A FRIEND is someone who you know well enough to talk to and make plans with, and obviously someone you enjoy spending time with. However, a friend is not someone you trust with your most guarded secrets. Your family doesn't know this person incredibly well (on a personal level). A friend is someone who you maybe wish you knew better-- there are always things you can learn about them. Sometimes it might be awkward (not generally), but you have a good time together.
A BEST FRIEND is a person who you think of more as a sibling than a friend. They feel like family (not only to you, but to your immediate--and maybe even extended family as well). You talk to them about e v e r y t h i n g . You relate to them much more than you do to a normal friend and know that they won't tell your secrets to anyone. You are such good friends that you don't even have to think about what he/she thinks of you cause you guys are such good friends that it doesn't really matter. You will be friends n o m a t t e r w h a t. Sometimes you may drift apart (i.e. new friends -- like freshman year when in many schools, lots of new kids come in). But if you drift apart, the way to tell that this person is your friend is, you find yourself constantly comparing your new friends to this person (your bff). You two are p e r f e c t m a t c h e s.
Not really sure if everyone will agree... but I basically think it depends on who you are, because there are lots of ways to define friends and best friends. Still, most people that I know of think that a best friend is someone that you're really close to and would tell every secret and hang out together all the time. While the friend is just someone you like a lot, or a little... that supports you or that you support, not as much as your best friend, maybe... but perhaps you both like eachother a lot but don't hang out together that much.
heres the dealio, always go for friends with benefits.
friends means ur not gettin nothin, lovers means u actually have to care for the person, but friends with benefits is the best of both worlds...if ya catch my drift
one hitch to above answer: Doesn't one care about one's friends!
Perhaps F +B is least of both worlds?
A 'friend with benefits' is more a friend you can 'have sex with', (without it becoming an emotional attachment sexually,) as opposed to a lover, whom should be both friend and something more intimate.
A lover (sexual) is a conditional relationship, where a best friend (Platonic) is, or should be an unconditional relationship.
A friend can be a lover and a lover can be 'just' friends! Sexual intercourse is involved with a lover, mental and emotional intercourse are more the realm of a friend. Hence, the categories need not be mutually exclusive!

they both ur homies
girl friend is a friend that is girl and not a best friend and girl friend is best friend
mostly.. Answer Having a best friend is being able to share in those things you both enjoy doing together. They are the ones who you would turn to for any help or advice you may need. They are a good companion to share part of your life with. You are quite right in saying the relationship difference is physical. Hopefully the close bond you share with your lover will be within the bounds of marriage. It is private and something to be cherished between you both. There is always that best friend relationship which exists between lovers, and though best friend relationships can and often do contain love, it is only platonic.(Free from physical desire).
a close friend is someone you can talk to, and do things with. A best friend is someone you can tell anything to.
Just say it. It is your cousin, not your lover. It is his best friend, not his pole smoker...
Of course it does! And then you have to decide between your girlfriend or your girlfriend's best friend to be your lover.
