| In real life or online. Could be something simple, like seeing they share one of your hobbies or have the same music tastes, or maybe something a bit more complex like their sexual orientation or their political stances. Perhaps it's an instance of their intellectual capabilities? Like you prefer socializing with someone online with proper vocabulary, or in real life with someone with a heightened vernacular? Discuss. Oh and if you like memes, there's a chance we can be best buds right off the bat lol. |

| Respect. You can instantly tell they have strong morals and human decency, they don't hesitate to give, and they don't hesistate to take what they are owed. They are good people, and you can tell that a lot of things they do aren't for any specific reasons of self gain except that it is because what they do is right. |
Protaku said: when it comes to people i online usually I find common interest or liking the same things and as I get to know them more eventually I might consider meeting up and hanging out. I actually went to LA and visited one of the online friends I've been talking to for three years we had a nice time in Venice Beach . That stuff doesn't happen often but I have met people i thought where worth meetingIn real life or online.

| If you only seem to ever talk about one topic, then then the friendship probably won't last very long. |
| If they share my interests. Honestly, I'm willing to be anyone's friend if they like anime or running. |
| Cross-country >>>>>>>>>>>> Every other sport |
| if they can make me laugh and i can make them laugh too, tbh, i think that's really it. |
 |
| If we share common interest and have mutual respect to each other. |
 |
| If they are anything like you senpai~ |
| if they provide me with lots of food and alcohol. but being will to share intimate stuff about them also helps. |
| If they put out on the first date...she/he is probably a keeper. |
 |
| I used to think having similar interests was enough, but it takes more than that for me now. It's important that this potential friend doesn't have a draining personality or expect too much of me in our friendship. He or she also shouldn't push their own views on me... that really rustles my jimmies. ( ͡° _ʖ ͡°) |
| You give them your number and they remember you exist the next day. |
 |
| If he/she can fucking rape my mentality in two minutes. That spark of rivalry, that battle of dominance, that maneuvering of objectives to get ahead the other one - that's what I look for in the best of my friendships. And naturally, I have no friend like that. In normal cases, if I resonate with the other person, that's enough. I'm the controlling one in my friendships; it doesn't matter what kind of a person the other person is, I can easily mold him/her to fit my tastes. Or if I really desire their friendship, then I'll change myself momentarily. |
| Irl? I can make friends with most anyone. I dunno about signs, you just do. |

WillItReachHer said: If we share common interest and have mutual respect to each other. That sounds about right. Respect is one of the key components to almost anything involving others. |

| If they share some personality traits and interests with me then it has a potential of becoming a good friendship.Also a minimal level of mutual respect is essential. |

| I recently had a friend at school who was book-smart and very humble. I hung out with her for a while and she turned out to have the shittiest personality ever. The reason was because supposedly she was very blunt and wanted to openly express herself BUT at the same time she was also a major ass-kisser. Point is there is a clear line between being blunt and being rude. Honesty works in most cases, but when you don't like my hairdo and just want to say "you look like a mushroom" straight to my face with an ugly grin, no way I'm gonna stick with your nonsense. I'd say being humble and down-to-earth is the best characteristic in a (good) friend. |
Doctors want to check me  Poke me and dissect me What do they expect? Feelings from a wind-up toy? I don't think so |
| I suppose someone who seems respectful towards others and well-mannered appeals to me the most. I don't want to be friends with someone who may act forceful with their opinions that differ from my own, nor do I want a friendship with someone who is okay with behaving impolitely. You need to have an open mind to different opinions and some tact. Having similar interests is important too. It's kind of hard to hold regular conversations with someone you have little to nothing in common with. |

| I think what is the best sign of not just a good friend but a good person is being humble. If you go out of your way for them they express greatfulness and don't just write it off or expect you to because of friendship. If you do them a favor they seek to repay you in some way. Friendship isn't about keeping score but it's like every other relationship. There is give and take and if all your doing is giving and the other person just keeps taking then it's going to be one-sided and your going to eventually be resentful and feel used. I notice a lot of it online. I hate coming across people that seem really nice at first but then they fish for you to buy them things and send them stuff. One girl I was friends with would keep dropping subtle hints about things she wanted like she would constantly bring up that her premium membership to something would be about to and and how she wished some one would gift her one. After a while it got very annoying to listen to and after making it clear I wasn't going to suddenly she didn't seem interested in talking to me any more. |
| First of all, if they are sincere, kind and careful not to insult anyone in any way. I can't tolerate narow minded and prejudiced people, so if they have respect for different tastes/cultures/hobbies, it is likely that I'd be friends with them. Age is not importnat, but maturity is, at some point. It also leads me to search for mutual intellectual interests. I'd be gladly friends with a person who has the capacity to be both funny and serious, and has a certain attitude towards life. |

| Online, shared interests are usually a sign that someone might make a good friend. Also, mutual respect and openness to each other's point of view. This goes for real life too, however, in real life I can also almost sense if you connect with a certain person. Sometimes you just instantly feel comfortable and accepted around someone, which is often a sign they might make a good friend. |
| I need to have a certain click with someone. There have been enough people with similar hobbies, morals, and interest that I just couldn't really become friends with no matter how hard we tried. I'm not too sure how to describe that click, but I guess it would be the ability to talk with each other without it getting awkward, or the conversation dying down too fast? Similar hobbies and interest do help achieve this click, but plenty of my friends have different interests from mine. |
| Real life: someone who actually wants to hang out and do something. Someone who actually calls me to see how I am doing. Online: Someone who talks you more than just constantly the first few days you befriend them and then just stops talking to you but keeps you on their friend anyways. But honestly, I'm done with online friendships. They're BS at this point. |
| Here. 1. Picks on you. 2. Beats the shit out of you. 3. Makes you cry like the bitch you are. 4. Rapes you whenever they get a chance. 5. Throws an anchor at you when you need their help.

 Yes, I am CD 2.0's overlord. |
| This might be a really simple answer but a way to tell if someone will be a good friend is if you want to keep talking to them, it's really simple but true. |
 |
| If they can hold a conversation with you, are warm and friendly and respectful too. |
 |
| If you feel that you can be honest with them, and that they can be honest with you |
| i dont do friends. but people im willing to talk to cant be offended by what i say and also need a dark sense of humor. |
| Scream! |
| If they actually listen to what you have to say and ask you questions about how you're doing, genuinely of course. Honesty, respect, loyalty, similar interests and morals, etc. |

Tharja said: Agreed. I'll add that it's a good sign when someone remembers your previous conversations and follows up on them. It shows that they're willing to put in effort, which is important for maintaining friendships.If they actually listen to what you have to say and ask you questions about how you're doing, genuinely of course. |
