Force 1: Time Spent Together(Accumulation)
- The simplest and most obvious force that forms and sustains a friendship is time spent together.
- One study estimates that it takes 40 to 60 hours together within the first six weeks of meeting to turn an acquaintance into a casual friend.
- So friendships unsurprisingly tend to form in places where people spend a lot of their time anyway: work, school, church, extracurricular activities.
- In other circumstances, those hours get put in really quickly.
