A strange bond between two people. Sees no face, color, weight or sex. Ignore concepts and defects. One line, close, but concrete, separating it from love.
How can two people meet and become inseparable friends? There isn’t a pheromone for the friendship. The connection is completely mental, because it also ignores the physical. There is no person who chooses to be friends only thin, beautiful or brunettes one. It’s not appearance that appeals to you by the person, is the idea (or ideas) that comes with it. Feelings that take you back to it, even if only to remember when they were together.

People know each other so often for what brings them together, the similarities. A game, a club, a football team, a classroom, a point of view. Connected to like-minded minds. There is a link that makes you want to be near that person, even though there is no verbal communication. Simply a sign that one understands what others have to say. People who know each other do not need even half word. A look, a gesture. And the message is understood.
Over time, even that which separates them, the differences, unites them. The discussions, which may be interrupted by periods in which one does not speak to each other, make them think and open your eyes to other views, which help to evolve. It's almost like a couple fights that, by the way also tend to make it up with a good pair that I value.
The friendship and love really intertwine. The couple in love, but are not friends, not really love, just make chemical interactions (or physical). A couple (this includes same-sex) friends really like, and some become in love (or just find out). The love of friends is not the same as a couple, although some cases can prove otherwise, that's beyond the material and below the mental.
The theory of mate, which says we're androgens connected with our pair and we were separated and then justifies the search for a soul mate. But not the friendship. Perhaps other androgens with whom we talked have become our friends now. "And to be honest, I do not care."
