I have 3 people I have been friends with for more than 10 years - these are people that I still see and keep contact with. Not too many, but considering my personality, I think I am doing well.
I have a couple or 3 more that I hope are still in my life in another 10 years.
Let's see... I have one girlfriend from 7th grade. She and I have kids the same age. I have a girlfriend who shares a divorce with me--her ex and mine were good buddies. We went to college together. I have one bud from high school and my first "serious" boyfriend. I have other buds from high school, but my two girlfriends are the best and oldest/
My best friend from childhood is still an important person in my life, so that's 43 years!
My 2 best girlfriends in Canada are like my sisters and its been 21 years.
I have about 3 friends here who I hsve been fond of for 16 years....and then there's my fewls who I hope will be a part of my life for 10 years or more..
There are only a handfull off friendships that have lasted for 10 years or more. One ex-military buddy I've known since 1980. Friends in my home town I've known even longer than that. In the Greater DFW area, I have friends from Oklahoma that moved here, and therefore I've known them more than 10 years, but they live in far FT. Worth which is a really long trip for me. Besides he's married with kids and I think some of you know how that can affect the single guy as the friend.
I've lived in the DFW area since 1995. So technically I could have friends here that I've known for 10 years, however it took me until 1997 to really start to get to know people from the area.
I can't prognosticate who will be friends in the future, but I'll sure try and keep in touch.
BIG QUESTION........"FRIENDS"AND/OR
"ACQUANTENANCES".......THAT HAVE
BEEN JABBERING FRIENDS WITH FOR 10
YEARS. THAT MIGHT GO WAY UP TO 6-8.
AS FOR THAT SECOND 10 YEARS......
I HOPE I'M STILL IN MY LIFE IN 10
YEARS. THANKS FOR THE "POSITIVE
THINKING".
'PQ TODAY'....IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T FIGURED IT OUT YET,MATHEMITICIANS
ONLY LIKE TO SOLVE PROBLEMS THEY
ALREADY KNOW HOW TO DO. THEY'RE NOT
TO GOOD AT THE OTHER KIND.
I think I will still be friends with you ten years from now, Cindy. I sure hope so anyway.
I have 2 20 yearers, 4 10+yearers and 3 8-yearers! I count myself lucky to find the kind of friends you want to keep for a long time...and these friends have won the lifetime friendship award, no doubt! (So Tom, that means you are stuck with me!)
I have also fired a few "friends" but that's another story for another question of the day!
I have 2 ex-students who are now dear friends ... and I hope they will continue for many more years ... Also a teacher I worked with in the mid-90's .... and an on-and-off relationship with a friend I met through my son.
I hope all these people are still my friends 10 years from now ... along with the many more friends I have made since the Internet entered my life .... I found Tom and his friends found girlfriends and wives and I hope we are all friends for a long time ... and of course ... my FEWLISH friends ...
