First of all, I think everyone have the three common and important relationships in our lives. The three major types of relationships is friendships, romantic relationships and family relationships.

As with any relationship, friendships bring support and joy and occasionally strife. Friendship is an interpersonal relationship between two persons that is mutually productive and characterized by mutual positive regard (such as trust, emotional support and sharing interest).
In fact, every friendship are different. Somehow people don't know how to distinguish among the three major types of friendships.
The first types of friendship is the friendship of reciprocity. In my opinion, this types of friendship is the most perfect of friendship. This friendship is characterized by loyalty, self-sacrifice, mutual affection and generosity. This types of friendship is also based on equality. Every person will share equally in giving and receiving the benefits and rewards of the relationship.The second types of friendship is the friendship of receptivity. This types of friendship is an imbalance in giving and receiving. One person is the primary giver and one the primary receiver. This is the friendship tat may develop between teacher and students or between doctor and patient. That's a difference in status is essential for the relationship of receptivity to develop.
The friendship of association is a transitory one. It can be described as a friendly relationship. There no great loyalty, no great trust, no great giving and receiving. For example, classmates, neighbors, coworkers.

Furthermore, there a few of reasons that we seek out and close relationships. The first reason is utility. Individual who may have some special talents, skills or resources that can help you achieve your specific goals and needs. For instance, those who good in English may teach you that subject.Affirmation is individual who affirm your personal value and help you to recognize your attributes. For example, someone who would help you look more clearly your leadership abilities.
The next reason is ego support. Individual who behave in supportive and encouraging and helpful manner. For example, you will look friendships with people who will help you view yourself as worthy.
Stimulation is someone introduces you to new ideas and help you expand your worldview
The last reason is security. Individual who does nothing to hurt you or to emphasize or remind attention to your weaknesses.
We can distinguish three main stages of friendship development. The first stage of friendship development is obviously an initial meeting of some kind (Initial contact and acquaintances). The first and important impressions are formed. Important to stay open and welcoming of the presence of your new acquaintance.
Then, each others will slowly become casual friendship. In this second stage, the dyadic consciousness will takes place. Sometimes, each others will doing somethings together.
In this last stage of close and intimate friendship, there an intensification of the casual friendship. The most intimate forms of togetherness.
The friendship will be influenced by your culture, gender differences and technology. In short, different cultures can be bring about a different meaning to friendships and relationships. Obviously, friendships are closer in collectivist cultures than individualist cultures. Members of collectivist culture are more better and having more friends than individualist cultures. On the other hands, members of individualist cultures are more having a desire to excel than other people. In their minds, they think that the less friends they have, the more chance of getting a promotion on workplace.
