    Three, sometimes four but three is what would come to mind first.

    Loads of really close mates, but probably 3 that I could count on wherever, whenever.

    For me, people who I've considered to be my best friend and have felt likewise never live up to title once we're no longer bound by a particular circumstance such as Uni, College, etc. Whilst I put in the effort to maintain the friendship, they never bother to reciprocate so things naturally fall apart...

    maybe three. could be five, but the other two are not-as-best-friends-ish, so i guess they don't count.

    I used to have 2 best mates but one passed away- we were like family because we were together since birth.
    However I have many good mates that I hang with.

    Then you should choose the "0" option.

    However you should start having friends.

    Used to be 2 but I now have 1 - she's practically my sister, we've been friends since birth and even though we don't actually speak much it feels like we haven't been apart when we do

    I would say 4 but 2 I would really really consider best friends because I've known 1 for 17-18 years she's like my sister and the other for 4-5 years.
