Who was your first best friend?
I was a solitary lad for most of my life. I usually had close friends as opposed the best friends until I went to college, then I met Mary.

Who have been some of the most influential people in your life?
My Industrial Arts teacher, my mother, my math teachers, that really hot art teacher… about all of my influential people have been teachers – maybe that was why I wanted to be a teacher.

Do you usually have one best friend or a lot of close friends?
I’ve reverted back to my old ways and I have a lot of close friends, but no best friends. I guess I just don’t have anyone I can be that close without being married to that person. Yeah, I know your best friend should be your spouse, but there are things you do with best friends, things you tell them that you would never tell a spouse.

Do you believe people of the opposite sex can be best friends and not lovers?
Yes, I’ve been best friends with someone of the opposite sex without being lovers. Best friends are a different type of people, you don’t see them in the same way you see other people.

Have you ever fallen in love with a friend?
Yes, in fact I fell in love with Mary deeply. That is one reason we drifted apart, it just didn’t work out for either of us though the feelings were mutual.

Be friendly, join the Friday Five.
