    They are reliable and show up (and mostly on time). From big events to small everyday hangouts, time is the most valuable thing we have. If someone is willing to share their time with me, it shows me how much they actually care about the relationship.

    Reaching out from time to time, initiating conversation, sending a random stupid meme, something, anything to just keep communication and contact functioning.

    Respecting my boundaries. If someone knows that a certain thing like ribbing me or making some unsolicited criticism annoys me and they still do it, they’re not good friends and I start reconsidering my relationship with them. Those who respect my boundaries and limits know they’ll get that in return and have become by best mates for years.
