For the past four years the Guardian’s How we met column has been publishing your tales of true love. Now we want to hear about your friendships too.
Did you and your best friend meet at work? In the pub? When your cars collided or your train was cancelled? Was it like at first sight or did you think, “I wouldn’t trust that person as far as I could throw them”? What did you bond over? Have you ever fallen out – and if so, how did you patch things up?
Tell us everything below. And keep those love stories coming too…
