If they are a true friend then never. True friends will always be friends even if you do something stupid. Sure, they might be mad at you for a while but eventually they will get over it.

The friend that is there for you no matter what. The friend that accepts you how you are, flaws and all. The friend you can trust with all your secrets without worrying about them telling them. The friend you know would cause you harm in any way (on purpose).

treu friendship i believe is like a marriage. you have to work at it all the time. and both parties should be involved. not a one way street .and you should always agree that whatever is brought in2 the relationship. secrets etc should stay in it.........\n\nfrom someone who had a very bad experience with what i thought was "true friendship"

We all have friends; men friends, women friends, boy friends, girl friends, even children friends. Whether we are a man or a woman we have friends that we chat with and interact with everyday of out lives; yet how many of the people we call friends are true friends and what is a true friend? That is something that I believe is different for everyone, it is a personal observation and need. We as human beings all have different needs and wants; no two of us is alike in every way, therefore we all see things in different ways. Still some basic similarities for true friendships can’t be over looked. \n\nLet’s look at things that I believe to be similar for all people. First, you need someone you can share your deepest thoughts and feelings with, someone whom you trust explicitly, it does not matter where you meet them or how long you have known them; there is something between you that says, “I trust this person and I want to share everything with this person.” I know there are many doubters reading this yet this is true and I will give you an example. A few months ago, I met just such a person we met online. Being a divorced single woman, I had lost much of my faith in human kind in general and that was even truer of men; my ex-husband had squelched all that I believed in and even after almost 3 years I could not really trust men, even though I tried, the trust just was not there. I belong to a divorce support group on the internet and through that group; I met a man who struck me as someone I could trust. I cannot explain just why I thought I could trust him, yet I did. We talked on line for months and as we did it became even clearer to me that I could and would learn to trust him. I was vacillating back and forth whether to move back to my home in Florida, I really wanted to come back home yet I was afraid that I would not find a job and was not real sure what to do. My newfound friend kept telling me it was right that it was something I should do because he knew by what I was saying that I was not happy living in Ohio. When my newfound friend offered to come and help me make the move, still I wasn’t sure. The next thing I know this man had made his plane reservations and I was moving. I had a very hard time believing that he was really coming, yet I trusted him. Still driving to the airport the morning of the move I was still wondering if he would be there, he was there and we met for the first time in person, I knew then he was a true friend. It still wasn’t until we actually started our drive from Ohio to Florida that I realized how much of a true friend he was. He knew when something was bothering me almost before I did and like wise, I could tell when something was bothering him. We talked for the entire trip, which made the trip very enjoyable, and very soul searching. I truly feel I have found at least one true friend. Yet should I stop there, emphatically no. He is a male friend, for women there are things that we don’t like to talk about with our male friends no matter how close they are and the same holds true for men, they have issues that they would prefer not to share with a woman. We need friends of both sexes and I do have some fairly close and true female friends. \n\nThis is only an example of what I have encountered. Through the years, friends have come and gone yet true friends are yours forever. Now let’s look for more signs you have found a true friend. \n\nYou are stranded with a broken down car, it’s 3 in the morning, you know that all of your “friends” are sleeping and have to go to work in a few hours; who do you call? You think about all your “friends” and mentally check off the list the “friends” that you would not call to come to your rescue. Finally, you find that one person you think will be of assistance and you call their number and wait for them to answer. When their ringing phone finally wakes them out of that sound sleep what is their reaction? A “true friend

For tht u should define clear idea of real friend.\nWht do u expect from a real friend?\nwhen he/she won't meet ur expectation , they won't be real for u.\nIt's all depends on u. If u r talking abt ideal friend then it's very hard. Just u can guess from urself. can u be ideal friend?

A friend is someone who will laugh with you at the stupidest things.\nSomeone who never puts you down. Someone who will always listen to you no matter how rediculous your problems are.  Someone who will straight up say "Yes, your butt does look fat in those jeans". \n\nBest friend - Tighter than a fat kid in spandex.\n\nMy friends are mostly guys. I don't get along with females all that well.. never have. I had a best friend for literally ten years. We no longer speak or see each other so I can't answer the question about forever. I have made maybe 2 actual friends in the passed 3 years, though. Two really good friends are better than 20 "so-so" friends. I have tons of memories and pictures with my childhood friends.. and still love most of them to death. Soo that's my idea!!

A friend that you enjoy being with, that listens as much as they talk, is honest, open, loyal, fun, caring, sincere, appreciative.

Anyone who loves you unconditionally. Sure you all might have your ups and downs, but true friendship always comes through. No relationship with anyone is perfect so you shouldnt expect it to be. I consider myself to be a real friend to anyone who needs one, I hope to get those same feelings returned to me.
