Good Freinds.

[Homicidalheathen]

Anyone on here meet someone they just know will be in their life forever?

No matter how bad they fuck up....just that inside they are such an awesome person you know they could never do anything so bad you would disassociate yourself from them?

These are the kinds of peeps that keep you up when your down....

You lean on when you need them and they don't fall over.....

Instead just by being alive they hold you up.

Worth having.

Even a lover turned freind.......someone you were involved with but still freinds with?

Because sometimes things don't work out in a romantic way but your still clicking on an intimate level...

Or someone who will always be a lover but maybe a good freind too......

Its rare but makes life worth living.

I've never done well in the "lover to a freind" transition......sometimes you share too much to be stepping backward a bit, or one or both parties remain frustrated that the relationship is just one step away from, well, more I suppose. And I've ruined a few freindships that way, moving forward into lover status when I knew better.

I'm older now (much, holy crap there's gray in my beard), and I'm married to a wonderful woman and so that does not apply to me anymore. But if I were single I would still probably be cautious about that transition, as I like to keep my friends very close to me.

That's worked quite well for me in the past, actually. Contrary to most people's expieriences.

[Guest Game of Chance]

I have quite a few of those...that type of connection is rare, indeed.

[kellygrrrrrl]

My ex-fiance is one of my best friends....

I was even in his wedding and him & his girl were in mine....well not really IN mine...but they came!

(I planned my wedding in less than one week...nobody was technically IN it... but they were 2 of the very few people who saw it)

We still have a deep connection on a certain level I guess....

He'll always have a special place in my heart no matter what.

We were together for 5 years.

Now we've been friends for 6

i have met SO many people i know/knew would be in my life forever.

but then when they are not i feel like something is missing. like a part of me is gone. fortunately almost ALL of those people have come back into my life (even if it has taken YEARS) so i feel i was right in knowing they ARE people meant to be with me forever.

another good part of that is almost all of them are part of my big circle of friends i have now.

a lot of them didn't even know each other when *I* knew them all. but over time they got to meet each other (various ways that had nothing to do with me) and i believe that plays a big part in how/why i got to see them again.

sometimes it STILL blows my mind that almost everyone i know knows everyone i know (i always had a wide variety of different groups of friends from all over. i never thought i would ever have a big group of people who all know each other like i do now.)

there are really only a few more people i would like to see again but i am not even sure that once i did they would be back in my life. but it would be nice to at least know they are ok and then i might feel sort of satisified in just knowing how they are rather than having them back around for good.

Every single time I've tried to make something like that work, it's failed miserably. I find the best thing for myself and anyone who has been a lover in the past is to remain friendly but at a far distance or eventually we will end up actual enemies. I am an all-or-nothing person I guess when it comes to intimacy.

Any emotional intimacy ends up being just too much for me to handle.

I've seen people pull it off, but I can't seem to. It just feels wrong.

[Gaf The Horse With Tears]

I'm still close with most of the friends I made at 5. I still talk on a regular basis with every girl friend I have ever had. I'm even still friends with my ex-wife.

People are cool.

[Draco1958]

I have a friend like that. Been friends for 32 yrs. We've had our ups and downs yet our friendship is strong. Altho lately it seems even the strength from that friendship can't help to hold me up anymore. It's nice to know that we've been friends that long.

[torn asunder]

all i can say is, nobody is indispensible...

[The Void]

I've only done the lover to friend thing if the lover started out as a friend first. Even then, no everyone I was friends with before that was a friend after.

I've pretty much moved on, but there is one person who has remained on my friends list and in my heart even though I do not see him anymore.

[Shade Everdark]

Any of you who know me in meatspace, I am quite sure, will know me only as a memory, five years from now. My life has not been one such that I am allowed to keep my friends for many years. Always comes some upheaval, some massive change that sets me down a new path, and takes me away from them.

I like to think I hold hard to my friends while I have them, because I know eventually I'll lose them. For I am a leaf on the wind....

[TygerLili]

I have one friend who I've literally known since before I was born. Our moms are best friends and were pregnant together. We were born on the same day, and growing up a lot of people referred to us as "the twins". She and I have grown apart a bit in recent years, but I know that when things are rough I can pick up the phone and she'll be there for me, and vice versa. Friends like that are pretty much family.

The friends I've met as an adult seem to kind of drift in and out. I think that's pretty typical, especially when you're still young.

As for lovers turned friends, well, it seems like a good idea in theory, but I guess it really depends on how things ended. In some instances it works ok, in others it's just too hard.

[Saephyr]

I have to admit yeah. I was thinking I'd never keep it touchwith some dude from the East coast but it seems that we just can not be without each other.

He even tried after a dumb fight we had and he found out that it wasn't meant to end

If you guys saw the Bday card he sentg me you'd really think that he was IN love However we aren't like that for each other.

We just really love to talk daily and stay close. Help each other think. Share ideas. Talk about love lifes. Bullshit and al that. Even shop together sinec he moved to FL and when I shop online he helps me get better deal than I usually find initially. He's a whiz! As well as being my favorite cuz I love nerds big time..I am one at heart

Yeah I love Spoon

[Troy Spiral (13)]

Two or three times... and... two or three of them i've not really talked to for years.

And er.. dont be talking about spooning. I might actually have to force myself to leave the house to go find some cuddling. BAD.

[Saephyr]

Use me Troy...I don't mind as long as you don't wear your Mickey Mouse boxers...heeheehee

[SpidersMoment]

i'm currently going throught that right now.

although, i just seems as if we werent really meant to be lovers and were just meant to be close. i call us the "Wonder Twins" cuz we share the same wave length. And no, i cant imagine my life without him.

Him and I have more conversations and more in depth thoughts then me a my current boyfriend. (sad huh?)

Used to believe that, but I forgot that people die.

That sorta fucks it up.
