It depends on whether you have levels of friends... I personally have 3 levels:
1. Acquaintances - The largest group. It is composed of people that I like hanging out with but would not confide in. I love this type because the relationship is not complicated.
2. Good Friends - Small group. It is composed of people I've known for a long time and can talk to about anything. I know that they really know me no matter what others may think or may say. Only down side, is that you really have to cultivate these relationships because there are some expectations on both sides.
3. Best friends/Soul Mates - Only one or two people. These are people that you seem to have a spiritual connection with. Mine is my spouse.

Sometime who is there when I need then, who would never hurt me on purpose or lie to me unless it was to protect me in someway, and who always has my back no matter what (even if I'm wrong). They're not necessarily there all the time, but when I need a friend or helping hand; they're always there for me. Sometimes it's just someone to talk to or a crying shoulder to lean on. Others it's a place to stay when you're evicted for an out of control party or bond ;) As long as they're loyal and they don't talk behind your back, they have potential.

a friend is:
someone you can count on thru both good times and bad.
someone who will always be there for you.
someone you can tell your deepest secrets to and you know that he/she will never betray your trust.
someone who will listen to you badmouth your mate, but never, ever offer a poor opinion of that same person.
someone who will go clothes shopping with you and tell you which outfits really do not suit you.
someone who will hold you when the doctor's diagnosis is cancer.
someone who will understand your fear and help you work through it.
someone who will shave her head when you lose your hair.
someone who will sit up nights with you when you can't sleep.
someone who not only stands up for you when others are putting you down but stands with you.
someone who will be happy for you when you get a promotion, or a raise, and she didn't.
someone who makes me strive to be a better person than i am
it goes on and on..........i just hope that i am as good a friend to my friends as i want my friends to be to me.
[my bestest, bestest friend in the whole wide world is my man!]

A friend is someone you share a bond with. A friend never betrays you, does not talk bad about you, always have your back. A friend is fun to hang out with. That is the ideal friend, but no one is perfect.

To me, a friend is someone you can rely on. Someone who's there for you, someone you can talk to. Someone you can trust, someone you can kid around with. Someone who likes you the way you are and doesn't try to change you. Someone who doesn't treat you badly on purpose.
A friend is someone who you can go to knowing they will keep your secret a secret.
That's my definition, anyway.

Brutal honesty; stands by you even when you are at your lowest of lows; loves you for you and would never ask you to change a thing; loves the guy/ girl you date because you do

A friend is a member of your family that was chosen, not randomly assigned or created genetically (or whatever you believe in).
