How long have you and one person been friends and are still in touch? ? Not necessarily lovers but just friends?

My record is 50 years.
 
It would be 33 years for me. We used to work together back in the 80's and have always stayed in touch. He is the type that can get along with anyone, very laid back. TBH, I am the opposite I must confess, I could start an argument in an empty bar.
 
I have three friends which we've been friends since infancy, 47 years, and we are getting together for Christmas :D.
 
Oldest is someone I've been friends with since we were 5. So that's nearly half a century. Our lives have taken dramatically different paths, we've gone years without speaking (we'll wave to each other if we meet on the road somewhere) but whenever we do take the time to meet up, within 5 minutes it's like no time has passed.

Second oldest is a Girl Person, we've been friends for over 35 years. We met on a plane trip from Hell (seriously, she'd left Hell, Michigan that morning) which turned out to be a nearly 20 hour trip. After 15 hours as seatmates, we'd become friends and remain so to this day. I'm going to Thanksgiving Dinner at her and her family's house this year, again.
 
..since 2nd grade.....which would make it around or just over 50 years...
 
These numbers are incredibly impressive. I wish I had friendships from such a long time ago. I moved around a lot growing up so I could never really maintain friendships. My best friend is my older sister, so I'm going to go with 25 years since I've known her since I was born :P.

Outside of her I'll go with 5 or so years. My closest friends at this point are from my time in college. I'm very grateful for them. Hopefully we can make it 30+ years like some of you all.
 
I met my ex when I was 21yrs old; since splitting up we have been friends in the real sense of the word.

We Skype nearly everyday and though living in different countries manage to see each other frequently.

That makes 45 years of devoted contact.
 
42 years and counting. I met my lifelong best friend at school when we were both 14. He was the first person I ever came out to, about a year or so later. He has always been there for me and he has literally saved my life several times. He is by far the funniest person I have ever met. I chat with him on the phone or via Skype almost everyday and we usually meet up once a week. I love him more than anyone in my life ever, and I know he loves me back. :D
 
20+ years, we are childhood friends and I can't imagine losing contact. We don't physically hangout as much but we talk regularly. This friendship started roughly through 3 bloody fist fights and a few arguments but I am glad it lasted.
 
About 38 years, an ex boyf. We are still in contact and have even holidayed together
It's funny, although the friendship is still there any inclination to go to bed together died a long long time ago.
I'm glad, it would have got in the way of the friendship
 
I'm a bit past the Great Divide. I was living in my hometown for almost 45 years and had lifelong friends there, so 45 years. But, I moved away, came out as gay, and lost a great deal of my childhood friends. To be clear, most of my friends were older, by a generation or more.

Today, at 55, I have moved around a lot in the past decade, so have taken on and left behind a few in the changes. There isn't really a close friend I am in touch with from long ago any more. Still call the lady who lived across from me as a kid and who is like a 2nd mom to me, but that is only once or twice a year. I have a few good friends, but not close like I had years back. I'm not sure if it is a different me, or the different dynamic of trying to make new friends when single at 55 and gay.

A lot of my newer friends this last decade just flaked over time, and a friend should be someone you can count on. When he isn't, that really changes the definition.
 
Just over 43 years. We'd known each other beforehand and I'd somehow been invited to a birthday party. But we didn't really become friends until starting a new school in 1973 and being in the same class.
 
10 years, since I moved into the neighborhood.
 
Two people who I met in 1964 so, more than 52 years. I'm more in touch with the one who I met in March of that year. The other one, who I met later in spring 1964, I generally only see when we happen to attend the same event (which happens once-or-so per year).

I had hoped we would be in the "same neighborhood" (no more than an hour apart) within the next year or so but, alas, with a Trump/Pence Supreme Court likely to rule the land before the Twenties, moving to Michigan for retirement is ABSOLUTELY ruled out, unless I see no apparent rush for Republican-legislated-and-governed states to pass laws that beat gay people back into their closets. Freedom of Religion laws will be unconditionally blessed by such a Court, and those laws can kill us.

I have been forming some friendships with a few people I was in high school with - where the friendships didn't really exist originally. (I was a pretty scared kitty in high school.) Some of those would go back to 1961 or 1962, but they're more casual, and I don't count them because of decades of hiatus and noncontact over most of my adult life.
