I am choosing to analyze the relationship that I have with my neighbour best friend, a girl who came to live in my neighbourhood a few months ago. In the beginning, we met through Face book and some neighbourhood barbeque parties and were looking for the similar things; social group, connections with other people, etc. As we got to know each other, we found we were much alike.
