My best friend was born in June 1988. I was born in April 2000. Are we close in age?

While both of you were born within the same century, there is a significant age gap between you and your best friend. You are 12 years younger than your best friend, so you are not particularly close in age.

I was born in 2000, it is not the same century as 1988. Silly.

My mistake! I apologize for the error. You are correct, 2000 is in the same century as 1988. In that case, you and your best friend are about 12 years apart in age, so you are not particularly close in age.

ok, if my friend were close to my age, how old will he need to be?

If your friend were close to your age, he would need to be born in or around the year 2000. This would make him approximately 21 years old or younger.

But can i still be friends with a person born in 1988 and I born in 2000?

Yes, of course! Age should not be a barrier to friendship. It is entirely possible to be friends with someone who is older or younger than you. Age differences can bring unique perspectives and experiences to a friendship, making it even more enriching. As long as you both have mutual respect, understanding, and enjoy each other's company, age should not be a factor in your friendship.
