      Yeah I know not to just come out asking them these three questions. I just had the thought of what kind of questions you could ask to quickly and greatly understand the kind of person in front of you.

        But that very impulse is inimical to making friends. You make friends by being open to making friends, and by being interested in other people, regardless of whether they are ‘friend material.’

        You shouldn’t even be assuming you know or can predict what makes someone friend material for you. One can be surprised.

        Actions speak louder than words. How about three questions to ask yourself?

        1. Do I feel better when I have been with them?
        2. Do they respect me?
        3. Do I respect them?
