There is a saying, "To have good friends you must be a good friend"

A good friend for me is someone that I can trust and trusts me, someone who keeps me grounded, stops me doing some of the daft things I'm prone to do!
Someone who is there in a time of need, and someone who will call me in their time of need.
Someone who probably shares some common ground with me.
Someone who I can use as a sounding board and vice versa.
Someone with a sense of humour, who considers my feelings.

cheers
