Do you look for certain qualities in your friends?
What do you think makes you a good friend?
How did you become friends with close friends?
I have a small circle of friends. Two i would say has defenelty go to be my Mum and my ex-partners Mum. There everything to me. But i guess my close friends are just someone who is there for me, will listen to things i have to tell them. Make time for me and dont judge me. I think your close friends usually change as you go through life. Ive had so many close friends but the ones i have now, and thats not to many are the best friends i could ever ask for.
Do you look for certain qualities in your friends?
I have to say that - the people I consider to be a close friend - are the people that make me happy in life, that I trust and can rely on in good times and bad, who have never abondoned me or back stabbed me, who I know in my heart feels as strongly about me as I do about them. I think that its important that i surround my self with strong happy people who are very loyal and trustworthy.
What do you think makes you a good friend?
I think i am all that i look for in a friend. It really does take alot for me to consider someone a close friend - but when i do - your my friend for life.

>I think I've chatted to Seraphim more this year than I have with anyone else.
Must be reason for my constant headaches, heh lol
Nah i just have time to talk to my friends... Though these days you proabably think im a right ignorant Biatch!
The majority of my close friends are those I've had since childhood, been through school together/college etc. We've also lived close together for just as long, so when not at school, we were often at each others houses etc. Very strong bond indeed. Then there are friends of these friends, people I've lived with and the odd work colleague I've stayed in touch with. These aren't people I'd consider 'close' friends though.
Outside of that circle the only person I consider a close friend is our resident angel. I agree with Corazon in that talking, empathy, respect and admiration are the key ingredients. As far as talking goes, I think I've chatted to Seraphim more this year than I have with anyone else.

Yeah, I guess loyalty, a good sense of humour, the ability to forgive your mistakes and not hold a grudge. If they are there for you when it counts and will go out of their way to help you without making a big fuss about it.
What do you think makes you a good friend?
Umm loyalty, I'm pretty dependable for the most part. I dunno, it's not something I think about ... I just am the way I am and if people like me then great. Though sometimes I think I can be selfish without realising it.
Several at college and just stayed friends since, another few from Uni, even though one is in Germany and the other lives in Oxford we still keep in touch. One through him managing the local games shop at the time, he has two great kids as well and we often take Ana Maria around to play with them.

Honesty and a down-to-earth character. I like people who don't think they need to pretend to be someone else to impress people. I respect people for having their own opinion.
What do you think makes you a good friend?
Listening without judging and generally being around to help out or even just lend a sympathetic ear. Having fun and sharing interests is another thing that springs to mind.
