i frend is someone who dost not want anything from you
Hm....I think a real friend needs your attention and a good word when he needs one.Real friend will always ask you for a help when something goes wrong but also to share good things with you.
You can ONLY have 1 real friend
In regards to social media such as Facebook, or even TN, "friends" = "cyber acquaintances" in my opinion, and I define the word by its context. I have personally interacted with all of my Facebook contacts, but none of my TN contacts. In real life, my definition of "friend" is very narrow. I have few true friends, but numerous acquaintances.
I think this is absolutely true for most people, but they don't always recognize it. Friendship, in my view, includes much more then can be accomplished through some interactions on a social network. While being here or on Facebook may be a good way to stay connected to a friend, if there is nothing else it's not much of a friendship.
In the sense of the word, a friend is a person is as friend as defined in the dictionary. A new or old friend is one that you can communicate with in some respect.
I try to "touch base" as I call it after a period of time with those I don't get little or no response from over a period of time. After a couple of these with no response, I delete as they apparantly don't want to communicate and have other reasons for requesting me as a friend. So many request that I never hear anything from and that will get them deleted. Whether it be for a big list, looking at pics only, etc., the reason for requestingme as a friendcan not be for friendship in this case, so I delete them. If I find that they are not as they seemed and not meeting the person I wish to communicate with, I delete.I rarely request friendship myself, so when I do, it is "Genuine"!
There are always friend requests to me that cannot apparently do not read my profile at the type friends I prefer. Usually, this will not get them accepted although I do accept sometimes going on a "gut" feeling of genuine sincerity, but not often!In short, my friends should be a person that communicates, has similar interests, and one you hear from occasionally!
We have a strict set of guide lines for who is on our friends list. The first thing is they have to be people who seem like they could be compatable with us. The second thing is there must be a reasonable chance of actually meeting these people. That is why we have no foreign friends and our east coast and midwest friends do visit Arizona occasionally. We do visit California and have met some of our CA friends there. We exchange messages with our friends about events where we might meet. I wish there was a way to designate which friends who are on our list that we have actually met.
