THIS IS HOW YOU SEARCH FOR A MATE. IT ONLY WORKS IF YOU ACTUALLY USE IT. Having a True Friend A lot of people use the word too loosely. I believe that most people don't know what a real friend is, but I do and I will share my thoughts. You see, a true friend is someone who doesn't play games with your feelings, and doesn't give false hope to you. A true friend is a person who guides you in a positive way, who takes it upon themselves to be true confidant to you, and doesn't reveal any personal secrets. A true friend is someone who doesn't put you in danger or dangerous situations. A true friend is understanding, loving, and a positive influence on your character. A friend like this can turn into the true mate that you may be in search for. If this is the type of mate you want, then you must seek this type of friend, give the friendship 6 mos. to a year, then ( If permitted) turn it into a relationship.
