Off topic, but inspired by grey5.0beast's buddy being cracked on... but of all your friends, how long have you known them? I don't mean every "buddy" out there but true friends.
I've noticed as I get older, my only freinds I have known for a long time. Most I have known for at least 5 years, if not 8 plus. I can't even feel comfortable around someone until I have known them at least a year, before that, they feel like strangers. Younger guys, it seems like they have a new set of freinds every year. Some people, you meet them and or a while they seem like great people, but over the period of a year, you see thier true colors. Come to think of it, I don't really respond to people's post on here until I have seen that they have been posting for a while.
For me, probally my longest term friend is the one in my Avatar. I met her when I was 16, so I have now known her for 11 years! She was my first love, first for a lot of things, changed my life, but over the years, we have just become very good freinds, we connect on a deeper level. Were not compatable in a relationship, but as freinds, we are. She has been there for me no matter what, and I have been there for her no matter what. (plus, she lives with other models in clearwater FL
I have another friend, I am not really sure of the status, but we were best freinds to the letter for the longest time. It's funny how it all has fallen out. I was always there, if he called and needed some help, no questions, I dropped whatever I was doing and was there. But not that I am between jobs, and could use a little help moving my tools and such, he's just too damn busy. It's weird actually, we pretty much quit talking now that I have a girlfreind, whenever I call, he doesn't want to talk. WTF.
Then there are those buddies that I have known for a long time, but there are good and bad things about them, so if I see them, I'll talk to them, or we'll call each other but contact stays limited.
