This is something I always ponder about myself. I'd honestly say 0. However, I have many friends that I see regularly, we have dinner dates either every other month or every few months... but there aren't any friends that I see on a daily or weekly basis. So I guess I'd have to say 0..... I try to analyze this LOL and I think it's just that I am independant and that I didn't have any sisters, just a brother so maybe that affected my relationships with other girls? IDK </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-close-friends-do-you-have#post-1841601 Fri, 29 Aug 2014 00:58:54 +0000 Kimberlybee 1841601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6 very close childhood friends that live near, within an hour driving distance. </p> <p>1 that relocated to Boston and 1 that moved 8 hours away but every time we see each other we just pick up where we left off.</p> <p>I also have a group of mommy friends that I am close to that consists of 7 women who meet up for lunch or dinner without our kids or husbands. I really enjoy having female friends and it's a must for my sanity to have and maintain these friendships. Although it does seem harder to make new friends these days. </p> <p>I love this quote by Maya Angelou: </p> <p>"I don't believe an accident of birth makes people sisters or brothers. It makes them siblings, gives them mutuality of parentage. Sisterhood and brotherhood is a condition people have to work at."</p> <p>@Mrs.Pinecone316: This is true for me also. I have lived in the same area my entire life so keeping in touch with my childhood friends have been very important to me throughout the years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-close-friends-do-you-have#post-1841487 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 21:53:49 +0000 fairy 1841487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One who isn't local T^T and then family. I have been working on it, but it takes a lot of effort to get to know people super well when you don't see them all the time like friends I would meet at school or work. And then of course my awesome online friends :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-close-friends-do-you-have#post-1841462 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 21:35:28 +0000 Mrs.Pinecone316 1841462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 4 best friends from high school ( known for 15+ years) all live local and my best friend from childhood lives about 1.5 hrs away. I'd consider my SIL very close friends as well. I think living in the same place you grow up your whole life allows you to really keep in touch easier so I am lucky for that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-close-friends-do-you-have#post-1841461 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 21:34:57 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1841461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5 close friends locally and a couple that live far away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-close-friends-do-you-have#post-1841457 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 21:31:26 +0000 dolphin 1841457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5-6 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-close-friends-do-you-have#post-1841442 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 21:18:00 +0000 .twist. 1841442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3 and two of them live 2 - 3 hours away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-close-friends-do-you-have#post-1841441 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 21:17:37 +0000 NurseMommy 1841441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One, and she's not local. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-close-friends-do-you-have#post-1841423 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 21:02:03 +0000 Mae 1841423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5.

I'd say I have some close friends here but not a bestie...my best friend lives a 10 hour drive away. My closest friends after her live in Canada, so we mostly keep in touch over Skype and FB. I always wish I had closer friends nearby :meh: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-close-friends-do-you-have#post-1841289 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 20:07:43 +0000 hellobeeboston 1841289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm, sadly it dwindles as we age and establish our own families.... I would say I have 6 really close friends, and a handful of acquaintances. Lucky for me one of my best girlfriends from college just bought a house in my town. Yay! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-close-friends-do-you-have#post-1841111 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 18:34:13 +0000 Adira 1841111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd say I have two really close friends. I'm close with my brother too and I probably hang out with him the most, but I definitely can't share all the "girl stuff" with him. :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-close-friends-do-you-have#post-1841097 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 18:28:34 +0000 Crisark 1841097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd say 3 at this point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-close-friends-do-you-have#post-1841075 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 18:17:54 +0000 Cole 1841075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not many, really one or two close friend and then my two sisters and two of my cousins. I am pretty introverted and stink at being good at keeping relationships strong though. I have been making a concerted effort though to expand my friendship base recently though but it's hard! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-close-friends-do-you-have#post-1841035 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 18:00:54 +0000 yellowbird 1841035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe 5 or 6 that I would do just about anything for and I miss all the time! I hate not living near anyone I love! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-close-friends-do-you-have#post-1841031 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 17:59:33 +0000 DillonLion 1841031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a few, but the list is getting shorter and shorter. </p>
