Qualities I respect, and I respect different things about each of the friends I have, so I don't really have specific criteria. I also don't have much interest in having casual friends.

For starters, casual and good friends need to have some common ground with me, similar likes, dislikes, hobbies, activites, etc. For me it seems like I've almost grouped my friends. Certain friends will just call me up to play ball (I'm not the most vocal on the court to say the least), a couple others will call to go drinking, and so on and so forth. What's weird is that these groups don't overlap for the most part.

Common interests, same sense of humour, similar beliefs, not too outgoing.. I like people who actually like to sit down and talk. I like doing things too, going places together and whatever else but I really like people who are friendly enough with you that they're 100% fine with just sitting and chatting with you, and not doing anything else. I'll actually get on really well with some outgoing people but the trouble with these types of people is that they'll want to hang out with big groups of people and do a lot of things and never really just slow down and enjoy each other's company.
They'd also have to be understanding and patient (the best friend's I've had, have had those two qualities..). |

I've never looked for friends for some reason. (Ah yeah, could be the moderately severe ASD.)

Common musical taste is a must, loyalty, off-beat sense of humor, open-mindedness, honesty, and someone who is complex and multifaceted. Does such a person even exist?

I don't really know. Sometimes we just click and become friends.

With both casual and good friends, I just ask that they care whether I live or die, that they are open-minded and that they don't do stupid things (like drinking and driving or other criminal activities.) I guess my expectations are too high though because I can't seem to make any friends!

Honesty
Loyalty Openness Good humored Can be silly... and serious Common interests Spiritual (preferred but not an absolute requirement) And (of course) trustworthiness. I prefer a few "good" friends, as opposed to a multitude "casual" friends.

Friendship is not something to "look for". It's something that just happens. You meet someone, find you have something in common with them, spend some time together and eventually become friends. Sometimes you drift apart and sometimes you become closer. Its even possible to fall in love with a friend.

I am good with anyone that has a positive outlook. If they practice positive thinking- I can find a common ground with them. So in other words, I like to surround myself with positive people doing positive things with their life.
