    I have a small problem that I would like peoples opinions on and heres the story lol

    I have always been a bit of a loner and even now I find it hard to get on with people in general. Anyway my friend who I went to school with and who I know about 7 years now is one of my best friends but the thing is we are so close I am starting to think wether it's normal.. We are so alike in many, many ways and since we left shcool we have started to do computer courses together.. We spend 6 hours a day together and even after that I go down to his house for a few hours then most nights he rings me and I will either go back to his house for a few hours again or I will talk to him on the phone for maybe an hour. His girlfriend even says were gay together (as a joke)

    Thing is though neither of us are gay he has a girlfriend and even though I don't, I have never found men attractive atall (infact I actually have a little thing for his sister lol).

    I can honestly say that I am closer to him that I am with my own brothers or any member of my family at that..


    Is this strange that we enjoy each others company so much?

    No I dont think its weird your good friends and enjoy each others company. However I would urge either of you to become to dependant on each others friendship as if things ie changed one of you moved away or became more involved with a girlfriend it could leave quiet a gaping hole in the others life.

    It's not weird - I've a friend with whom I can hang out with for hours on end like that. No other friendship was ever like it.

    What I would say is, make sure that it isn't holding either of you back (in terms of you finding a girlfriend or developing other friendships).

    I am very glad to have a best friend but there were many times when I was over reliant on it - to the point of not having too many other friends and relied on him to go out with all the time (and when he got a gf, he basically did everything with her).

    It's not uncommon, but, as been indicated, it normally doesn't last forever so to speak - often both getting girlfriends, or a new interest, and you end up spending less time together. I wouldn't worry about it though.
