Longevity, honesty and loyalty are characteristics of close friendships.

Longevity is an important characteristic because close friendships usually need a lot of time in order to become intimate.

Honesty is also required in order for a close friendship to last, as good frienships cannot be based on lies. So, honesty is one of its characteristics as well.
