in a friendly manner, he鈥檚 the best person i met in my entire life.
Nowadays he found other friends to play with and i personally feel like i mosrly lost him, it makes me sad. 鈽癸笍
Reach out
I just ask. Friends don鈥檛 mind, and it鈥檚 a good moment to tell them you appreciate them as a friend.
That鈥檚 the kind of question where almost everyone will give you the same answer.
A friend will say you鈥檙e friends, because you are.
Non-friends will say you鈥檙e friends; because either they want to take advantage, or don鈥檛 want to offend.People tend to answer honestly in my experience. Those who lied and became friends after a while, that鈥檚 just a friend gained.
As for taking advantage, I guess that depends on the person. I鈥檓 not particularly vulnerable, as I set the same standards for friends and strangers.

I don鈥檛 have friends
I have acquaintances that I have known for years.
If I like someone, I call them a friend. They are now my friend regaurdless of whether i am theirs.
asocial relationships have entered the chat
I just ask for a hug. If they willing give it they鈥檙e my friend now.
