kevin1986 answered Sunday July 16 2006, 9:44 pm: No way to know until bad times come. The people who stay are true friends. The people who do the little things are true friends. It sounds easy, but it's rare. [ kevin1986's advice column | Ask kevin1986 A Question ]

xostarbrightbaby answered Sunday July 16 2006, 6:41 pm: To me: A true friend is someone who is always there for you, completely honest with you, makes you smile and laugh when you need it the most, always has a shoulder to cry on, has a ton of memories with you, and never talk about you behind you back or backstab. =] ♥ [ xostarbrightbaby's advice column | Ask xostarbrightbaby A Question ]

Lucky answered Sunday July 16 2006, 6:19 pm: You know if someone is your friend if they treat you well. Are they bossy? Do they ignore you when other friends are around? That is how you know. If they treat you like that you know that you no that they're not a true friend. No questions asked. [ Lucky's advice column | Ask Lucky A Question ]
xomichelle891xo answered Sunday July 16 2006, 6:16 pm: They dont ditch you.
They dont talk behind your back.
They like you no matter what you do/like.
They accept you as a person.
They dont use you just to gain popularity, money boyfriends, or anything else.
They contribute to the friendship just as much as you..call you and make plans.
They like to be around you.
You have similar interests.
Theyre not mean to you. [ xomichelle891xo's advice column | Ask xomichelle891xo A Question ]

lostinpraise answered Sunday July 16 2006, 4:49 pm: Hmm. Tricky question actually. I'd say there are a few key things to look for in a true friend.
<BR/>
<BR/>
- They can be honest with you, and not make things up to impress you or make you feel bad or make themselves look better.
<BR/>
<BR/>
- They can be open with you, and share themselves with you, knowing that you won't laugh or judge them.
<BR/>
<BR/>
- They allow you to be open and honest with them. You feel safe and comfortable enough with them to tell them whatever you like, knowing they won't judge you, laugh at you, or tell anyone else.
<BR/>
<BR/>
- They can always make you laugh.
<BR/>
<BR/>
- You can spend hours with them, just chilling and chatting, and still have a great time without having to do anything in particular.
<BR/>
<BR/>
- They know when you want to talk about something, and when to just give you space.
<BR/>
<BR/>
- They'll stick up for you, even when you're in the wrong.
<BR/>
<BR/>
- They'll tell you later, privately, that you were in the wrong.
<BR/>
<BR/>
- They'll never let you down, and forgive you when you screw up.
<BR/>
<BR/>
- They can tell when something's upsetting you, annoying you, or just getting you down without you having to say a word.
<BR/>
<BR/>
- They can tell its you when they answer the phone before yu've even said anything.
<BR/>
<BR/>
That last one might just be a weird t hing me and my friend have...
<BR/>
Hope some of that helped! God bless [ lostinpraise's advice column | Ask lostinpraise A Question ]
orphans answered Sunday July 16 2006, 4:44 pm: you know if someones a true friend if they're always there for you and if you need a shoulder to cry on, they'll be there to let you have a shoulder to cry on..a friend isn't a true friend if he/she talks shit behind your back.
