Friends! We cherish them from the time we met them until a lifetime.
Strangers! We are entertained and intrigued by their existence.
I remember this saying by my parents when i was younger: "don't talk to strangers". I guess they told me so because not all strangers are angels in disguise, some are evil in nature. But who knows, right? Because some of them are worth the talk and worth to be cherished even with just that short time. They come without notice and leave without a trail, but yea, sometimes, i long and hope that we meet someday because some are just worth for keeping.

Friends especially lovers are always better than strangers since friends are those who share commom interest with you,like you,care for you,and always be there for you.And I really admire that kind of friendship in TV series Friends.Have you seen Friends?Talking to strangers is unavoidable because we have to deal with strangers as long as we live human society.And you are right,how could you get to know so many interesting friends without contacting strangers?And there can't be too many bosom friends right?Have a nice day girl

but, do you ever agree with me if i say that before you come to meet your lover or friends, they were "strangers"?,,, and i guess, because they are one of those strangers worth for keeps, you didn't let go of them,,, ^^ good day to you too!

It really depends actually. For me though (maybe because of my nationality) chatting with strangers seems to be simple until someone breaks the ice first. Kinda hard to break the early ice amongst people here =x.. But overall my stand would be strangers can sometimes be better than your friends, but you just gotta keep a close eyes on them.

maybe, at that moment one have met a stranger, he can tell especially during conversation... besides, friends are once strangers before so they're better already because they have become our friends

It depends on strangers but some of them are sensible to talk with compare to our friends.

Having been a salesman and then in the restaurant industry, I had to make a living off of talking to strangers. Admittedly I came to know some of the most interesting people which if I didn't talk to strangers I would never have known.
