i) business friends:
E.g. Gena buys her scone and coffee at the same corner bakery each day and gets to know the owner.

ii) pleasure friends
e.g. Fred always goes fishing with Ralph.

iii) companion friends

These may be instances of friendship rather than relations of convenience (the kind of relation I have with the guy who sells my garden supplies, or repairs my car).

The marks of friendship:

the parties care about one another’s well-being

the parties derive enjoyment from each others company

the parties prefer being with each other on occasions to being alone or participating in a mere relationship of convenience
