Best Friends

[dontfiguremeout]

So how long does it take you to create a best friend from one of your many friends? I mean I know it takes a long time, but how long do you usually take? Because I forget when I'm making my best friend, but I just want to see from many people an average of how long it usually takes people to create that best friend bond with someone.

I've known 2 of my friends ever since I was 4 years old. I don't consider them best friends, but brothers. I've known another 2 good friends since sixth grade whom I also consider brothers. Then 2 more I've known for more than 2 years. At one point my mind considered them best friends. Now we see each other as family and I've known them far too long to simply call them "best friends". Blood couldn't make us any closer.

I would say it depends on what you and your friend do together, how much time you spend with each other, how you act around them, etc. Maybe on average [from my experience] 4-6 months of constantly hanging out with 1 another.

This varies person to person.

To me it can take quite a long time to develop a friendship.

Like I said it varies person to person.

It depends on how you connect with the person. Certain friendships develop much faster than others, while some crawl along and you grow closer with the person over a long period of time.

my BEST friend and I became that in like a day ...knew from the time we met that we were the best of friends..(an no not my bf :D)...but I have a lot of friends too ...just that there is always one that you are so close even more than a sibling

hasn't happened yet :(

[workingatperfect]

It depends. One of my best friends, we clicked the first time we met and were immediately inseparable. My other best, it took a while. We went through a period of hating each other, and as soon as we realized there was no reason to hate each other, we became incredibly close.

Well from i met mone for the very first time, it took abt 4-6 months

[momo....]

i love my best friend but she is always with her bf rather us girls

[Roses_Are_Yellow]

I have a couple. With my first best friend, she and I met a few years ago, lost contact, and then saw each other again. It took probably two or three months for us to become close, but compared to our relationship now, it feels like we were just acquaintances then (and we were really close) now she's like my little sister.

The best friend that I've know the longest, it took us the longest time to become even friends. She and I were enemies at first, it was because of a stupid reason (we were little, it was a big deal then..but not anymore) so we spent five months trying to get each other in trouble. And then it took a month for me to call her my best friend. I still can't believe that I ever hated her, and that it took that long to realize that she was pretty awesome. Since we don't go to the same school anymore, we're not as close as we used to be, but we still hang out.

For another one it took three weeks for us to become best friends. It was funny because I knew that we would be really good friends even before we had met and talked. Strange right? (I saw her name on the grade lists, and I had this feeling almost)

With the rest, it took six months. The first five I spent avoiding them since I thought they all hated me, and I was afraid of them. But I started hanging out with them and it turned out they actually wanted me to hang out with them.

So I guess you could say for me six months? But you know, in all of those cases hate was involved for the first five months...

Depends on who... some friends a number of years, some under a month. It depends on both of us, depends on what mood we're in and what our interests our, our personalities, being humans everything is an x-factor so an accurate estimation is incredibly hard to create.

[Abyssal Echo]

I have serious trust issues so it takes me awhile.

[randomnessqueen]

ive known my best friend since elementary school, but weve been close from the start. i think its easier when you know meet them young. now a days, it depends on what theyre looking for, and what theyre like, usually it only takes a month or two to say that theyve really become a good friend. as far as a best friend, thats less about time and more about your kind of relationship.

[jegoss02]

I can pretty much tell from a first conversation when or if we are friends but best friend hood. Idk. I have a few people I've known for quite a while but I moved so. Not typ the best friend stage of my new set yet. But it might take a while for them to be a "best" in my books.

[mwilly132]

i think like a couple months

[Pipo]

I don't label them as best friends, they're just friends some are better than others and I don't call anyone as best friend everyone is just friend.

Like I said some closer than others and better some not ^^

why I do this is because if I get in to a fight with someone or don't want to come with someone they can't pull the "I'm your best friend" bla bla.

[Christheman]

dont even get me started with best friends. i thought he was then he screwed me over so my other friend turned out to be my best friend

[Empty Spaces]

It takes years. I have 3 best friends, and I know them for almost 10 years. I can't be best friend with someone i know for 3 months, that's impossible. It's hard to trust people nowadays.

[FullyAlive]

It depends some it takes me years, my two friends we all became really close when I needed support after a family death this was a couple of years ago, but we'd been good friends for a couple of years before.
However this year we kind of made a new group in sixth form, we were all friends enough I wouldn't say best friends but close enough. Then me and one girl got really close in literally like a month.
So I guess for me it just varies. Different situations.

My best friend and I took only a few weeks and that was only seeing each other maybe 2 or 3 times, we have known each other now for maybe 2 years and are definitely the closest 2 guys I know, we have seperate groups of friends but we always go out together at least 5 times a week, so I'd say a best friend can be made in days really, usually two people just click!:)

Considering how much I move around and switch schools I've become the sort of person to make friends fast by not being the shy new kid. Ima be the crasy bastard from the start! XD lol anyway. Because of this it usually only takes me a week or two to make a best friend. But. Its a fine line between best friends and family. Few ppl know how to cross that line because to cross it, you need to be as crazy as me! Lol I have a friend who my mom hated and (odd as it sounds) her (friend) getting pregnant and giving birth has shown my mom how good of a person she really is. She is keeping that baby, finishing high school at 17 by going to summer school to earn extra credits. She wants to give her baby the best and she is trying as hard as possible and she is succeeding. But currently I have a female best friend who is my sister now and forever. We fight like every other brother and sister but we laugh and hug and joke around like the best friends we are.

This is a good top, Wasif is my best,he is my age,he is good boy,he help the poor, his father is doctor, he is work very hard, he can me help every work,he live in my city, We went through a period of hating each other, and as soon as we realized there was no reason to hate each other, we became incredibly close.

[TimPeters]

i had a best friend after a few months and he still is

[Loreley]

I think that I make friends relatively easily, but I need a lot of time to creat a best friend.
And finally, in this case, I understood that she is not the best friend I could have. :/

[Conner Davies]

hasn't happened yet :(

agree

[level_up]

I answered 6-7 months but honestly I think it can take anywhere from 1 month to a year +. It all depends on how often you see the person, how close your personalities are, and a bunch of other factors.

[LatinaVivit]

At least half a year.

[Mirage]

I've known my best friend since preschool, and we're going into 8th together so that says a lot. But really, it only takes a month to develop a strong relationship with someone
