how do you choose who to be friends with?

Hi.Honestly,I make choise when I want be close with some friends.I think,the first I look someone who honest.Than,they have same perspective with me.It's not problem that we have different hobby,caracter but the important is they will be my inspiration,could giveme motivation and support.And give good influence.

The old adage says... tell me who your friends are and I will tell you who you are. That means you are a funny person too. My friends are simple, responsible people. Their joys list include family and friends who put God first in their hearts.

sometimes we like a person basically because we feel good when we're with them, and as is the case, most of the time it is because we have something in common with them whether we are aware of it or not. so the moment someone becomes my friend it is because we're the same. otherwise, that person would just be an acquaintance.

I am not choosy in making friends but I am beware for a friend who is taking advantage of me. What I like for a friend is cheerful, good listener, friendly, a joker and most of all go beyond a mile.

It does not happen overnight with me specially with net friends. It took me two years to invite a Net friend from another country to visit me and I felt glad that I had done that. It starts with exchanging messges, then emails and through this interaction one gets the vibes of friendship coming to the fore and when that happens I can see a bond on the horizon after which I dont look back.

different to myself,so we can learn from each other's good qualities,my ideal friends is honest,humer,kindhearted,a good listener,a person i'll first think of when i need help,when we stay together we both feel good and relax.

I would pretty much chose the kind of people I already chose. I would be picking my friends from the science fiction community. Smart would be a requirement, not too bright people annoy me.

Hey Gemma! I feel very much the same as you do! I like to try to find friends with the same qualities that I have! I like to have fun and I like to be with people who enjoy having fun and laughing at silly things too! I like my friends to be honest too. I also like to be with people who are intelligent that I can have a decent conversation with sometimes when I feel like being serious! I definitely don't like people that are boring! I try to look for people who I have similar interests with because that's what always seems to work out the best!

I agree with you as I like to have friends with a great sense of humour. That is so important to me and the friend must be loyal too. I do not care where they come from but the must be on my wave length with regards to humour. Blessings

If the person has a good character then I am willing to be his/her friend. Nothing else matters.

I'M friendly so i am happy if i have many friends.i don't have some criteria to make a friend with someone, but i like a honest friends,adult and responsibility. i feel enjoy with the people with the characteristics above..i think we just look the positives site form our friends and get rid of the bad...remember we need friend in our live, we can't living alone...

I befriend people who share the same "wavelength" as me. Friend is not a friend if you don't share anything in common. But, there some times when some people are faking it. They'll do anything to make friends with you, with the ulterior motive of using you for their selfish needs. But you can actually sense people like these. Their aura stinks in the air. If you ask me, I prefer a silent and trustworthy friend than a loudmouth and jolly person who back stabs when you turn around.

I don't really have a specific criteria to whom I should hang out with. I guess all that matters is that they are nice, warm and they don't backstab me. People that are true and won't give you false compliments.

I prefer to make friends with some people who are similar to me and I always think friends should have common topic.
