Sounds more like a best friend, and for this defintion...none! :)

I have a problem with the word love used to describe the emotion between friends. I have a few life long friends that are, just that, friends, not lovers. Most long time friends are people who share a common way of life or philosophy.or mutual interests. Generally speaking this type of friend does know a lot about you, maybe not everything, but he is still your friend because he is pursuing the same paths.There is that old bromide; A real friend is not the one who bails you out of jail but is the one who is sitting in jail with you, saying; "Buddy, wasn't that one hell of a night out?"

Yes, but that is only one of many of valid definitions of friendship.

Actually, no one can possibly know "all about" someone else without being that person, so you need to modify your definition.

I slightly agree. There are those friends you've had to let go because of their poor decisions, but will still have love for them. It may be on an acquaintance level of love, but it's still there. I have a few true friends.

Respectfully, I disagree. Your definition precludes the option to make new friends as you go along. I have many friends who love and accept me without knowing all about me.

Yes and No, depending on what your definition of love is. If love is doing what is best for their friend,yes. If it is a feeling that they have for their friend, no.

I agree and don't agree , as friend can sometimes can be, very demanding of your time, can use you as a prop, take your energy from you. Sometimes friends are users and not givers.

Several.

yes i do
