What is the one thing you look for in a friend

I look for honesty in a friend.

when i have a friend the one and first thing that i look for a friend is that loyalty whenever they go,that no matter what situation they will never bring you down,and i am thankful because i still have those kind of friends in my life.

I think that something that you really need in a friend is loyalty. If you are friends with somebody, you need to know that they're always going to be there for you if you need them to be both now and in the future. I would like to think that I am this kind of person to my friends, and I will always be there for them. Being a friend is about both giving and taking, but you have to realise when the time is right to do each of these things. A friend who constantly takes is annoying, and a friend who constantly gives will soon get tired of that.

Yeah I do also believe it just happens. I mean I have some friends who have the similar interests as I do but some are poles apart! But still we are really tight. But I do believe trust is important in friendship.

i think that the good think that we expect from a friend is the kind ness and joy that he gives to us in different ways .a true friendship never demands anythng from him

I look for a true and honest friend.Areal person who can be trusted and willing to help me in times of sorrows and problems.....

The same here. I am not looking for anything special in a friend. As lon as we have a lot in common, that's enough. I know there are people who seek somthing out of a friendship but I am not that type.

When I was younger I didn't look for anything particular in a friend. Now that I've gotten older and I've come to learn that not all friends are good friends, the main thing I look for is loyalty. We would think that loyalty is something that would be obvious, but these days our so called friends will leave us high and dry. I'm not saying it applies to everyone, because I do have a few real friends, but a lot of people these days are not sincere. To answer the question though, the main thing would be loyalty.

easy to be with,fun,hones, open-minded. Most especially God-fearing person

everyone is talking about question what they are looking for in their wife/husband or in their lover and there are many things come out but i never thinks about what one thing i look in a friend.well after thinking lot only one things come in my mind is support.because if friends are not supportive then it is very difficult to live life.by support i mean that they are stand beside you in every situation and never let you alone.

Ilook for his/her character,or her attitude as a whole.Iwant to own a friend who can be trusted,honest frank and above all who can rely on in times of sorrows and troubles.......

I do agree-- Friends happen. It happens when I move into a flat with other people, or when I get to know someone from work, or attend the same classes as the others. I think that that is the difference between finding a friend and a partner. You seem to kind of lose the bias when you become friends with someone. You don't really impose your beliefs and there's just a sort of comfort that you can't feel with anyone else. So what is the one thing I look for in a friend? Objectivity. That's it. If a friend is objective, then they have the capacity to see what's fair and not. Considering we usually go to friends when we are hurt or happy, and since we mostly hear out their advices, it is best that we're friends with someone who can tell you if you're right or wrong, and remind you of what's just and fair.

As long as the person wants me to be his/her friend then its alright with me. I like mingling with new people, you need to be open for them to reach you. In the end, friends do come and go and I just want to have an honest friend around me. Someone that I can share my problems and triumph in life without judging me right away. I have many friends yet only few are worth keeping.

Nice question mesdames. I encourage you to keep on asking simple questions with complicated answers such as What is happiness? etc. Well what i look for a friend is his/her capability to be himself/herself. I don't like to have a friend who does not want to act out his own character. According to Emmanuel Levinas (A jewish philosopher) we should look for friends as a whole with his/her perfections and imperfections since that is genuine friendship. Thanks again for letting us comment. Good day.

Honesty for sure, I think honesty and loyalty is so important, one who was cheated on by a best friend and boyfriend, I feel you must be able to trust as best you can.

Finding a good friend is the same thing as finding a good relationship with a partner. You need trust, someone who defends you when others speak against you, someone who has good honest kind characteristics, is open to believing in God, someone who doesn't judge others who are less fortunate or who have come into troubles and haven't found their way out. Someone who is there for me in hard times just as they expect me to be there for them in hard times. Someone who accepts who I am.

I think it's good to meet in the middle. I have a mattress like that on my bed. No matter how honourable my intentions are going to bed, the mattress collapses in the middle and we are forced together, whether we like it or not. I am usually voting LIKE IT rather than not.

personally no i dont look for a individual characteristic. however if someone wants to be a close friend then they do have to meet the criteria, mainly being they can have a laugh, they are trustworthy, and they generally have similar views. however after loosing one of my best friends the other day i gues you can never be too sure about who you pick. plus you have to remember the fact. friends come and go through out life.
