Where/how did you meet your best friend

[bucutie02]

We were both in the same dance class, freshman year of high school. I actually had another friend that was in the same class that I had known since junior high. The friend I knew since junior high introduced me to my best friend. I was nice and polite to her, but i didnt really talk to her much. She just kind of hung out on her own in that class since she didnt really know too many girls in there. Well my friend from junior high moved a couple of months later, so since i didnt know anyone else, i started talking to my best friend since i had briefly met her when school started (that was mean, i know). Anyway, we got to know each other better as the school year went on, and then we both made drill team together! We were best friends all through high school, then she followed me to Baylor because we wanted to be roommates! After that I transferred to UH and she went somewhere else.

Our friendship isnt like it used to be, I think we both have changed and are growing apart. I dont really have a best friend now- except for my parents. I know thats cheesy but I can always count on them, and no matter what, I know they will always love me

hey bucutie - i went to baylor last year too and transferred out LOL. I think a lot of people did that... Why did you leave?

Oh and to reply to the best friend thing... I met mine at Baylor! We became really close last year because we hated BU, and now we're all at different schools -Ole Miss, A&M, and USD (one's still at Baylor) but we are all still REALLY close and 2 of them just flew out here to CA to visit me!

One of my best friends and I met when were paired up as "buddies" on a 5th grade trip to Sacremento. She had just moved from SF. Well...that trip changed my life. We have a relationship where we can not talk for 20 years and pick up right where we left off. She taught me how to drive, how to cry and how to find myself. I love her with all my heart.

My best guy friend and I met in Jr. High. I had a crush on his brother. We grew up in the same social circle and we never talked to much. Finally I hit Soph year of HS and he was in my Bio class. I thought he was such a dork and mocked him horribly. We even used to throw stuff at eachother during lab and get in trouble. Well, this poor kid ended up liking on of my girlfriends and I hooked them up. She treated him horribly and I was there for him through out the whole thing. We ended up talking more and more. You know....the little things happened...we would wait for eachother after class by thge lockers, call eachother for "lab help." We even started making lunches for eachother. Then one day I had a party at my house and his friends came up to me and told me "Christ!Would you guys just get together already." That night I asked him to the Sadie Hawkins dance (Winter formal) and he kissed me. He was my "first love." We have been "special friends" for over 4.5 years now and our parents joke about us getting married.

God...that was corny.

What school do you go to now? I go to UH, but i transferred from Baylor because i didnt like the town. Waco has to be one of the worst towns ever ! Plus, back then I didnt have a car to get me to the tiny mall or wherever i needed to go. I always had to ask my friends to take me, luckily they loved shopping as much as I did. The people there were also very stuck up, and into very shallow things. I got really homesick the entire year I was there, and while I did make really good friends, it was just not my cup of tea. I am so much happier at UH!

The only thing i liked about the mall was that there was this little shop that made funnel cakes, popcorn, candy apples and all those kind of yummy things! Oh and the Old Navy in there seemed like it had everything on sale all the time !

My best friend from home and I met in the 7th grade. I thought she was cool, and I found out that she like a guy who lived by me. I invited her to come trick-or-treating with me, and we could stop by his house. We didn't end up seeing him, but we bonded in a major way! It's almost 10 years later, and we get closer all the time. It hurts that I'm in school, and she's not...sometime it seems as if we're leading different lives. I wish that she could have the opportunities that I have. But when I go home for break, or we call or email, it's like nothing has changed! We speak in our own language and everything is a reference to an inside joke...*sighs* I miss her!

actually, it's funny, my one best friend I met at work , actually at our interview to get hired for the job that I work now. we just happened to start chatting and she liked my bracelet. Then we were assigned the same interview table . Then we of course got the job() The after that we always hung out so people called us twins or something(I forgot what they used to call us) and they we both realized how much more we had in common, like we have the same design on our tattos, we like the same things. We are just totally the same it's the greatest.
My other best friend, duh my sister. I met her after she pledged She is the greatest , she is always there for and we just work together and straighten out the worst of all situations. Thats my girl

My other best friend, I met when I moved into my dorm quad a yr or so ago now. We been friends ever since. she's my reality check friend, my ego putter in placer, my what were you thinking when u did that.

I met my one of my best friends in a kinda weird way! My best friend Andrea is actually the little sister of my ex-boyfriend! Haha! I was dating her brother Joel during grade 11 and we became friends..such good friends infact that she helped me out during mine and Joel's breakup! We've been best friends ever since (so about 8 years now!) She was my maid of honor too!
My other best friend (Chad) I met when I was a kid in our youth bowling league! We've been best friends for about 14 years now....and although we don't see each other much (he's in Alberta, I'm in Florida!) we chat all the time and are still the best of friends!
Wow...this post really made me miss ALL my friends (they're all not in Florida....most are in Nova Scotia )

In 2nd grade, which would have been the fall of '79, Julie and I were both new at our school. We had each gone to private schools before and both wanted to change and go to the public school with all the other kids. We were in the same class and we just instantly hit it off....we were both considered "gifted" and were allowed to work on special projects together during regular class time. We also were rather, uh....SPIRITED together and it was seen to that we were never in the same class again until 8th grade. We had some rough times late in elementary school/early jr. high, but we really came back together in 8th grade when we did a film project together in which we played these old ladies, Myrt and Bert (Myrtle Pickle and Bertha Popplestone.) They became our alter egos, and we even brought my mom in on it....Julie bestowed the name Peaches on her and Peaches she remained for the rest of her life!!!! Anyway, we went to different high schools but stayed close, and even when we became separated in college we made an effort to keep it together. She now lives in Alexandria, VA and she is still my very best friend.

Erika- My Erika lives in Arlington, VA. We should coordinate trips out to see our girls!!!

my true best friend I met when we were in second grade. I went outside to go play by myself one day and I ;iterally ran smack into her and her brother coming out the door. She lived in the house behind us and it turned out we went to the same school. We lived next door to each other all the way up until we went to college and she just moved back with her husband and baby.

I met my clique (or 5 musketeers as weve been called), 2 in 9th and 2 in 11th and wev'e all been best friends ever since, but its kind of distancing.

Well my BEST friend and I have been backdoor neighbors since we were three. And actually while our mothers where pregnant we "met". His mom and my dad were taking the same MBA classes and there was a spouses night or something of the sort, and so we "met" then. Once he moved in behind me, then it was lots of time spent playing in the sandbox together, and with the exception of a view hiatuses during junior high, we've always been each other's closest friends. And while we may not spend all our time together, we've been the one absolute constants in each others lives. It's been really weird having him be 2 hours away rather than 2 seconds.

My best friend here at school, my ex-girlfriend introduced me to her the third or fourth day of school, and it turned out we have two classes together and two recitations as well. Just by talking after class and the like we've become really good friends.

My HS best friend and I met at a HS Basketball game. I was a cheerleader, junior and she was a freshman. This one girl was going to kick her ass after the game, she said she was screwing around with her boyfriend, who was actually my b/f's boyfriend, he was dating them both and had no clue.

So, we were just chatting about something and the girls started coming after her...I grabbed her and we ran to my car, went to Taco John's and hid out all night just talking laughing and getting to know her. The girls didn't ever come after her again because they worked at my dad's DQ. Funny!
