professor A friend is someone who believes in you when you fail to believe in yourself.

1. Dependability

2. Honesty...and brutal, when needed, with it.

3. Someone who knows your strengths and faults, and loves you anyway for who you are.

(Don't give me credit for that last piece of wisdom...it's off of a kitchen magnet that I saw, and it stuck with me for it's awesome truth.)

confused

Someone who listens w/o judgement.
Willing to accept your oddities and flaws, and quit okay when you notice their's.
Doesn't jump to random conclusions basid upon other's stories - aka hear say!

More or less, that's what I think, though I'd like to add:
Not a flake (sticks to lunch dates and stuff)
Not overly dramatic all the time.

I have seen and experienced these in a few people. I stinks when you like someone for their personality, but then realize you just can't depend upon them to show up @ the coffee shop or even call if they are going to be late. doh

hmm ..

Loving.
Forgiving
Faithful or dependable.

I dont expect honesty cos when you are friends a lot of it is understood. But there is also some amount of personal pace that needs to be given and hence 100% honesty all the time is not something i would make mandatory.

1 : Sitting in jail with you saying " I think we really screwed up this time............ But it was fun."

2 : The first person coming up with ideas for revenge if someone did you wrong.

3: Always has a full cooler AFTER last call.

What do you think?


Trust..................... That you know that whatever you say will remain a secret with them alone

Openness ............ They accept you as you are, no preconceived ideas, see your faults as irrelevant to the friendship

Dependability........ They are always there for you, no matter when or why

A true friend is someone who you may not see for weeks but when you do meet up it's as though you were continuing a conversation from yesterday.
