There's no "guide," no lessons on this. You acquire a best friend, (or best friendS), just being yourself. You're accepted for who you are, & you accept them. Being 100% honest in the things essential to communication, sincerely caring. Share highs & lows mutually. IMMEDIATELY clear up any possible misunderstanding. However, people do change, & it's not always "forever." It's best (especially if you're young) to have "a few good friends." (Also, I feel just a little uncomfortable with "keep" & "yours"...think about it?)

By being the best friend yourself forever will keep best people them with you, and many more.
How do you think, for instance, that your friends are the best friend? What makes them the best in your eyes? For if you can see just that than surely you can also have the same in your person as well.
Friends, alongside being many other things, are also the truest mirrors you can have in your life; they will let you know freely and openly where you are wrong, and where you are right you figure out yourself just by the reason that they are with you. If a friendship can make you appreciate a friend then you can also learn to appreciate other people around, who might need you more, and then you can learn to appreciate your own self better; you can also be your own good friend. This way you might have not only one or two but many other people in your life.
But beware! And check to see if you give your trust to right type of people, for people are not always hypocrite by purpose or upon will, there can also be sincere type of hypocrites coming your way, people who are not sincere to themselves but try to be so to others.

The best way to keep your best friend forever is to do the ff:
1. Don't forget that you are your friend through thick and thin;
2. Always be there to comfort and give advice whenever confronted with problems;
3. Always provide your shoulder to lean on when she needed it;
4. Provide her financial assistance when she is broke;
5. Keep in touch always.

A best friend is forever, without saying. To keep them close and dear to you is the bond you build over the years. A friend is someone who knows all about you and still says to you that he still is your friend. He is a shoulder to lean on, to cry on, to help you up when you fall down walking down the road of life.
It is not what you do to keep them, it is what you don't do to push them away form you. Without you knowing what is going on, the both of you know, without saying a word, without doing anything special, have told each other that they will be your friend for life. There is nothing special you need to do keep them as a friend forever. You both do it out of respect for each other and the love you have for you fellow man. Someone like that is hard to find, but when you do, you have someone who you can depend and they can depend on, no matter what. I will end with this : Friends are something that you cannot have to many of.

Be interesting TO them, and interested IN them. Regularly, by any means available - and be open, for better or worse, but as entertaining as you can be which is always for the better because the world is a sad enough place without adding unnecessary gloom. Care for them, without being a "nanny". And remember, nobody can own anybody. Possessiveness kills more relationships than it keeps. The best gift we can give anyone is yourself - and to help them be free to be themselves, too, whatever the perceived cost to us. That's what make best friends. And it's also why I question the "love" of those who get angry when a lover leaves - but that's another question.

The best way is to talk to them about everything, be patient and always be there for them. If you have a date and your best friend needs you you re-schedule the date. phone them at least once a week and have the time of day for them. That should keep them your mate forever
hope that helped

The best thing to do is to know that your best friend probably won't be your best friend forever. And to know that life goes on with or without your best friend. I know this sounds mean, but that's how it is.

Friends are there in your good and bad times.
I have plenty of friends who are genuinely very good at heart, even though we do not meet for long time we always know that we are always for each other.
Keep your friends in your heart and do tell them what they have brought in your life so that they are aware that they are loved and cherished by you.
All the best.

"Who were we to start with? We were a circle of friends. We understood each other. We knew that in life it all comes down to discipline. We were all very disciplined. We made time for each other. We showed up when we said we were going to show up. We made a point of remembering to call when things were not so good in each other's lives. We never said anything harsh that could be repeated."
- Kitty Carlisle Hart
Just love your friends and don't do anything to them what you won't like for yourself.

I think that maybe you should just chill out. If your best friend is really your best friend then they will stick by you no matter what--you shouldn't have to keep them--they should stay there themselves.
And also be good to your friends and they will stay by you.
