We all enjoy having friends - and few of us are without at least one friend we would call 'special'. But just what is this thing called friendship?

Well, for a start, friends come in all shapes and sizes - young and old, tall and short, dishy-looking and plain. Of course, it's not really what a friend looks like on the outside that counts at all it's what a friend is like on the inside. And I don't mean their hearts, lungs and stomachy bits, either. Friendship is about feelings. A friend is someone that you know really well and who knows you really well, too. A friend is someone who you can trust and a friend is someone who can trust you, too. A friend is someone who knows about your good bits, and about your not so good bits and a friend is someone whose good bits and not-so-good bits you know just as well.

Are you beginning to see a common thread here? Yes - friendship is a two-way game. You can't have a special friend unless that friend also has a special friend. You. And that is where things sometimes begin to go wrong. For your friend might not see you as quite as special as you see him or her. So how can you know if both you and your friend are playing a singles or a doubles match...?
