1. Of all the friends you have now, how many of them have you known for more than 10 years?
2. Of the friends you have now, how many of them do you think you'll still be friends with 10 years from now?

1- a little over a dozen (college mainly... few from before that)
2- about the same number, some will trail off, but others will fill in.
good question. i ask myself the same periodically.. and that helps "shape" the pool of friends I keep.

zero on both, i didn't have any friends in high school. the ones i thought i had were shitty. but the ones i have now i doubt will be around a year from now, let alone 10 years from now.

I have 1 friend whom I've been friends with for over 10 years, and we've been good friends since the 2nd grade. We're both 24 now, and even though we lead different lives (almost night and day different), we're still very good friends.
Apart from him, I can see myself being friends with most of the friends I have now even 10 years from now.

I am friends with many of the people with whom I work - I've been there for 6 years; this is, however, a special class of "friend". Should I leave there, many of the things that we hold in common will disappear. I have no doubt that some of us will stay in touch; Christmas Cards, the occasional Email, etc. An extra impediment is that I live 36 miles away.
Excepting this, my answer to Question 1 is "All of them". My answer to Question 2 is "All of them".

I've got a couple of friends I've know since grade school from over 30 years. A couple from about 20 years. Several moving up to 10 years
Total I'd say about 10
2. Of the friends you have now, how many of them do you think you'll still be friends with 10 years from now?
If they don't die by then probably all of them.

I have three best friends that i have known for over ten years but unfortunately my best friend may not survive the next ten... So i think it may only be two ten years from now.

Okay, my turn.
To answer the first question, I have known this one guy for ten years. At first I didn't think we would get along with eah other too much. I met him through another friend (who I thought the friendship would last at least ten years. He just disappeared all of a sudden).
One summer night, we (along with the third guy whose whereabouts are unkown) went to get fake IDs to go to some strip club a few blocks from the Twin Towers (at a time before the terrorists attacked us). It was our first time in a strip club and we bonded. He's just as perverted as I am and he's still a good friend.
To answer the second, I think he will still be around, and perhaps a second guy.

For Cain: I'm sorry to hear that your friend may not be around then.
