Hmm, it's a social state I guess.
You are friends with someone when you chose to spend time with them / enjoy their company and treat them in the same way you would like to be treated. Friendship is that bond.

I just view it as a measure of trust in someone, for reasons exclusive of being otherwise related.

Being able to tell someone brutal and honest truths.
Either that or knowing that its your turn to speak when the other guy has a beer can to his mouth. :lol:

Caring what someone else thinks and caring about how they are.

Someone to lean on and in turn be leaned upon by. In theory that should be able to last a lifetime but rarely seems to these days. There's much more of an emphasis on '#1' nowadays, so much so that even friends can end up hating each other over the stupidest of little things. Sad really, that we live in a world like that.

Real friendship is hard to find these days. Sometimes I wonder if it even exists at all. In Dutch there's a song about this, translated in English it is:
"At a certain time you get to the conclusion, friendship is an illusion. Friendship is a dream, a packet of garbage covered by a thin layer of chrome". (It sounds better in Dutch)
To me, friendship is first of all the ability to be yourself around someone. Not having to put up a show, be someone you're not. Secondly, it is a form of trust. Not just trust like telling someone a secret, a deeper trust. And ofcourse love. The love you get from friends is very different from the kind you get from a relationship, but not at all worth any less. Lovers come and go, friends remain.
Ofcourse friendship is the small things too, drinking beer, whiskey with a good cigar, hanging around, talking politics, love, life, philosphy. Laughing, crying. Not seeing someone for 2 weeks and there being no problem with that from both sides. Those are however part of the bigger picture, which I pointed out above.
I've only got a handfull of real friends. My father is probably my best friend, as is my mom. The real friends I do have I treasure very much. I've got a lot of people I like to be around, just for fun. Friends are different though. They're there for you, even if you don't feel like having fun.
Real friends are truly priceless.

Friends let you abuse them and get away with it. :wink:
Thats how most teenage friendships are anyways...
1. Make friends with them by (time+quality) make them feel nice
2. You start to play with them physically (not that way! [yet] :wink
3. You start to hit them and make fun of them, and that somehow boosts relationships
4. I never been here yet.
And may I ask, Jari, why do you ask this question?

A fake friend will rat on you if you break a rule.
A friend will keep your secret.
A true friend will be helping you break that rule.

A real friend doesn't lie to you and lead you on about things.
I have a female friend who has decided to break my heart.
She told me she only wanted to be friends with me, i felt fine about it.
Then recently she has been getting closer to me, and I just thought it was my imagination, until today she admitted she was deliberatly leading me on for her amusement. The sad part is I genuinely cared about her and wanted to be her friend, and recently much more, and she just destroyed it for a few laughs with her mates. It got worse because after that point she admitted that she was in love with someone else and he didn't want her, so thats why she was doing it to make herself feel better.
I told her that as a friend I could have helped her out, but not how she was using me.
I feel like total crap.

And there you have it; real friendship.
You see, we only like to think that friendship is all these good things, like loyalty.
In reality friendship is a symbiotic process of abuser and a loser. Loser is the old fashioned nice guy, believes in being there for his friend and all that stuff. Often low on self esteem, too. Abuser on the other hand has figured out what a friendship really means; people you can use for your amusement and then throw away, when you have taken everything they had to give.
I would recommend being an abuser. It hurts lot less.
