How many really good friends do you have? I mean that good girl friend you can call in the middle of the nite when you are mad at your man, or to just talk because you can't sleep. That good friend that knows you way back when. I have a few friends that I had since i was a teenager. then I have met some really great people online that I will say are very good friends. So how many true friends do you have?

I have one friends that has known me longer than anyone else in that capacity. She will always be my first and best friend. On line I have dozens of friends. I value them all and would move heaven and earth to meet them, to help them, to show how much I care. I'm so glad for this global community we now live in. I have best friends all over the world and that is soooooooooooooo cool!

Oh, I'm gettin' all squishy. I love you too sparky. You are my best friend soul mate. You understand me like nobody else and forgive my stupidity like nobody else ever has or probably ever will. We will always be entwined no matter where you move to. I will always pull out all the stops for you. Certainly more than even my husband, who refuses to even try to understand me. Anyone who meets or interacts with you in any way is always lucky to have known you. Too bad the deadbeat wants to change and or control you. I think you are perfect just the way you are.

People probably think I'm crazy but I have quite a big number of really good friends that I can honestly say I trust them one hundred percent. I just don't know what it is, but I continue to build my number of friends. And ever since I joined the army my numbers have grown as well as the fact that now I have really good friends all over the place and I will always keep in touch with them. I feel absolutely lucky to have each and ever friend that I have. Of course we all go through the time of difficulty with a friend, but we get pass it and move on cause we are just that good of friends.

I do not have any of those kinds of friends at all. I do have some really good friends online though. It works out better for me anyway since I work alot on here. I have two friends I can go go and talk to any time of the day. My husband is my best friend though.

i am a guy and i have a few really good friends i mean that i could call during anything that was going on and i have this one special girl that i know that i could always count on being there for me...i mean it is really hard to find those kind of people to be able to depend on and i have finally found a few so i think that i should probably keep them...i mean really good friends are hard to come by now a days .... jhl930

i think you attract the kind of people you need in your life at that moment. some are not meant to stay forever, and some are meant to teach you valuable life lesson. it doesn't matter if you are a man or a women when you find that one person you can connect with make sure you keep them

I have met some great people online who are really good friends altho i have never met them i know i can always rely on them to be there! i dont have many friends outside the net and that is because i struggle to introduce myself in person and am very shy. My mum is the best friend i could wish for tho :)

Obviously my wife is my best friend ever, helps me a lot throughout various problems. God has understood my needs and disadvantages so there she came and I married her. I really can't live without her. Apart from her there are only 3 best friends I could count and most of good friends of mine are coming from the church community.

Friends I have too many but the close-friend is one. I have a friend who can share sadness and happiness with me. I haven't have a boyfriend. This month is her's birthday. But now I can't find gift for her because she is very special with me.

If you mean true friends, I have few of them. They are my friends since high school and college! I can count on them whenever I have problems. I can tell all my worries and trust that they will give them a good advice. The best part is they are very true to me, they will tell me the truth whether it hurts me (ofcourse in a nice manner hehe) than lying to me to make me feel better. so there, I have few but they are true! Cheers!

I have about five friends like that, who I'm very close with and can trust completely. I can tell them anything, and they trust me too. I'm so grateful to have them in my life.

Hello 34momma,Thanksfor your discussion.Actually we use the word" Friend" more or less everywhere like we call our classmates,colleagues,and anybody and everybody we spend some good time or even in parties,movies etc,and those friends when dont help us or not really what they pretend and the truth comes out before us during the hard phases of our life then we start calling them "Enemy" or Jealous or Selfish etc lol.I am a popular guy and I have huge number of 'Friends" in the society lol and I understand very well what and howmuch should I give myself and what and howmuch can I expect from them lol,by the blessing of God among all I have some solid group of friends whom I can trust or and I always try my level best to reciprocate my part, also my childhood sweetheart she is my best friend and wejust got married lol. My conclusion is, it is absolutely useless, to have thousands of inactive referrals/friends rather a single or few true friends are enough to spend life peacefully.Thanks.

friends, - friends forever,care bears
I consider everyone that i encounter in my everyday life as my true friend. and as far as i have experienced each and everyone of them helps me in times of needs, they are much of shoulders to cry on. and i also consider my friends as super heroes of my life. because without them I would not be as happy as I am now. to all of my friends thank you. and for those how are reading this. thanks
