[edit]DAILY TOPIC Just a little something to discuss as you get to know your collaborators. If you remember, put the most current entries ON TOP instead of at the bottom. No big deal, but it saves people having to scroll to see things they've already seen. Please format your topic as a heading by putting two equal signs on either side and only put one topic on a page. --- Previous "Daily Topics"

What are the most important characteristics you look for in a friend?

Generally being alive is the first characteristic I would look for! For me, I'm a fairly introverted person, not as in I like to close myself off completely from the outside world, but that I find quiet activities more enjoyable than boisterous nights out. If I were looking for a new friend, I'd want them to know how I like to live life, and they should ideally like the same activities (yay!) or otherwise respect my wish to go to a wine tasting or a black and white movie on a Friday night :-).

The characteristics of a friend that are most important to me are: trustworthiness, someone who is not afraid to disagree with me or tell me something that I may not want to hear, similar interests (e.g., love of music or fishing), and a positive outlook on life.

I want friends that I can trust to be loyal and honest. I want to have things in common, but be able to disagree and stretch each other. I like people who really think about things. Firewalk (talk/contribs) 04:57, September 8, 2008 (AKDT)
