Hey , Mary , what's up ?   Just so so . Last night I met this great guy at the bar and we had such a wonderful time , so we decided to meet again tonight .   Oh , that's exciting . What does this guy look like ? Is he hot ?   Well , I didn't think so at first . But as we started talking , I found him extremely funny and witty . I couldn't stop laughing at his jokes ! And we have so much in common . We like the same team , music , and most amazingly , we both love Chinese food ! I have the feeling that we are going to be great friends .   It seems you two are a good match . What qualities do you look for in a friend ?   There's nothing definite I think . I don't have a list or anything , but when I first meet somebody , I can usually tell whether or not that person is going to be a good friend . It seems I have radar helping me spot new friends .   Well , that's something I've never heard of . But if you ask me what I value most in a friend , I would say honesty .   I agree . You can't expect a close relationship with a dishonest person . Those are the people that will turn their back on you when you are in need .   Yeah , I know . A friend in need is a friend indeed . I don't need fair-weather friends either .
