How did you meet your best friend?

tinyraindrop July 28th, 2015

Hey everyone!

Happy Friendship Week!! I really love that 7 Cups is doing this and I encourage you all to give gifts here :)

I started this thread because I thought it would be fun to share how you met your best friend!

I met mine after a mutual friend at introduced us at a house show and we've been "bffs" for 7 years now. Although we don't live near each other anymore, I know she is always there for me and vice versa. People can come into your life at any time and change everything; I am so glad to have met someone who I can call my best friend.

I met my best friend working at a part-time job. The job was awful, but I met the kindest, loveliest person because of it, so no regrets! :D

I met my bestfriend in college. He is a year younger than me and we actually became friends when I said I wanted a slim Jim and he just so happened to have one in his backpack. Haha! From there we got closer and I'm really glad cuz he helps me through a lot of my issues. My boyfriend also likes him and is glad I have him. 😊

I met my best friend when we were 10 years old, which means I've known her 11 years. We met in day camp and been close ever since. Although, I'm home for the summer in another state we still text every single day so I'm practically there with her. I haven't seen her since my birthday in May and I can't wait for my senior year of college to start so I can create more memories with her in Sept. :D

GO FRIENDSHIP WEEK<3

I had a best friend when I was a kid, don't keep in touch anymore as we grew apart. My grandma was babysitting my mom friend's son. We talked about legos and video games and became best friends over time and were best friends for 7 years.

I met my best friend the first day of 3rd grade. I had just moved to a new state, so I didn't know anyone. She sat diagonally from me at a small table of four. The girl beside me conversed with her and I as my future friend pretended to be a dog (haha kids...) The next school day, we were somehow magically friends. We've been through all the ups and downs, sometimes going a whole year without communicating, but we've always found our way back. We have so many inside jokes we can basically read each other's mind. We also struggled through and helped each other out of a couple years of self-harm and ED in high school. Now I only see her 4 or 5 times a year (distance and schedules), but each time we doget together things pick up right where they left off. I love her to death and know she will be one of my bridesmaids someday.

I met my best friend at the restaurant I was waitressing at. He was a waiter there and gave me a ride to the hospital when my sister in law was having her first baby. He sat in the waiting room with us and we became great friends that night. Since then he's been through a lot of my life with me, even though he moved away we still talk 2-3 times a week. He's my sounding board, my champion, and the voice of reason sometimes. Every year on my nephew's birthday we celebrate the anniversary of our friendship. I don't really have any other close friends. He and I will grow old together.

I met my best friend 7 years ago in the beginning of high school, we had our ups and downs but she's always been there for me when I've needed it though nowadays life has gotten busy and we haven't been in touch so much but the important thing is friendship :)

Happy Friendship Week everyone!
