AboUT FReInD.... So u think about this...

Define a FRIEND...

My own definition of a friend is a female or male that I can talk to about anything at anytime. Communication is very important to me, so I like to have friends that I enjoy conversing with whether in person, on the phone, or via e-mail. A friend must be trustworthy and honest. After all, if I'm going to share most of my inner most thoughts and secrets with someone, she has to know how to keep a confidence, and not exploit my weaknesses. He cannot be a habitual liar, something I detest, and should not be closed-minded, but enjoy trying new things.

How to make a FRIEND...

Spend more time around people. If you want to make friends, you first need to put yourself out there some how. Friends don't come knocking on your door while you sit at home watching TV. If the people you're already around at work or school aren't friend material for whatever reasons, it's not the end of the world.

• Join a club with people who have common interests.
• Join a sports team.
• Volunteering is a great way for people of all ages to meet others. By working together you build bonds with people, and you might meet others who have a passion for changing things the way you do a common cause.
• Get online. In general, the Internet is a great place to make friends, but it's also easy to invest a lot of time online with someone you think is a friend, and then you never meet them because of time and distance.

Talk to people. You can join a club, go to school, or go to mosque, and you still won't make friends if you don't actually talk to people. By the same token, you don't have to be involved with an organization to talk to people, and any time you talk to someone, you have a chance at making a lasting friend. You can talk to anybody.

• Make eye contact and smile.
• Start a conversation.
• Make small talk.
• Introduce yourself towards the end of the conversation.

Initiate a get-together. You can chat your heart out but it won't get you far if you don't open up the opportunity for another meeting. This is especially important if you meet someone who you aren't otherwise likely to meet again.

Be a good friend. Once you've started spending time with potential friends, remember to do your part or else the friendship will dissolve as soon as it materializes.

• Be reliable.
• Be a good listener.
• Be trustworthy.
• Be there.

Choose your friends wisely. As you best friend more people, you might find that some are easier to get along with than others. While you should always give people the benefit of the doubt, sometimes you realize that certain friendships are unhealthy, such as if the person is obsessively needy towards you, or constantly critical, or introducing dangers or threats into your life.

Tips:

1. You do need to be positive and friendly.
2. You should use body language to convey that you are affable.
3. Approachable, smile frequently, laugh often, and make eye contact. In your words, be confident, but don't be cocky, condescending, or mean spirited.

How to Find out Who Your Best Friends

Step:

1. Ask him/her if he/she can go with you on errands. If he/she says yes but afterwards refuses, you know he/she's a goner.
2.Ask him/her if he/she could stay with you after school. If he/she says yes, but then says he/she has other plans, you know he/she probably doesn't want to be with you.
3.Call him/her to talk at night; if she talks for a while, then says he/she has to go without a reasonable explanation (or makes up a "reasonable explanation" every time), he/she's probably not a true friend.
4.Watch if you're always the one starting conversations. If he/she doesn't email or call you like he/she used to, he/she is probably not your best friend anymore.

Tips;

· Avoid people who change after one year of school.
· Avoid people who try to be something that they aren't.
· Avoid the people that hurt you.
· Just stay with the friends that know all your secrets and that are loyal to you. It doesn't matter if you have just one best friend because at the end you will be happy with that one friend.

How to Make a Best Friend

1. Consider your current friends. Think about which of them is the most trustworthy. If you don't have any friends, then try to make some.
2. Begin talking to that person more often, but don't overdo it. For instance, sit down with them at lunch and in classes that you have together and say "Hi" in the hallway.
3. Get their phone number and call them once in a while or a week. Don't call on the same day every week; pick a random day or keep it unpredictable.
4. Ask if one day they can come over to your house, or do something fun together.
5. Ask them about their hobbies to see if you can do something together within each other's likes. 6. Get to know their friends. 7. Tell them that they are your best friend.
8. Tell the person a secret which you wouldn't mind too much if they revealed since sharing secrets builds trust. If the person tells the secret you will not have lost much (because you did not mind this secret getting out), but you will have learned that they cannot be trusted as your best friend. If the person keeps the secret, you can tell another slightly larger secret.

Tips;

· Even though it is possible to have a best friend, make sure they realize you're trying to make that happen. Don't ask them straight as you'll seem desperate. Keep a close eye on them, but without risking appearing spooky.
· Don't be shy.
· Don't go after the most popular girl in school

. Would be obvious that you're trying something.
· Make sure that they're not two-faced.

Warnings!

· Don't become a stalker!
· Don't be annoying.
. It takes time. Don't force the relationship, you'll only hurt yourself and your friend.
· Watch out for people who become your friend only after you become popular.
