What qualities do you look for in your friends? People who you let close to you, that you can call on 24/7.
 
the ever encumpassing quality called acceptance. Unconditional acceptance.
 
Only honesty. The rest I can work around, if I don't have to worry about who I'm really dealing with.
 
That they accept me for who I am, and they don't judge me for my actions in anyway. Also that they don't betray the trust and confidence I give them.

I can't really come up with anymore right now.
 
If I find someone who understands me, has a good sense of humor, and a constant nature, I'm drawn to that person. Loyalty, acceptance, honesty with tactfulness, and common interests are what makes a lasting friendship.
 
a person you can show all your Masks to, and what they hide.

someone to be funny for, yet a person you can tell what fucked up dream you had last night, and not have them laugh, but think about it seriously... i don't know. someone who knows you, really knows you, and accepts who you are and what you do to hide who you are. it's too complicated to put into words.
 
honesty--must be able to say anything (nicely of course)

humor--must be able to laugh at all the good and bad in life and in ourselves.

reliability--must be able to count on them (each other) to stick by you through it all, not just the fun, good times.

respect--must respect your opinions and feelings even if they arent the same

acceptance--must be able to accept us with our differences and our flaws and love us anyways.

These qualities go both ways, you must also treat them the same in return for a friendship to bond and stand the test of time.
 
Everyone's got great answers... so I won't steal them again, or repeat the same thing.

But I'd like to add one.

The smile. A friend has to have a great smile. One of those that just make you grin right back, or make you roll your eyes and think you're not quite so crazy after all.

*thinks* I once heard something truly... well true, actually. If someone asks you why you're friends with someone else, sometimes the best answer is "because."

Why am I friends with my best bud, Jessica? Because she's she, and I'm me. That's all it takes.
