When I know we both can rely on each other also when i enjoy his company but that’s secondary to me

a small relatable conversation is enough to refer to someone as a friend
it's familiarity
not everyone is a close friend or lifetime friend

it could be
it mainly depends how warm and friendly the other person
and the conversation is
if it's more like a small chat, kinda distant it's just an acquaintance

Most of the time you just know and especially if we’ve been hanging out for a while when you can rely on each other for things when you ask each other for advice, I think that’s when I can consider someone my best friend
