1.Show that you really care.
True friendship involves commitment.In other words,a good friend feels a responsibility
toward you, and he really cares about you. Of course ,such a commitment is two-way,and it requires hard work and sacrifice on both sides. But the rewards are worth the effort.

2.Be a good communicator.
A true friendship can't flourish without regular communication. So talk together about the interest you share .listen to what your friend has to say and respect his/her opinions. Whenever possible,commend and encourage him/her. At times, a friend may need advice or even more correction and that may not be easy to give. However, loyal friend will have the courage to point out a serious fault and offer tactful guidance.
3.Have a realistic expectation.
The closer we get to a friend, the more likely we are to see his/her flaws. Our friends are not perfect but neither are we.Therefore, we should never expect or demand perfection from the people we befriend. Rather, it is good to cherish their virtues and to make allowances for their mistake
4.widen your circle of friends
True, we need to be selective about the people we befriends But that does not mean narrowing our choice of friends to those of a certain age or upbringing. Taking an interest in all the people of all ages ,cultural background and nationalities can truly enrich our lives
