Friends are a strange, volatile, contradictory, yet sticky phenomenon. They are made, crafted, shaped, molded, created by focused effort and intent. And yet, true friendship, once recognized, in its essence is effortless. Best friends are formed by time. Everyone is someone's friend, even when they think they are all

About This Quote

It is true that everyone is someone's friend, even when they think they are all the same. People make friends for various reasons. Some people want to be friends with lots of people so that they can feel like part of a larger group, and some people make friends because they like the other person. But it is often not easy to see if someone really likes you or not.

So, it would be great to have a friend who can tell you that he or she likes you without making you feel awkward or skeptical about the matter. The best way to find out if someone likes you is by asking him directly. The more direct the better, as directness makes the friendship stronger by eliminating any uncertainty.
