Trust is important to me too. So is honesty Stella - with real friends I need to feel I could say anything I wanted without offending them (bit naive sometimes lol) I have lots of acquaintances I really like but I'm like you Mags and don't consider many people true mates but then I have a mate I haven't seen for years I'd still think of as one of the best II've had and another person I've not even met that I'd consider one of my best ones. Lynda - I'm like you and make up my mind very quickly and a lot of the time it's about how I felt when I first met them. Course you liked me - I'm lovely lol. Mags! Two-facedness is the thing I hate most. I don't mind having a bitch with friends (quite enjoy it lol) but what I despise is people calling others behind their backs and then being nice to their faces grrrr:) |

All of the above - but most of all I think trust is the most important thing. A true friend you can trust with anything...and you can trust their word. There is nothing worse than believing someone to be a friend and they turn out to be two faced. I am quick to form acquaintance but slow to form real friendship. I suppose the number of true friends I consider I have can be counted on one hand Magsxxx |

OOOhhhh nice thread David, I always thought you should be honest with your friends..... But most of mine wanted to hear otherwise.......... I now know who my friends are........and who are just wasting my time!!!!!!!! Friends should be honest with each other..........and if you don't want to know.........don't ask......!!!! I have never lied to any of my so called friends............but if you want to be told the truth..... Have loads of 'friends' who pop up when things are.......tough. My real friends know me really well,I'm so glad to say. No nonsense..... Stel. |

A mixture I suppose, but loyalty is always a quality to admire. (No, I'm not in the Mafia) My Momma always said friends were like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get. |

Is it someone you can have a laugh with, someone you can gossip with or someone you can really talk to? Or a bit of each? Is it differences or shared experiences that work for you or just something about someone? When do you think you've made a mate out of someone - does it take time with you or do you sometimes click instantly? |
