People may have different principles in making friends . As a proverb goes , a life without a friend is a life without a sun . In my opinoin it is true that everybody needs friends .Namely ,without a friend ,you will feel lonely and gloomy . Suppose you are in trouble , whom will you turn to for help if you have no friends ? And you may also want to share your feelings and communicate your opinons with someone , In this case we find it necessary to make friend .But we need principles for making friends ,what's your principle in making friends?

i don't choose friends. i don't really care about who i make friends with but i make sure i don't let them influence me a lot. well, i don't choose friends but i choose who i go with. i choose to go with my friends who happen to be good influences just in case i'd be influenced. i also try to be a good influence to those friends who might take wrong turns at times and make sure i help them set their priorities right.

A friend should be someone who can cheer us up when we are down, someone who can tell us whats wrong and correct when we are out of mind to make a decision, someone who is trustable to share certain things that cannot be shared with ou parents. When someone finds the true friend, your friend make your world bright and joyful when you fell disappointed. I am preety sure many of us feel more confortable to share something secretive with a friend. I want a friend who is loving and caring.

I prefer quality over quantity. That's my simple principle in making friends. I realized when I went abroad, I don't need a lot of friends. I'm so lucky to have these quite few friends of mine who stood by me through thick and thin as they say. We've been friends since we were in High School, and right now we're so far away from each other but the friendship is still there, it's still growing and even getting stronger. Right now, I still make friends with new people. But the bonding is totally different from my old friends. They don't know the real me, it's just the old ones who know me inside out. =) Happy Mylotting youetme! :)

I do also agree that everyone needs a friend. It is good to have friends and it is also healthy in my opinion. Being alone is not necessarily a bad thing but you don't want to be alone too much. Life has its ups and downs and it is nice when you can share good times with others and they can also help you feel better when you are down. I would say that my principles for making friends is that I just want an equal partnership and to share special times with.

Well,from my feeling.You know,maybe some guys are excellent but they just can not be my good friends.I just do not have a certain principle.I meet somebady,and we feel good about each other,and at last we are close friend,and then the friendship go on.To some extend,it is much like that you meet your lover.It is the amazing part of life,isn't it?

Well,youeme honestly,i like making friends,yes,i'm so agree with you,friend is important in our life.My golden rule is you want somebody be your friend first you must be a friend.When friend in need you can help in time.we can't grasp a friend,it's basic that you treat she or he loyal and honest.

Normally what i feel for a person its 99%. My encounter with a person normally ends up to be my friend. If at our first meeting I am not comfortable with that person I never bother to get in touch with him.her because I alreaqdy feel if he/she can be my good friends. There are people who I encounter that are trying her best to keep in touch with me but i my senses says a different thing then I will not bother to keep in touch with him/her. I always trust what my instincts tells me because its very reliable.....
