Can you have more than one best friend?

Question

Do you have more than one best friend?

Bella, technically you can't have more than one best friend because of what best means. But it's certainly possible to have more than one really, really great friend, such that if you were to lose one or the other the remaining friend would be your best friend.

You can only have one best friendship at a time, but best friend relationships are highly dynamic. The average length of a best friendship is 3-5 milliseconds.

I have 5 best friends that I'm super close with. These are yearlong lifelong friendships that surpassed over 20years of time. At least one friendship anyway, the others have been under 10 years

I think you can but I personally don't have a bestie anymore, I have my little sis as my "bestie" and two close friends and other family members and some lose friendships lol

Adam1978 · Answer

I wouldn't rank friends but the whole definition claims only one can be best. It's not an opinion but every ranking can only have one at the top.

Daniela1982 · Answer

Everybody needs a "best friend".

Yeah you can  it can also be a bit of a sliding scale, which chops and changes over time by really little bits.

Yes of course. There's no rule that it has to be just one person. I've got 4 best friends.

One of my best friend is like a brother to me so I don't call him bestfriend I call him my brother. My other friend is my actual best friend. But if do anything for him as well.

Paul09 · Answer

In my experience, apparently not. So I just have real close friends I enjoy being around with for most of my life.

Scarecrow13 · Answer

Absolutely. Although more than 3 is getting a bit much.

CallmeTheKnight · Answer

I'd say yes, but you can only have 2 platonic best friends in my opinion.  If you consider your lover as your best friend, then you can only have one best friend.

Anonymous · Answer

Yes, though practically speaking one might consider only the best friend who is also the chosen priority friend is the 'real' best friend (though I think that's a generalisation really).
