I have my girlfriend, who is more than a friend, but a companion in the sense of friendship in many, many ways. I also a friend of whom I consider to be more of a brother than a simple friend - we grew up together. I then have another friend, of whom is neighbor, and is in many methods, again, more of a brother than a friend.

And that's that. My girlfriend and two friends that are more brothers than simple friends.

I have some associates and the like, but I never seem to think of them as being real close, or bonded, or understanding, or anything deeper than face-value friends. They're familiar, and I can often times talk and enjoy time with them, but it never seems to be quite the same as with my girlfriend, for obvious reasons, and my two best friends.
