Quite easy; \n1) a)make sure your friend does not move away and make sure you dont move\n   b)Talk with your friend regularly\n   c)have fun with your friends (play games, go watch movies; just hang out)\n\n2) if your friend has moved and you cannot move to where your friend have moved to:\nkeep contact with your friend (phone, email, talk/messenger, etc.)\n\nNEVER loose contact with your friend and your friendship should always maintain great! \n\nI hope you will have a great time with your best friend.

Be there for him, show him that you care. Show him what a good friend you can be, just show that you always have his back.

If you have to work to make them happy then you shouldn't be calling them your best friend. I've had the same best friend for 13 years (Since we were about 8 or 9) and all I've done was be there for her when she needed me. If they want something more from the friendship then maybe they're asking too much. Just do what you can and what you can't do, if they're your best friend they'll understand.

Well, have you tried talking to her? you must tell her how much she means to you... and how she's hurting you now. you care for your best friend , but that doesn't mean she can control you around and being a pain in the neck. So tell her that you want to still be best friends with her (because you care and love her) but SHE has to change.\n\nOr, could there be a problem that she hasn't told you yet? Maybe she's acting differently becoz she's under peer pressure (or other problems) and subconsciously doesn't realize what she's doing to you.. and also not recognizing it as a problem. Talk to her and figure it out together.\n\nAnother thing, i think that you can't expect somebody to be the same forever. I have a best friend of 8 years, and now she's changed and become more hostile. I dun like much of her new self, but i accepted it. If she offends me then i'll tell her straight. There'll be a quarrel or so.. but we'll always make up the next day. And though we're not as close as before, we are still best friends and can come up to each other with problems.\n\nGood luck with your best friend! Sometimes, we have to let go to gain something.. It could be a little space between you both, or something else. I think it's best not to break the friendship.

I think that every friend has the potential to be a best friend.  A best friend, in my opinion, knows the good and the bad about you and still loves you just the same.  A friend can be just an acquaintance that you shared a chance meeting with where you two discussed things that you have in common.  \nSometimes it takes awhile to get to know a person.  Best friends know you inside and out and you truly have a special bond.

Best friends can last; friendship, like all relationships require work, and an understanding that both parties will (and must) change and adapt - some will grow together, some will grow apart.

This is always a tricky situation, and its often feared that the friendship might be ruined if the other person doesn't feel the same way. I think that if you two are 'best friends' and really close and have a healthy relationship, then if he doesn't feel the same way, maintaining the friendship should be easy.\n\nI think you should tell him and for all you know he could be feeling the exact same way, and having the same fears! So take the risk. If you don't then you are risking a really good chance to be with someone in a relationship that you really care for.\n\nPlan the right way to do it for you- whether that be on the phone, face to face, through a hand written letter, email or msn...whichever is best for you, the point is that you do it and get it out in the open of your relationship. \n\nJust remember of all the great possibilities, that's why you should do it.

You still have e-mail,telephones and the postal service.\nEven if you can't be as close to the person you like as you want to be,you can try to keep his friendship by staying in communication. It's always good to have friends and maybe the situation will change in the future.

Nothing. You became best friends as you were, and in most relationships, once established, we typically try to change what we 'liked/disliked => settled for.  So, you continue to be yourself, and let your best friend continue to being the same.

Will you always be my best friend?

I do not believe any one stays best friends forever...\nThe reason being people change in their views, their habits, they marry, they move, they have kids, they divorce, they have financial problems or drug problems or marital problems and ones life is always so much more difficult or easy than someone elses and that can cause friction in friendships...\nSo no matter how long you have been friends, there is no guarantee it will last...

I think you should confide in a diary or journal or something like some previous answer told you to do. It really lifts the weight off your shoulders once you've written your feelings down. I mean, unless you dont keep your memories written down, then you should tell your 2nd best friend/a close friend who doesnt have any idea who your best friend is, so that the person you tell doesnt tell your best friend and screw up your friendship. Just like what some other person said. Or, if you do have a trusting friendship that'll be sure to last for a kachillion years (again, an idea from another answer), then you might just be able to tell your friend. That's why they call them best friends forever right? Nothing'll come between them

STAY FRIENDS...I ruined the relationship I had with my best friend because I LOVED the way he made me feel. We started dating and we ended up realizing that we were already too close and could not connect romantically. The good thing is, is that we were able to save our friendship and things are good between us. But there is nothing better than having that closeness between you and a friend. Relationships change all of that!
