    someone who is a lot of fun. also that person will be there for you through thick and thin as well as asking for help when he/she needs it. also, honesty. a liar is never a friend!

    FAKE VS. REAL

    FAKE FRIENDS: Never ask for food.
    REAL FRIENDS: Are the reason you have no food.

    FAKE FRIENDS: Call your parents Mr./Mrs.
    REAL FRIENDS: Call your parents DAD/MOM.

    FAKE FRIENDS: Bail you out of jail and tell you what you did was wrong.
    REAL FRIENDS: Will sit next to you saying “Damn … we really messed up … but that sure was fun!”

    FAKE FRIENDS: Never seen you cry.
    REAL FRIENDS: Cry with you.

    FAKE FRIENDS: Borrow your stuff for a few days then give it back.
    REAL FRIENDS: Keep your stuff so long they forget it’s yours.

    FAKE FRIENDS: Know a few things about you.
    REAL FRIENDS: Can write a book about you, with direct quotes from you.

    FAKE FRIENDS: Will leave you behind if that is what the crowd is doing.
    REAL FRIENDS: Will kick the whole crowds *kitten* that left you.

    FAKE FRIENDS: Will knock on your front door.
    REAL FRIENDS: Walk right in and say “I’M HOME!”

    FAKE FRIENDS: Are for awhile.
    REAL FRIENDS: Are for life.

    FAKE FRIENDS: Say they are too busy to listen to your problems, but when it comes to them they expect you to have all the time in the world.
    REAL FRIENDS: Not only kick everything out of their schedule to listen to what’s wrong, but help come up with vindictive plans to make you feel a whole lot better!

    FAKE FRIENDS: Make you say sorry when you want to talk to them at odd hours of the night, or even just hang out at odd hours.
    REAL FRIENDS: Come right over and hang out with you, until you either fall asleep, or kick them out.

    The ones who think that all the crazy, stupid, immoral and illogical things I do are really cool. And who will definitely be there when it all blows up in my face and I need a shoulder to cry on. You two girls know who you are :drinker:

    A have very little friends but a lot of acquaintances. To me a friend is someone you can count on, someone you can trust. A friend wants the best for you and will be brutally honest. when needed. They will not ask for anything in return and someone you can grow with. I don't like fake people who are always nice, I like people around me who are honest. My closest friend is someone I had a crush on. I told her my feelings for her and she destroyed me with no emotion on her face. I felt it harsh at the time and cold, but later she told me that she was really sorry but I really needed to hear what she really felt and did not want me to continue to suffer. It really allowed me to get over her and it showed me how much she cares for me. I feel really happy to have someone like that in my life because she sees that I can go very far with my life and I see the potential in her as well.

    I mean it won't always be good times we do sometimes conflict because of our honesty but having a mature friend also help because you can reason through things. I wish my friend the best and can feel happy for her wherever she goes and whoever she ends up with.

    My closest friends are loyal, funny and we share enough interests to allow us to have a good time together. I think shared interests can't be denied, otherwise how do you build history with a friend if you have nothing in common?

    My good friend calls me out on things and sometimes will tell me I'm being annoying, but loves me and wants to spend time with me anyway. She'll tell me if there's food in my teeth or if my hair looks crazy before going to meet other people. We're honest to each other, loyal, make each other laugh, and make great traveling buddies too.

    This is an IM I got from my Best Friend yesterday:

    Reasons why you're my best friend -
    #052 - You're honest but tactful. Usually.
    #098 - You send me encouraging e-mails at critical moments and I send them to you, too.
    #132 - I appreciate how you ferret out my secrets when I really want to tell you but can't quite bring myself to do it.
    #175 - You know my dark side and I know yours. No judgments.

    a good friend knows your secrets, and you trust implicitly to keep them
    a good friend knows your good side, and bad...and likes you anyway
    a good friend gets your jokes without explanation
    a good friend is comfortable in silence, or having in-depth conversations about everything under the sun
    a good friend is there for you...without expectation or explanation

    I've had many acquaintances in my life...only a handful of good friends...they are more precious than diamonds, and even more rare...I count myself blessed.
