Acquaintance, Friend, Close Friend, Best Friend

Where does one stop and the next begin ?

There are people whom you don't meet for years, but as and when you do meet the years just seem to melt away.

There are people whom you meet everyday, but everytime you try to start up a conversation it never seems to get beyond initial pleasantries.

When does someone you know become someone you can talk to ? Is it a matter of convenience ? It must be a result of a lot of things coming together.

I dont know. But would be nice to know.

nice analogies atleast to start with :) ... everything is fine except i'm not big on soulmate ... i think one can love/like/admire/whatever more than one person in the same way.
