When I was 15, that was the time I had my 1st best friend.Actually she's my girlfriend but I also treat her like my best friend because I really never had one before because of my boastful attitude but when I've met her I really change a lot. I can tell her anything that is going in my mind and it's hard for me to lie to her because I treated her like she's part of my family and she really loves me so much and she also treated me as I'm her new best friend. That was really a very happy moment for us but now we already broke up, but it's okay because were still friends, just friends not best friends anymore. I know that we will forever cherish the special moments we have together.

I remember having my first "Best Friend" when I was 5-6 years old. We were inseparable and I told her everything. She moved when we were 14 and I can't really say that I have had a friendship quite like that one since. I do maintain friendships with most of my ex's and I do have a few really close friends, but I do not have anyone that I would consider my best friend.
I think it is important to be friends with the person you love and I am glad that the two of you experienced that. I am sorry that it didn't work out for you. I hope that you will be able to move forward and find that feeling with someone new.

It's really hard for me to find another girl to be love or to treat like my best friend because she is the only one that I really trust. She's my 1st love and my 1st best friend. I still really want her back to me.

I can tell you with confidence that in time it will get easier. Everything happens for a reason and if you two didn't work out there had to be a reason for it. If you really want her back then I suggest you find out why it didn't work in the first place. If there is a way to fix that then you may be able to work it out. However, if it just doesn't work because somebody is unhappy than you have to love her enough to let her go.

It really didn't work for the both of us because of the mistakes that i've did. She did everything for me, she sacrificed so much for me but I didn't realize that until she left me permanently because she chose to be with another person. I love her so much and I know that my life wouldn't be a very happy life because she's not with me anymore. I hope that she still loves me. I'm her 1st love and she was my 1st also. We really are very insepreble before, I did not really expect this to happen.

so your bestfriend became your girlfriend?
I have so many close friends when I was young. I can consider them as my close friend as I have different person as my close friend every couple of years when I was in grade school. The friend I have now is i consider my friend as she knows everything that is happening to me, as I shared everything to her and she already knows my attitude. So I guess, i have only one bestfriend at the age of 27 and that is my bestfriend now.

Not really..She became my girlfriend and then we treated each other like we were best friends. Knowing her and loving her is the greatest thing that ever happened to me.

Welcome to mylot. May you have the fantastic, educational experience I am having at mylot.
My first friend was another girl at age 5. Her name was Susan S. Yes I remember her last name. We were friends until I moved from Yreka, Ca. I was there about 3yrs. She and I did everything together. If we were together today I don't know if we would be friends. That was many years ago. I remember many things we did together. I guess my second best friend was when I was about 15yrs. We stayed friends through some of our adult years. I was in the military and transferred overseas. That's when I lost contact with her. We sewed together, raised dogs together. She taught me how to slaughter chickens. Aw her name just came to me, Linda K. I remember the things we did together to this day. Would we still be friends, probably not. My husband did not like her.
Prosperous mylotting

Around six. :) My best friend was Sadhana Goswami, known to everybody as Sweetie. I still remember her birthday, September 1st! :) We both were in boarding school, our beds were adjacent to each other, and the hostel matron used to have a wonderful time troubling both of us because we never had as many visitors. My father was busy with his work, I lost my mother, her parents were in Tanzania. So we could never really complain. :) I guess, that pain brought us closer. :)

The first best friend I had was when I was in grade school and we began to run separate lives when we went into high school. Eventually, I moved away and into another county. Later on, I came back to my hometown to actually re-connect with her as adults. I still know her to this day and have connected on Facebook of all places.

I have a lot of childhood friends but I can say God gave me my best friend for 15 years going 16 now when I was in 3rd year high school. I was 13 years old that time. Time runs so fast and I thank God for taking care of our friendship until now. Though I miss her so much because we are miles away from each other I look at the nearest star every night and tell myself that she's not that far from me.

The first time I really had a best friend who I can share anything with is at 13 years old. We have so many in common and can learn from each other.
She is come from really wealthy family and first I don't realize it because she is so humble and sometimes using public transportation. I know it when I come to her house after school, I really shocking to see her house its big and luxury. I am from wealthy family but she seem not care. We are still friend until this day.

Since I was a child, I have a bestfriend or bff. And I know she is my childhood bestfriend. We played together, go to school together, and eat together our meals.
We are very close to each other. I know that even we are no longer seeing each other regularly, and get along together, deeply in our heart we are bff.

I can't really say I've had one spacific "Best friend." I've had a lot of friends over the years. Sometimes we drift apart over the years, or some way or another become less close. I have friends who I'm really close with but you never know what's going to happen in two or more years. I always make a lot of friends, and I think because of that my friendships change more rapidly.
