A new survey has revealed top ten rules of friendship and that best friends are 100 percent honest - but can lie for their mates at the drop of a hat.
According to the study of 2,000 adults by the social platform eventbuddie.com, the very best friends are able to do everything from being a shoulder to cry on and being available in dire straits to memorizing your favourite tipple and throwing great parties, the Daily Star reported.
Iconic X Factor voiceover Peter Dickson, a founder at eventbuddie.com, said that they found that many adults struggle to find like-minded people to attend certain social functions with - despite having a partner and a large circle of friends.
The golden rules of friendship are:
1. A great friend will be a good listener.
2. Give you an honest opinion.
3. Silences are never awkward with them.
4. They provide a shoulder to cry on.
5. They have shared interests with you.
6. You have the ability to not see each other for long periods but nothing changes.
7. They trust your opinion/listens to you.
8. They keep your secrets/business private.
9. They would change their plans to help you out.
10. They can tell when you are feeling down in the dumps, even when you haven't said anything
