My aunt posted something on Facebook about the 1 yr anniversary of the death of her best friend. It made me realize that I don't have a best friend. I have tons of friends, bros, buddies, and plenty of close friends but noone I could call my BEST friend. I gotta tell you I think I am sad about it too.
I am talking about a person (not your spouse) that you talk to everyday, and see a few times a week. I am talking about the person you are a lock to hang out with and if you are going somewhere it's a foregone conclusion that they are going too. Your road dog.
I used to, for sure. Now I have a few people I may go hang out with but there isn't a single friend that I talk to everyday. Some of the problem is that I live 30 minutes away from most of my friends but 30 minutes really isn't that far. I don't even think about a single friend every day let alone see one.
I suspect that many of the younger OTers have one but I bet many of the older, married (especially with kids) OTers will realize they don't either.
Is the BEST friend a dying breed?

If you asked me who it was I would say my friend Megan even though we hardly talk anymore, it just feels mandatory to say her after all the years in high school.
I do belive that best friends are something you lose as you get older they are replaced by spouses and kids.
My bff for the past two years has been Raiden :)
Who wants to make bff jewlery with me?

I am lucky enough to have 5 people who I consider my best friends. I am 99.9% sure they feel the same about me.

hmm got like 4 or 5 ppl i would consider my best friends. a few of which i see a couple times a year and a few that i see at least once a week.
if i talked to one of my friends every single day i think that would be weird and prolly annoying.

Lets say your on the job... You're on a patrol, your texting your wife when you accidently run over and kill a local scumbag crackhead. Absolutely nobody saw you do it. Besides the OBV answer of "nobody", Which friend would you feel safe/safest telling? thats your "best" friend. Just because you dont see/talk to him everyday, doesnt change his title.

see I would think that seeing someone a couple times a year def disqualifies them as a best friend.

I'm pretty much the same way. Every best friend I've ever had I've always remained in contact with and talk to on a daily/weekly basis. Three of my best friends I've been friends with since age 5-6.

by your definition i'm not sure if i do have a best friend. but if someone were to ask me who my best friend was, i would snap-insta say my friend John. we've been friends since we were like 4 or 5. hung out all the time growing up, same sense of humor, same birthday even lol. but now we live 2 hrs apart and he's all settled down with a wife and a kid. we talk a couple times a week, still hang out at least ever month or two, go out and drink, catch a Royals game or whatever, but i guess i have a lot more regular old friends than once best friend now

Through thick and thin, even though Witten tries to drive us apart

I still talk to my friend Anthony that I went to school with from 8th grade on up. After school we worked together and shared an apartment for a while, but I didn't get along with his gf too much. He wound up marrying her and slowly she drove a wedge between us. I give him a call once a month to see whats up. I probably have 2 or 3 other friends I am closer to now than I am with Anthony, but he'll always be like a brother to me.

Yes I do. Known him for quite some time through a mutual friend and found out we liked all the same shit. If he were a girl, he'd be my soul mate. No homo tho.

I don't think it should disqualify them. I'm in the 3-4 people I'd call best friends boat, but one of them moved to Scotland for a couple years for grad school (I live in San Francisco), no way I hang out with him every day, but I'd still consider him one of my best friends.
