What does the word "friend" mean to you? I am sure it has a different meaning to everyone so it would be interesting to hear about it. Do you consider anyone you chat to online as an actual friend? Do you have to meet up with someone quite regularly to consider them a friend?

I recently chatted to someone online by complete chance, she turned out to live just a few km from me, a day after meeting her online she was already suggesting that we meet in real life, I obviously would never do something like that, but it made me think for sure.

To me a friend is someone whom I can trust, can trust me and wont take me too seriously unless I need them to.
