Smoking or not smoking

Drinking or not drinking.



Add to the list if your think of something.


non-condescending

they are not dream slashers

like minded/similar interests

to name a few but I tend to agree with some of the posters in that friendships tend to evolve. You get a sense of acceptance when a person passes by your home with a smile and a golfcart asking you to accompany them to where ever just to spend some time with you or shoot the breeze.
I think that's really cool.
