Is it okay to replace your bestfriend?

u will always be best friends with your old friends, but people move on. she has. i am sure she has made other friends as well. she should move on and make new friends, and if she returns, you will still be there for her because she was one of your first best friends. you can have more than one best friends.

Hi ashblex: You don't replace your bestfriend my dear. she will live on in your heart forever as she does even now, even though she has gone away due to circumstances beyond her control. But you have to move on yourself, so don't deprive yourself of having good friends who will be there for you here and now. Everyone has to move on with their lives so take into your heart someone whom you really like and trust and gradually she will become very important in your life and you can always say "she is one of my best friends". theres nothing wrong in that. You are not betraying anyone. Poor you, you have been holding a candle for someone who's not even there for you now and for 14 years? It's high time you had other good friends to share you life with. Your other best friend will be there in your heart and if she ever returns again, good. She can then also be one of your best friends. Cheer up ashblex. bless you.

First of all I want to say I am sorry that you lost your best friend. I can tell she meant a lot to you. I think it hurt you when she left but not all friends will treat you that way. If you want that close friendship again you have to take a chance on losing that person just like you do in love. Many people will come into and go out of your life. Let that enrich your life and treasure the time you have with them.

you should try to find her. Google her name and/or look on myspace.

honey, friends come and go. Don't mind them, you can still have another bestfriend. Even if you presently have a bestfriend you can still have another bestfriends but make sure they are not that jealous type LOL. I do have a friend before, I thought no one can separate us but it still happened, we got separated. I am still seeing her with her bunch of friends, but who cares I do have a bunch of friends too! I think it is just a matter of acceptance and decision who will make us happy. go look for another one, we have a freedom of choice.

I really don't think you need to "replace" your best friend, just keep a special place for her in your heart or even in your life, because you don't know where she is, what she is doing, or who she is now. Maybe when you bump into her one day, she is not the one whom you consider always as the best friend. I think you can just move on and continue with your life, best friend is not to find, maybe you meet another person, you two have the true feelings of best friends, then why not?

it's not a question of replacing your best friend or what. just find more friends. go out. meet new ones. don't restrict yourself to just one friend.
don't ever feel guilty if you choose to have other friends. there is no law binding you to stick to just one best friend.
good luck.

I think it's fine to move forward with friends but I think you should also try to keep in touch with the older ones as well. Now with communications more than ever making it so easy to stay n touch, even if you lose tough with a person, you could hook up with them again at Classmates.com, Reunion.com or any number of search sites like US Search.

I think it is okay to replace your best friend as you said there has been a gap of 14 years.If she was your best friend she would have called you once a month.I thikn i life we lose somethings so you can find a new best friend from the closest friends who are there with you right now.You have to forget the past and move ahead.Till then pray that she is doing good and she remembers you.
