Significant other = A person who compliments your personality extremely well (if not completely) and vice versa.
Friends are usually made out of mutual interests, which leads to the discovery of common values. How specific the interest is is usually a good indicator of how strong the resulting tie in the corresponding value will be. For instance, I would say 'drinking' is an extremely general interest, while writing existential poetry is much more specific and therefore capable of establishing a stronger and more meaningful connection.
Significant others have these strong connections in common, but the difference is that it is much more encompassing and on a much bigger scale. Encompassing in the sense that your core values and outlooks are complimentary to the point that even if the person you are with has an interest or hobby (which reflects these values) that you have no interest in personally, it is still one that you can understand, respect, and admire.
Friends have a lot more that they dislike about each other in general, to put it bluntly.

People are frustrated not having their voice of reason confirmed.
Everyone has that voice of reason that goes "This is bull, man, what I'm watching is bull" and yet, the media does not confirm it.
So after a while, people begin to think they're insane.
And that's the bummer about it, but that's why I love non-mainstream stuff because you actually hear honest emotions.
That's what you won't hear on mainstream TV, ever, is honest emotions. -Bill Hicks
