A friend is someone we turn to when our spirits need a lift. A friend is someone we treasure for our friendship is a gift. A friend is someone who fills our lives with beauty, joy, and grace.

Answer 2

some of the same you mentioned but they have got to have good self-esteem.

Plus, I don't trust them until the trust is earned. A lot of times we meet a person who we feel we can trust because you get it off during your first meet and everything went well. However, every body puts on an act during the first several meets. So, please take some time to get to know the person before you trust or give out to much personal information that can turn around hurt you later.

This goes for boy and girlfriend relationship.

A real friend is someone that you've described. Unfortunately, not many of us manage to make really good friends - but mostly acquaintances.

Don't look too hard though, you might not be able to see the wood for the trees!

And don't trust too easily either!
