The first of the 7 types of friends is the acquaintance. Acquaintances are people you don’t know very well, but that you meet frequently enough that they are more than strangers to you. Maybe they’re a friend-of-a-friend that you meet at parties, or maybe a stranger who goes to the same Wednesday dance class that you do and you talk to on occasion. There are a lot of possibilities when it comes to acquaintances because they can either evolve into casual or close friends, or they may stay simply as someone you chat with from time to time. Either way, acquaintances are blank slates with hundreds of possibilities, and it’s good to fill your life with as many acquaintances as possible – you never know if one will become something more!
