What's worse, losing your best friend or losing a girl?

I've recently started to drift apart from my best friend, who I've known since I was like four years old. it didn't bother me at first, but It's starting too now because we basically ignore each other and hang around with different people.

I've split up with girls before and not cared, but this is bothering me like crazy (heterosexually:P), as I feel like I'm losing my best bud

Although its hard spliting with a girl (I'm going through that now). Its so much harder to lose your best friend. Someone who you've spent years together is very hard to replace.

Losing a girl is worse D: Mah friends are meh yo

Finding a girl to date is easy. Finding a person who can be a real close friend is hard.

Edit: Well actually I suppose if I lose my current girlfriend it would be real devestating since she is my best friend... So I guess its going to vary from person to person.

Girls come and go but true friends are hard to come by. If I lost my best friend I don't know what I'd do to be honest. That's not to say I don't have other friends, but nobody knows me like he does.

What if that girl is your best friend? :oMAILER_DAEMON

For me a breakup has always been worse. This is mostly because I've never lost a best friend, but instead have had all of them slowly drift out of my life as each of us has matured. I also tend to become really close friends with current girlfriends, so the sudden breakups tend to hurt much more/much longer.

for my current situation it would be harder to lose my girl because she's like my best friend and awesome girlfriend, yet if it was someone I didn't love as much then it would definiatly be loosing a good friend for no reason

man, girls come and go, but best friends are forever.

hurry man try to salvage that friendship quick

tbh I'd say losing a best friend is worse

people argue that even in cases of marriage your spouse is your best friend, but with the divorce rate over 50% in the United States, I would honestly put more stock in my best friend

my girlfriend is my best friend.

I'll have to go with losing a bestfriend, and it is about to happen soon I presume. This is not going to end well =/Welis

I did lose friends before, but i guess friends come and go.

honestly, i dont know...

Breaking up is worse for me, because a relationship includes bff-ness for me. So I lose both. I've drifted away from friends before, but nothing a friend has ever done can match the hurt of a breakup.XilePrincess

This, most my relationships are with friends, so I generally have a strong friendship with them, that gets even stronger as the relationship progresses. Losing that is a very difficult blow to me.

everyone has some sort of heartbreak, it sucks but you get over it. losing a good friend is losing one of your own. not cool

It depends if you are talking about friends, or best friends, because it makes a difference to me. I have lost friends before, and it was not a big deal, but I almost lost my best friend because of my ex, and that was very bad. In the end, it worked out because he was there for me when it ended. It can be tough if your significant other is also your best friend, but in my case, when it was done with her, my best friend was the one who made me feel better. Would be a lot harder to replace him than a girl.

It's much tougher losing touch with friends imo - but much nicer when you run into them by chance into them later in life, and often less awkward than ex's :)

Alright, you lost me. I'm not quick enough today. The only association I can make with Eiffel Tower is... and I don't think you're...

[QUOTE="Atmanix"] Depending on how nice the caboose is I might not want to share the train.

Losing a friend is losing a big part of your life, but losing a girl is losing a big part of your life as well as a sexual outlet. Losing a girl is worse. :P

I agree with losing a friend, I've had a loss on both, and losing the girlfriend was pretty bad, but losing a best friend was awful.

Well I have a few best friends. My boyfriend was always one of them and we started dating and we are even closer, so losing him would hurt really really bad.

Depends on the friend and the girl, but if you've been friends with someone since you were 4, that's the worst.

Well, considering my girl is also my best friend, losing my girl would definitely suck for me...

My best friend would be much much harder to replace than a girl. Oddly enough I am extremely comfortable around girls even if I just met them but I feel awkward around guys that I do not know well.
