noam is 36 and a bit of a disaster in life, but a good-ish friend. i had a few different ideas one involving his best friend marrying and then later divorcing his ex-fiance (who was much better suited for the friend than noam), a best friend from all the way back in the day when he was living in california trying to make it as a musician who still encourages him to do his music thing, or a more practical best friend who slaps his hands and says no, not again when he walks into his repeated mistakes (because he does that a lot). noam is not good with personal space and has a hard time understanding other people's emotions unless they are explicitly said or their body language is easy to read, so someone who has either learned to help him out with that or is okay with him just being a total disaster would be extra amazing.
