1. What makes a friend different from an acquaintance? Sex (?)

2. What happens when you and your friend have a fight? Is that person still your friend? How do you try to resolve the conflict? It depends. If I'm fighting with a girl, she gets angry and it takes awhile to resolve. She'll be my friend eventually, it just takes time. If it's with a guy, it's generally not a big deal.
