Mysterio Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 How many friends do you think you have? What do you think the number of Aquintqances you have as well? Whats the difference between a Friend and an Aquintance? I have about 22 friends. I would estimate I have about 10 aquitances. I define a friend is someone I have introspective conversations on a regular basis. The frequency has to be at least interacting once a month if we are in town. Out of town at least 5 times a year by Facebook/E-mail or phone call. An Aquinatance is someone I can talk to, but the conversations are more suface level and we don't get together on a regular basis. I currently have two friends that are sliding into Aquintances. This is because now they come off as getting together is a chore. Even though we are not doing anything out of bounds. If I don't make that major effort. I rarley interact with them. One of them may be salvageble. The other would have to really change in order for the friendship to survive. Most of my friends are male. 6 are female. Link to post Share on other sites
d0nnivain Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 A friend is someone who would be there in a crisis & to celebrate all the good times. An acquaintance is somebody you know, whose company you enjoy when you see them but not somebody you would sacrifice for. I'm very blessed in that I probably have over a dozen good friends. I'm also very social so I have hundreds of acquaintances. Link to post Share on other sites
