Do you have a "best friend"?

I don't really have many real life friends I can consider being "close" to, judging by the definitions of this as described above. Part of this reason is the nature of my work, moving around the country during certain periods, picking up new acquaintances and losing others, and of course the busy working hours. I hardly keep in contact with my old school friends (again I was moving around the country to firmly keep hold of several of them) but I did have about two or three university friends with whom I was very close, and who could cover for me in a crisis or whom I could talk to about things, share a drink, pop round to the house, etc.
However, at the moment I do have one or two (maybe three?) people I have met online whom I consider very close friends - people with whom I can talk my thoughts and feelings through in complete ease and confidence. I think they know who they are.
(And if they don't... hello there.
Why...hello
I did. We met each other in 2nd grade and remained friends for decades. We told each other everything. Then he ended up hanging with a gay guy and became gay and he doesn't talk to me anymore.
Heh, same thing happened to me! -xcept he decided to become straight.
Hmm.. best friend? That would be Ewa. We have known eachother for ages and I love her as a sister. Same deal though as with my actual twin sister can't like everything they do. There is not much I would not do for her, and I know she would do the same if I would ever let anyone help me.. *sheepish*.
I also have other girlfriends who I even though I only meet them once in a while, keep in my thoughts always and who i consider family. I have been rather bad at keeping contact though but they are always happy to let me in whenever I do come around.
As for best friend, soul mate.. I suppose my boyfriend comes real close. With benefits too.

She means that I do the dishes and cleaning of the house
He didn't "become" gay, he'd always been gay and it was only after meeting another gay guy was he able to accept his sexuality.
The most likely reason he doesn't talk to you anymore is because of your attitude towards gay people.
My best friend has been so for 35+ years.

My best friend is my wife, we've been married for 16 years now and our love grows stronger every day.
I have a best friend, though we haven't seen each other in quite a while. We've known each other for about 15 years. He lives about an hour east of Toronto, with his wife and two kids, whom he's taught to call me "Uncle".
There was a time about ten years ago, when we were playing bridge together at a club every Friday night, that our friends started calling me "Mike's second wife" and him "Lance's second husband." Sometimes I think it bothered my ex, even though he had his own best friend whom he spent even more time with.

I've never really had a best friend. I imagine that I will as I've been getting out a lot more than I used to. It'd have to be someone special, though. Not just a random person who I will crown as my best friend.
Moved around a lot when I was growing up..so I really only had one "best friend" who later became the best man at my first marriage, he later married a woman who became "formidable" and told him to never have any more contact with me again...
since I've been in the military, I've had several close friends but no more best friends except maybe my new wife ..I do miss my former best friend..yet despite several attempts to locate him, haven't had much luck..(His name is rather common...so every search attempt becomes an exercise in frustration as I always get hundreds of potential contacts)..besides..if he's still married to her..she wouldn't allow him to contact me anyway...

^ That's a shame. My husband has a friend I don't care for, but I made a vow to myself never to try to come between them because of it.
One of my sister's best friends cut off contact with us after her fiancé kept pushing her to. He was abusive, and she eventually got out of that relationship and we are friends again, but it was a very disturbing experience.

Yes, been so since probably the first grade. Always could use more though.
Friends come and go, even close ones. The ones I've had all my life are few and our involvement with each other fluctuates. Curiously my sisters I count as friends, but not brother. My husband is my best friend. Other than childhood, the time I made most long-lasting friendships was at university.
Yes, I have. I've got lot of buddies, some of those are quite close and a few that I would call true friends, but only she qualifies as best friend. She's the closest thing I have to a sister. I'm always quite amused that we are such good friends, given I'm a materialistic cold-hearted bastard with little patience for anyone and she's a fastidiously saccharine do-gooder with a martyr complex, but that's the way it is.
