I don't have just one I class as my best friend, but of those I do I met one when we were young children and grew up in the same area, and the others I met at high school and college.

At work in the kitchen. It was his first day and I was asking him lots of questions and he was asking me about the office and the like

Eventually he said "so how long have you worked here?

and I said "I started yesterday"

we laughed and we have been laughing ever since

Yeah I would say I have two "best" friends, one of them I would have considered my BFF when I was in school but as the years went on I seem to be better friends with the other girl

Burnt starring Bradley Cooper?

I met mine in school but we've drifted apart in recent years so now I don't have a "best".

And I find the term "best mate" quite childish anyway. :idc:

Edit - Well, actually I had another who moved in around the corner and we're still in contact but not on the level of "best" anymore either.

I've got a few really, I met one when I was 1, I don't quite remember how that one started, but in a way I can't remember life without her.

Another one was at school, we'd been friends for about 3 years and then she joined my ict class then she couldn't get rid of me!

One of them I met in a virtual BB house, really odd how that happened, but we formed a real bond, I stay at his house for a week or so every now and again, people moan about how sad these games are, but I've made a friend for life from one!

Another I don't remember so x

I don't have a best friend but the person I was closest to throughout school, I met when I was three, I guess, then when I got depressed when I was 17, I blocked her out, along with everyone else, we still chat sometimes on Facebook though, it's not completely dead. :joker:

Same here. Depression wrecked some relationships.

One at school, the other was dating one of my other friends and I sort of fancied her myself but we ended up stabbing beyonce (ok I typed stanning so why autocorrect it to that?) and that kinda killed the attraction and started the friendship.

Probably talk more to some on here than those 2 now bc of moving away, work, etc

I actually met my oldest 'Best Friend' at school and we became Best Friends after I narrowly lost an after school punch-up with him :laugh: We do not live in each other's pocket, but have remained firm friends for decades and he visits 4 or 5 times a year.

Yes. back in 1990 - we started at the same company (advertising) I met all my best 4 pals there and we still go on holiday together every year to play golf (we first went 1991)

This was also the company that a girl said to me "Oh you must meet ex-Mrs LT as she likes football" and went and got her. When she brought her to my desk (:umm2:) I said what team do you support and she said Tottenham and I said :think: "oh I was told you liked football"


Golden banter that, pure gold bants


No wonder 1 month later I was riding her like a Blackpool donkey

I met my best friend through a guy I was friends with and she started going out with him. We didn't like each other at first at all...she was jealous of my friendship with her boyfriend and I didn't like her as she was a stranger lol. We had both arranged to meet the boy one day but he didn't turn up so we begrudgingly started talking to each other, she turned up at my house that night and barely left after that and now nearly 25 years on she is still the best friend I would ever want :love:

Got a couple, one lives across the road and I met him when I moved to where I live now when I was about 5 and the other moved in next door when I was about 8. All 3 of us have been close since.

Well my former best friend I met through school but only started speaking to her propped when we went on a school trip to a pantomime together in year nine. She's sort of ditched me atm though.

I'm recruiting another and I've got one firmly locked in my sights tbh we've always been close but we've got closer since the start of year eleven

I worked in a pub with my best mate, we were both mates with another girl and we had a few girlie hols. Eventually we kind of stopped hanging around with the mutual friends but we have been besties ever since which is about 25 years.

27 years ago I met my best friend at language school here in Denmark. We were both pregnant at the time. My son is six weeks older than her youngest daughter (she has 4) I love my best friend, we can talk about anything and even though she has moved to another country now, we email, phone, write and try to meet up at least once a year.
