It may sound cliché, but true friends are hard to come by these days. Sure, on the outside it may appear you've found a genuine person, but with all the technology and social media we live with it's easy for someone to post subliminal status updates and talk about you behind your back. It's safe to say that if you hold on to a friend for more than 3 years and haven't had any significant problems with them, you've got a pretty good thing going. Have you found a friendship you think will last for life? These 26 signs are good indicators you just might have found the Kimmy Gibbler to your D.J. Tanner.

They are the one person you can count on to take away your stress and make you laugh when all you want to do is scream. Your relationship is built on trust and love and that's why it is one that will last a lifetime.
