I have friends I don't even know the surname of but they're still friends because I enjoy their company

i pretty much have like 5 or 6 friends if i'm lucky and that applies to most of them what i said :)

A real friend is someone who:

a)it's okay to fart in front of.

b)you don't mind talking to on the bus for atleast 20 minutes.

c)can borrow £5 and never has to pay it back

d)you'll actually call up do stuff.

Someone who can forgive you for your mistakes
Someone who you can trust
Someone who you can always rely on to give you their good honest advice and opinions
Someone who cheers you up when you are low
Someone you will always remember

I'd say:
a person you know well and regard with affection and trust.

thats more of a true friend. id like that in a friend. unfortunately, i havent met one whos been able to be honest about anything. + i always doubt most so thats prolly bad too lol

and i know i will always remember a friend (or oncce was my friend)

A better one is:

A person attached to another by feelings of affection or personal regard. A person who would never intentionally hurt you, lie to you, deceive you, manipulate you, and who takes great care to be kind to you, honest with you, dependable and loyal. Someone who you trust without question because he/she has never given you any reason not to trust. Someone you enjoy being around and look forward to seeing. Someone who would sacrifice him/herself for you.
