Humm, I think the only real way that a friendship would break off is if the common bond that the relationship was founded on isn't there anymore, and no new ones have been formed. If that's the case, then what does the relationship have to stand on anymore other than a history, which sometimes is enough to spawn new bonds, but sometimes it isn't, and if you can't find any common ground, where are you going to meet up? Also, I figure a lot of friendships that are formed fast are just because two people or three or whatever) have a lot in common, and just didn't know it before, so if you have a lot in common with someone, doesn't that make for good common ground and bond formation and all? What promped this entire discussion anyways Sarah?
