Don't jump to conclusions about someone being a "good friend" until you really get to know them. When i meet someone I connect with I basically tell myself that they have the possibility of BECOMING a good friend AFTER I really take time to get to know them. You can never really know that quickly. It takes time to truly KNOW if good friend compatibility exists or not.

This also eliminates emotional rollercoaster feelings of thinking someone is a good friend then finding out they aren't like what you hoped they were like when you first met them. It is a much more functional way of relating to other people
