How did you meet your best friend?

June 30, 2010 2:39pm CST
I first met my best friend in year 8 senior school, i didn't know who he was at the time and he approached me in the hallway and asked me if i was chris lowdon, i said to him that i was and he told me his name was nick and that even though he was american people where telling him that he looked and sounded exactly like me, my response to him wasn't very nice and involved bad language but someone a few months later we ended up becoming friends over a girl and have been best firends ever since! How did you meet your best friend? Looking forward to hearing your stories!

I met my best friend when i was like 7 years old. We played together but we hated each other. She usually grab my doll so i will get mad at her. She lives miles from our place and she and her family visits every summer. I grew up to like her although she is a year older than me. When we started going to school, we look forward to seeing each other and telling stories about what we did in school, what's our test scores, what subjects we hate most, etc. We managed to stay connected while we were in highschool, she lives at the city and it is 1 and half hours travel from there to my parents house. She is the one who can always make me smile when things are not so good, she knows me when i'm problematic and she knows when i'm happy. She accepted me for who i am and so proud of me. She loves me, i can tell and i can prove it. she is always there for me and i am willing to do the same for her. She will always be my best friend. Oh and by the way, she is also my cousin.

I meet my bestfriend when we are about 12 years old. That was our first day in school,we're both on our 7th grade. We're both newcomers from other school too,so,we don't have friends yet by that time. it started out with simple hi,and hello,then...during our break,we had the chance to know each other more. We been together for 2 years and we had so many memories to cherish. I missed her now,i have come to met our old friends and classmates in facebook,but,my bestfriend is missing.

I hope you find your best friend one day, good luck.

Thats a nice way to meet your bestfriend, he looking and sounding like you, haha! For me, i met my bestfriend during high school years in my country which were during the ages of 13-16. I dont really remember how it happened actually, but what i do remember is that we were a group of friends of 6 people. That was on 2nd year high school. During the third year, 4 of our friends were transferred to different sections and we were the only ones left together. I think thats where it started. We become closer to each other and soon were the bestest of friends.

i meet my best friend back in high school. it all started when one of his friend started to court me but since we dont have any direct communication with that friend of him, he started to bridge the gap and it was him whom i talk to everynight over the phone, since then our unusual friendship has started. i havent seen him yet and so time came that we agreed to meet and i honestly appreciated his looks. after graduation his friend and i havent formed any relationship at all and we started to really lose the commuication but my best friend was still there all along and guess what it was us who formed such relationship and till now we were still bestfriensds and lover at the same time. hehehe! happy mylotting =)

I have known this person since 1985. we strted studying in the same school. I just knew him then. we were in the same class. when we were in the 8th standard thats when we becam good griends. We used to sit on the same bench. From the 9th standard we became very good friends and from the 10 standatd we became best friends. Since then we have been best friends.

i cant believe how many responses ive had this is great and some of the stories that have led to close friendships r under odd circumstances, it just goes to show how people change as they grow and how there behaviours change but generally it shows that once a friend (a real friend) its a hard bond to break. You dont get many friends like that

I met my best friend during the second year of middle school. It was during lunch and I was talking to another friend of mine and then my best friend sat next to me and started talking to me. It's been about eight years since we met. Our friendship had our ups and downs and we might drifted apart a little over the years but I still consider her my best friend.

Hi, chrisdarryn. Me and her was in Remedial Math class together. She sat right beside me. She was very quiet too. We both was irritated with the Math teacher. She was so mean and hateful. We both would get together and complain about how the math teacher was mean and all. That is how we became best friends.

Hi Chrisdarryn, My bestfriend was my classmate in grade school, we went to the same school all the way to high school. Then we went to different colleges, but we never lost touch. Now we're both married, have our own families and live in different cities, but we still manage to communicate with each other through phone calls, text messages and occasional visits. While I have so many friends, it comforts me to know that I have this one permanent best friend and that our friendship lasted for more than 30 years and still counting. Welcome to myLot!

Oh. I was an introvert type of person. I sat alone inside the classroom when I was in highschool. I was afraid to be alone because I am new in our school. Someone approach me and she talks to me. She accompany me wherever I go and then, we ended up as best of friends. We have the same ideology and point of view so that's it.

i first meet my best friend when their is a program in our school. i saw her performing very nice and I appreciate the way she dance because she give her very best to show her talent to everyone. Suddenly, she come on me and ask "is their any problem in my performance? then I said"nothing, I just looking of you because I tell to my self that, someday we will be friends for ever" then she said, "oh why not, having a friend like you is nice" then sooner, we become closed together and years pass by, we become best friends forever. We laugh at all time and we eat together and we respect each other as a brother and a sister.

i love girls that dance, do you ever wish you could have more of a relationship with her or do you see her as strictlu friends, do you think she has extra feelings for you?

I met my best friend when we were both in 6th Grade and she wasnt my classmate yet and we just greeted each other often with lots of giggles. Then the following year we became classmates. We had loads of fun together and from there on we became best of friends until now. Although, she lives far now. I still miss her loads.

I met my best friend when i was in high school. We are classmates that time but we are not close friends because we both have our own group of friends. But since we get along with each other, we became very close because we are compatible in many ways. Until now, she is still my best friend.

I first met my best friend in year 1 senior high school.He looked like a little innocent boy and at the same time I had just transferred to this new school after graduating from my previous junior high school.I didn't know anyone there,but he was so kind and helped me a lot.We both liked playing computer games and for this reason there was no difficult for us to be close.
