Re: Do you have a best friend?
DE IVF #1= 04/11 - BFP
My husband.
Seriously. We were best friends for years before we started dating, and that hasn't changed since we got engaged, and then got married. He is my #1 best friend and always will be.
Other than him, not really. I have several girl friends where I am "one of" their best friends, and they are "one of" my best friends. But no one other than my husband where they are my one and only best friend. I have 3 women and one man that I would consider my best friends other than Steve. We have a lot of close friends outside of that group, but those are the people that are most important in my life.

other than cliff no.
i have some close friend but no real BFF
I don't have a single That One Person is My Best Friend, so maybe not? But I consider my husband, my Mom, and my two closest girlfriends to all be my best friends.
One girlfriend I've known for over 10 years, she's been through a lot with me, and though she lives across the country, we talk often and I know that I can count on her friendship. The other girlfriend I've known for about 6 years, but we've been really close for about 5 years. Our husbands work together and are friends, we lived in the same neighborhood for a couple of years, our daughters are 2 years apart in age and we talk almost daily. I'm godmother to her son. She and her husband were both in our wedding. Our lives are pretty well intertwined - we do a lot together.
Yes! I call her my bestie all the time as well. We met in college and she actually didn't like me at first because I had the audacity to date her friend's ex-boyfriend. Flash forward two years when we were sorority together and became joined at the hip!
It's hard not seeing each other all the time and I'm terrible at talking on the phone. She calls me much more than I call her, but thankfully we email quite often. I'm excited because we're running the Philly Marathon together and it's turning into a girl's weekend.
Oh, and DH is clearly my best friend

Kind of--not like I'm attached at the hip to one other person but I have a group of 4 other women and I have all been friends since 6th grade--one of them has been my friend since we were 7. We are all best friends with a slightly stronger bond between the two of us.
Then, my college roommate and I are super close.
I actually tell DH he's not my best friend. I think it's a totally different category that by definition cannot include someone you romantically love or get busy with.

Yes, we met just after college 13 years ago and were roommates for 5 years before she got married. Other than my husband, she's the person I can talk to about anything without fear of being judged. She's also the person I have had some really crazy fun times with.
No... I don't feel like I really have any friends anymore. It's kind of sad actually.
However, I am VERY close with my mom and my sister.
I do not have a best friend, in that I don't have one specific person who is my bestie.
I do have a lot of really close friends though.
My Goodness...another food blog. Featuring: Macarons from a old post with a photo taken by my mom for a break from my crappy food photos!
Nope.
Although I do have two very close friends who know me pretty well, but they both live out of state.
I do consider my aunt my best friend. Though I haven't seen her in a while. She and my brother got into an altercation a while back and I just dont want to get dragged into it. It's sad really. I miss her.
And I have my BF from HS. She and I have reconnected and are pretty close. She has an older son so her life is in a different place right now but I know that if I needed anything she'd be right there. Same goes for me, that I'd be right there for her. And Lordy I hope she knows that!
I don't have a best friend, but a lot of friends who I consider to be very close friends. They have become close through different stages of my life (childhood, college, work, etc.) so when we are at a gathering where everyone is together, it feels like a case of "worlds colliding" which can be stressful sometimes. DH's friends are the same ones he's had since college so when we hang out with that crowd, everyone knows each other and each other's history.
Ultimately I consider DH my best friend though, and I am his.
To answer my own question - I have 2 very close friends that I have knowns for ~25 years. I am close w/ both, but a little closer w/ one and I would consider her my best friend. We actually don't see each other that much, even though we live 30 minutes from each other, but w/ work, kids, etc. its hard to find time that works for both of us. However, when do GTG and have a chance to catch up, its sort of funny, b/c its like we have to download each other on our updates and then get into the nitty gritty of stuff.
Yes. I have my bff since I was 2y/o. We had about a 5 yr stint where we didn't talk/see each other because we were in different places in our life. We have reconnected and we are both beyond thrilled of where life has brought us. My other one is someone who I haven't known for years. However, we have an incredible relationship. Her husband often jokes that he's going to come home and there will be a picture of me hanging above their bed. It's hard to put into words what this person means to me and how our relationship has developed.
I also have others who I consider very close friends and trust whole heartedly.
... every single day of forever.
I have two girlfriends I refer to as my best friend. One I've known since we were 10, but we became very close at about 13. We did everything together throughout middle school and high school, and at 17 when my dad got a job offer in Maryland, her family told me there was no way I was going and I was to live with them to finish high school.
We had about a 10 month period where we didn't talk much during college after a silly fight but realized quickly that wasn't going to last. She lived in Oklahoma, now Oregon, and is about to move back to Alaska and we've visited each other throughout that time and I really believe she'll always be my best friend. She's Clara's Godmother.
The other girl I met in 2005 at work. She's eight years older than me, has three kids and is a SAHM mom in Alaska, so we're not able to visit or catch up all that often, but she's one of those friends that when we are together it's like we've never been apart. We'd do anything for eachother.
I also think DH and my dad are my best friends but it's not the same as my girlfriends.
Yes - we became friends in high school. Drifted apart after college because the guy I was with at the time didn't like her (ridiculous) but now my wonderful husband loves hanging out with my bff, her hubby and their daughter. I am so thankful we became close again. We live an hour apart, but make an effort to stay in touch and typically see each other once or twice a month.
I also have several other very close friends but I make a very concerted effort to stay in touch! I work weekends so I will meet Baltimore area friends for their lunch hour from work frequently to catch up. One of my very close friends just moved into a house down the street from us, so she's easy to stay in touch with!
All of them refer to me as their best friend, too, but I know I'm not the only one that they say that about. So I suppose it's more of one of their closest friends.

No and it makes me sad actually. I have a few close girl friends but none that I see on a regular basis. All of the friends over the years that I considered my best friend I have drifted apart with or they turned out to not be the friend I want them to be.
Most of my college friends live out of state now and my husband is from Baltimore. He lost touch with a lot of them during college and since we live south of Annapolis, we don't see them as much as they see each other. He does play softball with them so he sees them more than I do.
