what are some concrete ways to build friendship with someone? are there any ways to slightly accelerate the process of bonding/ making friends?

this sounds childish, but inside jokes make you feel like you a make a stronger friendship. when you can bring up a funny memory, it makes u feel like u have been friends forever. but inside jokes can't be forced! they are little things that happen naturally. they are fun! i have had many belly laughs from them.

I have a very good friend who told me a long time age that " If you want a friend ,you have to be a friend. Friendship is a 2 way street, you have to be able to listen as well as talk. You have to be able too sit and listen, even when you are not sure what your friend is talking about. Give and be able to receive comfort in times of need. Friendships builds around all of this and more if you are truly being a friend than you have already bonded. Take your time, as a true friendship goes on for a lifetime. You don't want or need to accelerate a friendship, just be able to be a friend each and every day and treasure what you have in a friend.

There has to be some kind of chemistry between friends, and I do not mean sexual. There has to be a bond in the beginning and spending more time with someone doing things in common bring about more of a bond. Sharing secrets and details about each others lives is good. Trust is a biggy in a close relationship too.

Sharing experiences... this is the problem with friendship it really does take time.
My fiance and I moved just over 2 years ago and I am increasingly distressed by the fact that I took my old friends for granted and now truly appreciate them because we just haven't been able to find the time or the inclination to spend the time it takes to really make many friends...
There can be a fine line between growing a friendship and forcing one... trying to be patient is all I can really suggest That and just spending time together doing THINGS... Things make memories and memories are what make friends.
Good luck :)

A friend would have to be someone who share some common interest, you can completely trust. Takes many years to build a friendship. We have to be giving, forgiving, patient, tolerant, etc. Won't be easy to accelerate a friendship but best to let nature take its course. Actually it's not too different with a spouse as well.

Eat together and make lots of faces, don't call them mean words even while joking, spread happiness as often as you can and never ever use them.
Or live by these three rules.
1:Do it for the good.
Love, work, help, act and support being "It".
2: Give all you can.
Give everything you can to friendships and take all that is offered in kind.
3: Do not use fear.
Don't use fear as crutch, correction or toy. Never instill fear in anyone to include friend, family or self.
I live by these three rules and get along well with others. I have lots of good friends.

Honesty and trust between two people are the most important things to build a friendship on. It helps, too, if you have some things in common.

Confide. When we confide secrets is when we bond. Learning basics about a person's tastes and dislikes. Often to accelerate this type of bonding, you must throw caution to the wind, and be able to lay your heart on the line. I like to learn to trust someone first, before I just slap my soul on the table.

i think what brings depth to a friendship is when there are problems and instead of dumping the friend you take the time and energy to work it out. It brings you closer.
