@ankiiiiiii Analogous experiences are fine, as long as you can explain your circumstances and the result, and how it ties in with what's described in a question... Take
interpersonal.stackexchange.com/a/4998/1599 (taking one of my own, as I remember those best, sorry) as an example: It's about brothers, not friends. It's about picking a ride, not dinner... but it explains why the results may be similar. So, if used carefully and judiciously, analogous experience may make excellent back up
