ANY relationship requires, absolutely, trust above all. After that, communication, complete acceptance of the other person and a genuine fondness.

That fact that we love and understand one another unconditionally.

Being able to make each other laugh, no matter the circumstances

There is no answer, only LOVE! Friends are the family we choose for ourselves.

vcm:
love, trust and communication are not a one way street, both have to make the effort to make the friendship last. i’ve been learning that the hard way. :/
Malak:
being a good listener, and sacrificer….and making alot of jokes ….
Betty Ann:
I have a friend for 40 years .. almost 41 year.. since I was 11 and she is 10; I have to say it is distance.. she grew so differently than me; that actually if I met her today i would not be her friend. (sad to say that but true). I think friends come and go in your life… I have had different friends as I grow and change. The three women I’m closet to now I only know 3 years each …
Sophia:
As some others have said; unconditionally love and respect.
My experience and research tells me that the friendships that last are consistently loving and supportive. “How To Win Friends And Influence People” and “How To Have Power and Influence Dealing With People” are amazing books.
Pick your favorite and read a little out of it everyday for the rest of your life. It will change who you are and your life for the better.
I´ve had the same 3 friends for 20 years, our secret, being there for each other, a listening ear and compassion.

Listening, respect, and acceptance.
If you dont already know, it won’t last…
Sharing experiences, near or far. Sharing good and bad times with people over the years is what makes my friendships last.
Being playfully teased relentlessly by them. It always gives something to talk, smile and laugh about.
Space ,mutual understanding and respect.
Common understanding of personal differences.
