  • Does it take years and is it about compatibility?


  • if they like you for who you are and not because your cool rich or have a hot girlfriend or boyfriend.


  • I could give you the generic answers, you have to trust them, they have to support you, blah blah blah. Really can you let them see you at your worst times? Can you dance around or embarrass yourself in front of them and not be embarrassed, can you say what you want, can you say their getting fat and them not be offended? That's a real friend. It may take some time you don't expose your soft underbelly right away do you?


  • you will find out in your time of need and support....your real friends will be there for you. And it normally takes a while to build such a strong relationship. Over that time many scenarios will come up and will give you both a chance to prove yourselves as real friends


  • it doesnt have to take years
    if that friend doesnt talk about you behind your back, sticks with you through anything, and you guys have a great time together :)


  • A real friend is there when you're going through a tough time or really need some help. For example, if you're moving, you'll always know you your real friends are...they are there helping. If you have a flat tire by the side of the road...late at night, and need help, they will come over and not complain.

    It's not a matter of years (but sure, that may help), or how you get along (although you'd likely not be friends with someone who you don't get along with), it's more about a level of caring and positive support.


  • It might take years to realize a person is a true friend but only a moment to find out he is not.


  • well, unforunately sometimes you can't tell if someone is a real friend or not until they screw you. But don't take a pessimistic view on the whole thing. Maybe you are faced with a situation during which they meet or exceed you friendship criteria, then you know you've got a good one. Also, a wise man once said a friend will bail you out of jail, but a real friend would be in jail right beside you...haha


  • I guess its just trust. You just know


  • When I was in Middle-School my teacher was reading about this book and it say invite your friend to the house place 3 chocolates in a plate or something like that offer one and take one if he/she gets the third one his just selfish if he offer the third one you can't trust him/her now if he/she splits the chocolate in half and share it with you that's a real friend


  • you know if they
    - keep your secrets
    - help you get through tough times
    - share stuff
    - lend you money when you really need it
    - trust you
    - respect your wishes
    - doesn't judge you
    - doesn't talk behind your back
    - have a great time with you

    you don't have to wait a long time to figure out that you're compatible you just have to rely on your instincts


  • Making the world a better place Member since: -> She has answered your question in a genuine way.


    Well, it doesn't take years nor does it depend upon any compatibility. You will know who are your real friends when you have no money in your pocket, no treasures to share, no time to spend with them, and almost nothing to give them. If they still come to you to be with you or want you then they are indeed your real friends.
