I have a work friend. We both started the same day and our contracts end the same day but she may have the option of getting an extension. Since the first week we've hung out, went to lunch together, etc. She tells me what's bothering her. I've been to her house and meet her family (love love her kids.) My daughter told me she felt my friend was becoming my best friend. I've never really had a best friend before. I'm 10 years older than her. But it doesn't really matter I guess. I'm just not used to having friends.

My BFF is 9 years older than me. We met at work (both teachers) years ago. I'm so thankful I picked that job! I was torn between two schools when we moved to a new area. I can't imagine how different my life would be if I didn't meet her!

My best friend is 13 years older than me. But we get along great and it's never been an issue.

My BFF is about 8 years older than I am. Never really think much about it either. We are both weird and have the same thoughts on life and all the important stuff.
My best work friends are all younger than I am now that I think about it. For a whole year they all thought I was closer to their age anyway!

My best friend is one day shy of 13 years older than I am (I'm 55, she's 68). We met 15 years ago on the soccer sidelines. My oldest and her youngest were on the same U6 team and became best friends. My D was born when I was 35; her D was born when she was 48! Our girls are still friendly but they're away at college and rarely see each other, but our friendship is going strong.

Nope. She's 3 months older than me. But we've been friends since we were in 5th grade, so it's not surprising we are close in age.
The friends I've made as an adult vary more widely in age - from about 10 years younger than me to 10-15 years older than me. Actually one of my best friends at work is literally old enough to be my mother - her daughter and I are the same age.

My neighbor was one of my very good friends. She was nearly 50 yrs older than me and a lot like my grandmother. Sadly she passed away last year. I'm afraid I'll never get used to other people living in her house, but she would be thrilled to know there are toddlers there now. She adored kids.

BFF is 8 years older than me. We have been through so much together and we still can laugh and carry on like two little kids. My life would be empty without her.

My best friend is 10 years younger than me ... it's freaky how well we get along considering that I'm married with kids and she's single with no kids ... it just works for us since we have wine in common

I have 2 very close girlfriends that are 7 and 8 years younger than I, and I have a fairly close friend who is about 8 years older, as well.
I am also friends with several of my mom's friends, as well. They are all 20-25 years older than I am.
My BFF is only 6 months younger, but, I love having friends of all ages! I especially love being friends with older gals. I appreciate their wisdom, maturity, and their calm demeanors. :-)

One of my best friends is 22 years younger than me (she's 27 and I'm 49). We have the love and obsession for music in common and we used to work together at an LSS and that's how we met. Sometimes we'll meet for dinner but she doesn't scrap anymore. She came over the other night and I scrapped and she knitted =)

My closest friends are the same age as me but our relationship has nothing to do with our ages. I'm very close with another friend who is old enough to be my mother, and I have very good friends, one is approx 15 years younger than me and the other, approx 15 years older, recently told me I'm the closest friend she's ever had.
For each of these relationships, it's not about age. It's about a heart connection and knowing you can trust them and they are there for you no matter what.

Mine is only 8 years older than me. Not too much of a split I suppose.

I have always felt more comfortable around people 10-20 years older so with the exception of my SO all my relationships are with older than me people.

I am 12 years older than my best friend. She likes to remind me I am closer to her mom's age than her.
We joke that we are each other's "sports spouses"...we go to baseball games, football games all without the husbands. Its our thing.

I'm only a couple of years younger than my BFF's MOTHER. He's 37; I'm about to turn 54. But I've never really noticed the age difference.
