What things should friends never do?

Have you made any friends over the Internet?

Can men be friends with women and vice versa?

• “ True friendship comes when the silence between two people is comfortable.”

• “ I don’t need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod; my shadow does that much better.”

• “ A friend is someone who knows all about you and still loves you.”

• “ Friends are the family you choose.”

“ You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.”
