What qualities do you look for in a friend?
We all have different standards when it comes to friendships. Some people like friendships with those who drop in and call regularly, who'll swing by just to catch up, or who'll surprise you with a homemade gift or impromptu party. Others prefer friendships with more independent sorts--the type of people whom, if you don't call them for a few weeks or months, will never feel insulted. Some people enjoy hanging out with those younger than themselves; others like the wisdom and insight of those older than they. Some like active, always-on-the-go, extroverts; others prefer those who are more reserved and comfortable with calm. But what about you?
I look for someone who will listen when I talk. Someone who will help me out if I need it. Oh yeah, and if they lend me money, that'd be great too.
