I wonder how the fine line between an acquaintance and a friend is drawn. Here’s my personal judgement.
An acquaintance
- someone you meet and greet once a year
- someone you meet once and hear about them from other people
In my definition of friend, it branches out to:
A casual friend
- someone you sent at least a sms to once every 3 months
- someone who replies your 3 months sms
- someone who knows if you’re married or otherwise
- someone who remembers your boyfriend’s/girlfriend’s name
- someone who knows your last name
- someone who knows the location of your house address
A good friend
- someone you sent at least a sms to once a week
- someone who replies your weekly sms
- someone you sent an email to at least once a month and receive replies from them
- someone who has been in your house/room
- someone who you’ve been out with at least once a month
- someone who knows or share experience of your silly/unforgetable moments in life
- someone who is willing to lend you money
Best friend
- someone who knows your deepest darkest secret and is able to threaten you with it
- someone who keeps your deepest darkest secret
- someone who ramages your refrigerator
- someone who’ve met all your ex bf/gf
