Is it normal that my best friend is not close to me?

I have not got a lot of friends, just a few. Most of my friends are people who I socialize with at the university and I'm pretty sure that I will forget almost all these "friends" when I graduate.
But I have one best friend whom I don't want to lose. He is almost perfect. We lived in the same dorm for a while. That was very good. Now, we live in different dorms.
We have similar interests and work on several projects together. But recently, I had a thought that if there were not any projects, he wouldn't hang out with me.
I feel great even when I'm speaking with him. But when I ask "How are you?" I wish to hear the details... not just "fine" or "good".
I want to get closer to him (don't know if it is normal for a guy), but how to tell about it?

    Yes, that sounds normal. The easiest way to make someone open up to you is to open up yourself. Share some details from you're own life.

    Many men are afraid of sounding like pussies. It's a shame. They don't open up to you. Like females do. That's why I have my female friends to have deep, meaningful, conversations, and my male ones to goof around with.

    I have the same problem. Some guys idea of bonding is just having fun with eachother, they don't want to get into the minutia of life. But you never know, he may open up when you never expect it. So far that's what's happened with me.
