I think I can. I may not be his, but he has been mine.

In modern times, I'd say no. I'm pretty close with some of my co-workers though.

Same here.

I did have a best friend in high school. There are those that if called for help would come immediately but not really a best friend. My wife would really be my best friend. However, most of my best friends are the voices in my head. They speak the most sense and are reasonable.

A whole big group of friends from school days. The group started in middle school, grew in high school, then grew even more in college. After college, guess what, we started meeting girls and getting married, the group grew even more. Then we started having kids, that took over life for a while and group activities dwindled. Now our kids are getting older and the activities are starting to increase. We've been through good times, bad times, death of parents, and failed marriages with each other.

The fire dept is yet another close group. It is a brotherhood in that we feel a close kinship with each other. You only need to see a firefighter's funeral to understand.

The guys at my department have helped me when I needed it and have done more for me than some in my own family would have. Do I have a best friend, singularly?

Well, like Gale Sayers says, "God is first, my friends/family come second and I Am Third." At least, that's what I strive to live by.

I do indeed, this man:

Known him since High School (11-12 years), he was my Best Man at my wedding, and I consider him to be like a brother to me. Couldn't ask for a better best friend.

No. I had one once. Her collection of idiots for boyfriends finally staked a wedge between us.
I have a couple of very good friends. They do the job better than anyone can hope.
