I never consider anyone a friend. I think it'd be very intrusive to decide on my own we're friends without the other person's consent.

My cat is my friend & my sister's dog is one too. I have a best friend, she understands me & we call each other sisters, but she online, she lives in a different country.

In my mind, a friend is someone that not only really likes you, but also talks to, supports, and does activities with you most of the time.

What is it that you really like about this Aspie guy? Is it his personality? Or do you simply share the same interests with him?

I'm not sure if this helps, but when they want to be around you when things are going badly. Most people only want to be around when things are fun and happy.

If that happened to me now with anyone other than family, I'd feel like I'm abusing them and I'll soon exhaust their patience if they have any self-respect.

I don't know and I find it very hard to tell if I'm friends with other people or not. Yesterday a person from my class said that he considered me as his friend. I've never thought he would ever say that to me.

Sorry for bad English

I think for me I consider someone a friend when I feel I can just talk naturally around them, without having to choose words and topics carefully. Or someone I can just relax with, something of that nature.
