Hi vmarshall! They say to know a person better, look at the kind of friends he has. I have never thought this makes sense a lot now than I used to while growing up. I certainly do not look for colors, race or religion in the friends I have now. But as I was saying to my sons look for the friendship that would give them the chance to learn, to share and to grow positively as I have in mine.

A friend should be very trustworthy and someone you have many things in common with. My best friend and I are so close that we can practically finish each others sentences :)

A good friend may not share every detail of every second of their life, but they do try to be clear about their intentions. This means that they try to present an accurate picture of who they are and of different situations. When something doesn't seem right, they let you know.

Honesty and unconditional friendship is all I ask for. Everything else like all types of relationships build with time.

I like a friend that is very funny and always tells the truth.A loyal friend is a great friend that will always be there when you need them the most.Qualitites that I dislike in a friend are someone that does no show emotions and have a sence of humour.People that lie cheat and steal are people that are not good people to have a friendship with.its hard to tell at first all the qualities that a potential friend had untill you are with them for a while, after a few weeks of getting to know them you will know what kind of peron they are and their good and bad traits.

Hhmm... I don't have really a specific criteria...:) But since I dislike liars, I want honest friends...:) They don't have to be smart, good looking,rich, famous, funny, etc...:) A true friend who is true to his or her words and to himself or herself is enough for me...:)
