I'm of the type that wants to have a close relationship that isn't based on sexual attraction. It's not about slumber parties and sharing secrets. It's about knowing there's a constant in your life that isn't there because he/she is related to you or wants you for your body, but because he/she loves/respects you for who you are and chooses to be your friend. I think it's an ideal for a lot of people and that's why it's a part of a lot of popular fiction.
When you're "like ten" usually your "friends" are only your friend because you share interests, and you can gain and lose friends on a weekly basis. My parents both have friends they've been friends with for decades! Now that they're very "settled" in their marriage, they definitely need that other voice in their lives to listen to.
I'm starting to feel like the old-fashioned notion of a friend is dying. You can't search for a friend on the internet because there is always this underlying sexuality to it that's disturbing. If I ever do find a best friend, I'll be sure never to take advantage of him/her.
Is it normal to know you're nobody's best friend?

That's pretty cynical . . .
