What Does it Mean to Be Friendly?

What does it mean to be friendly?  I talk a lot about making new friends and building new relationships. This video offers tips on how to make new friends n the real world and the virtual world. Friendly means being intentional by desire for meaningful contact with others through being kind, courteous, and respectful with the gift of a smile.

Texts from the Proverbs say:

Proverbs 17 vs 17 - King James Version (KJV)
17 A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.

Proverbs 17 vs 9 
9 He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends.

Proverbs 27:6
Faithful are the wounds of a friend.
