    We (my husband and I) have 6 very close friends - we're all couples. Apparently we're quite formidable when we're together :laugh:

    I would say around 10 close friends that I have had from 6 years to 34 years. I'm very lucky to have such a great group of people that surround me. I have the best family in the world with awesome friends to boot. I'm never ever alone in a time of need. :heart:

    2 right now. My partner and my sister, who unfortunately lives 10 hours away.

    I'm used to taking care of myself though, so I don't really feel the loss.

    4 really good female friends, and my husband.

    though i could probably include a few of my parents' good friends, they've sort of adopted me as an honorary niece. :)

    I would say I have 2. besides my boyfriend and my sister, hahaha. But one of them lives very far away and I have never met her in real life. But I feel super close to her and we both consider ourselves best friends, XD

    I have 2. One that I can go out with and enjoy a nice dinner and if I dont see her for a few months then thats ok.....no pressure. The other is very spiritual and we have that in common. She gets me...and she totally does not judge me when I make mistakes....she just listens and supports and I do the same for her.

    If GOOD means those you share your problems with + long deep conversations + spend the best time with: I say two friends.

    If GOOD means those you ask advice in the middle of the night about everything (from painful moments, feeling screwed up, socks color, stinking feet, cookies preservatives <--- truth): just ONE.

    I am the kind of person that thinks that friendship is nothing out from what I wrote above... I can say I HAVE 2 friends, no need to add how good :) And I am endlessly lucky for them!

    1 really good number one soulmate that I can talk about anything with. Married to her.
    Maybe 3 others I could call at 3am if in a jam.
    Probably a dozen that I could get to stop by on Saturday and help move a couch.

    Not bad really. 5 years ago it would'a been just the one soulmate.

    Anywhere from 1 to 5 depending on how you count them.

    1. Cloest friend from home, been friends since I was 8, grew up about 5 houses away. Can easily communicate without talking at this point which really messes with the rest of our friends.
    2. A cousin of mine that's about 3 years older and lives an hour away. Don't think he's ever said no to helping anyone.
    3+4: Two college friends, one male, one female, both were in my major and part of the smaller study group that naturally formed that varied between 4-6 of us. But one lives 4 hours away, and the other about 4500 miles (per google maps) away.
    5: My sister

    Oh and since someone else mentioned it as well, my dog is by far the most reliable friend I have. Though all 5 above are reliable too.
