People chose their friends for many different reasons. Some seek someone who is intelligent. Others want their friends to be reliable. While many of us prefer their friends to have sense of humor. However, the characteristic, I seek most in a friend, is reliability.  

The reason why I consider reliability so important is that along with my family friends are the closest people I have around me. Therefore, I want to be able to rely on them as I always rely on my family.   When do we need our friends most? I would answer: when we are in trouble, or experience some difficulties, or we are truly unhappy. That is why, I always expect help, or advice, or some understanding from a real friend. But I can call `real friends` only people that have proved I can rely on them; moreover, I can trust them without reserve. 

In addition, I think that reliability is the most important in friendships because to be reliable means also to be tactful, to be able to keep secrets and to be ready to give hand in tough moments. What is more, real friends should depend on each other in any situation. Furthermore, if my friend is reliable I expect that he or she would never mislead me.  

Of course, I appreciate friends who are intelligent or have sense of humor. It is always better to keep around me people I can talk to about everything or I can have fun and laugh with.  

I truly believe that the most important characteristic of a friend is reliability. But if someone possesses a lot of these qualities: intelligence, sense of humor and reliability this person will be the best friend the man can ever have.
