minus-squareSteve@communick.newslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·30 days agoThat’s the kind of question where almost everyone will give you the same answer. A friend will say you’re friends, because you are. Non-friends will say you’re friends; because either they want to take advantage, or don’t want to offend.
minus-squareBoomkop3@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·29 days agoPeople tend to answer honestly in my experience. Those who lied and became friends after a while, that’s just a friend gained. As for taking advantage, I guess that depends on the person. I’m not particularly vulnerable, as I set the same standards for friends and strangers.
