Friendship is a two person thing. For making it last forever, both the persons have to nurture it. If you expect he should call and he expects you to do the same, then nobody's gonna call. So one shouldn't expect in friendship. Giving makes a friendship stronger. and yeah its not impossible for friendship to last forever. And you know what, its not very difficult either.
Like every other relationship, friendship too is a relationship. And you HAVE to put in efforts or making a relationship last...

Hey,
Well it all depends on how close friendship you may have. Most of my friends that I have, aren't really true friends, so I don't actually think that my friendships that I have made will actually last forever. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!

some do sure..I've had friends that have been in my life for over 30 yrs and even when we've lost touch for yrs and yrs when we get back in touch we're still the best of friends...
do I go into a friendship expecting it to last forever though? HELL NO...especially not these days...but that doesnt mean it cant or wont happen. Ppl come into our lives for a reason and sometimes when that reason is over and done with we go our seperate ways..but if a person is meant to be there forever they will be..To expect it though is just setting oneself up IMO

Yes, if the persons involved are willing to be friends forever. It depends on how you deal on various situations especially problems and troubles in your life. If you give up after several times of confrontations and argument then your friendship would end. In my case we had sometimes quarrel and heartaches within us with my friends but since we are trying to look forward to preserve our friendship so here we are now still holding on and we are friends forever.

I don't hundred percent believe it but I do strongly hope it does. I highly value my friends especially those who have stayed with me trough thick and thin. However, the problem with me is I'm not the kind of guy who continuously reach out to a friend who has gone astray or who has somehow gone cold because of work and sudden change of status and/or work place. Maybe I'm just quite shy to ask for an attention especially if this friend of mine is really that busy.

Ya friendship lasts forever. If your friendship is true and you are really into it then it will last for ever, because friendship is one relation on which you can count on. Friends are created they are not inborn. So choose friends who will be there for you for ever. It is totally depends on you, whether the friendship will last for ever or it will brake in the mid way.
Ya i do really have that expectation, because i have that kind of friends who can sacrifice their life for me, because they expect the same from me and i will do the same if it is needed.

i don't think that friendships always last forever because people change--that is the nature of being human. i know that i could never be friends with people i was friends with 10 years ago, because we are too different now. they are good people, but it would be more like work than fun for me to have to hang out with them now. i think it is possible to maintain a friendship forever, but you would have to find the right person. eventually, two people will have some kind of disagreement. and, some people can't have a disagreement without completely walking away from the situation. but others can, and want to compromise to salvage the friendship. this is what it takes to make a friendship last.
