How long have you had your "oldest" friend or pal?

Wow hockey :) You're so lucky and blessed to have those friends! I think it's rare nowadays to have friends who last longer 'till your late years co'z it's really hard to trust someone. Plus, things changes around us and it's hard to cope with the friendship considering some other factors like priorities at work and family. Unlike you, I only have few close friends but a lot of acquaintances. The longest friend I have is 10 years but my very close friend as of now is already my friend for 5 years. I'm not really sure if we can keep the friendship for longer years because nowadays things are different than when we were in school. We live two hours away from each other so that's another factor affecting our communication. We only communicate through text messages and it's rare that we meet co'z we still have to consider our schedule. Hmmm.. anyway, just wanna ask.. what's your secret for having long friends?? would love to have more close friends too..

hockeygal4ever My oldest friend has been my best friend for twenty five years or so.We met when she and her son moved into our apartmentcomplex way back there. Our two sons were already friends and both were computer nerds so to speak, they called them selves that. Nelda and I found out we were both diabetics and also we were both born in November. We have enjoyed each other for so long, and she has been my savior here at this tiresome retirement center. she emails me each working day and I return the favor. she helps me get to the bank when need be, and we just love to talk to each other, we enjoy each other's company so much. she is just a jewel to have as a best friend.

I just re-connected with an old neighbour of mine, on Facebook. I grew up with the girl. I was born in 1982, and she was born in 1981, so that would have to be 28-29 years. LOL

I am almost 50 and have been bffs with my bff since we were 7. We still keep in touch by phone and sometimes by email.

About thirty years. I met her in college and we just hit it off - as friends. We haven't seen each other for awhile, but we keep in touch by e-mail and occasionally by phone. In 2006 we went to see Bob Seger, which we always did back in the eightys. I do have a girlfriend who we bought a house with. And she said she is one of those people that does not believe males and females can be just friends but me and her are a rare exception.

My oldest friends (best friends) are from 12 years ago. Today i`m 19 we were 7 years old when we met and we are still friends and everything is like it was at the begining i know that i can call them at 3 at the morning and to ask them to come to me and they will do it. I hope that we will be friends forever. :)

I met 2 of my longest friendshiped friends when I was 13 ... so ... lemme do the math here ... almost 22 years! I recently had a falling out with one of them, but I still have the other one and another best friend I have had for about 15 years or so give or take a year!
