Friends? Maybe not (Part 1)

Recently, i have made quite a few new friends, be it virtual or real life. I must say that it takes two to make a pair of friends. Sounds weird ah? Isn't friends just friends? Does simple acknowledgement of the presence of each other indicates that they are friends? Is it as simple as it sounds? It gets you wondering as you grow up, especially for people of my ages. HoHoHo. I was just stereotyping. But i really gave this a lot of thoughts since when i was small.

What exactly is a friend and how do you know if you made one? I strongly believe that everyone has their own definition of friends. To some, friends are just people whom they have met before and had at least a brief introduction or an exchange of names. To some, friends extend to the 2nd degree network (Eg. Your friends' friends). The list goes on and on, and as amazing as it sounds, the definition of friend is as mystifying as the true meaning of love.

To me, i am more particular about friends. Or so it seems. For people like me, what exactly do we see in someone that made us bore an intention to make him or her our friend?
