Add up your points to find out if your girl is a friend or a fremeny

If she scored 9 to 11: She's a True Friend
Your girl has your best interests at heart. She always tells you like it is, even when you don't want her to hear it and she's there to lift you up, not bring you down.

If she scored 12 to 15: Keep Her In Your Address Book
She may not always act right, but she's not out to bring you down and she wants to be a good girlfriend. That said, watch out because even if she doesn't want to, your friend might be affecting you negatively. You don't need to write her off, but do take a look at your relationship and make sure it's working out for you.

If she scored 16 to 18: Foe Fo Sho
Why are you friends with this girl? No really, you need to ask yourself what makes your relationship work. You may find that she is always putting you down to make herself feel better or is she is trying to pull you down to where she is so she can have some company in the misery box. You may need to face facts that you have a frenemy. Posted By: anita moore
