Timepass friends

Timepass friends can be defined as those friends who you hang out with not because they are great friends or because you click with them, they are the people who you would not be friends with if you had the other group of friends who you really think of as 'friends'. You can never have a singular timepass friend, they always come in a group. 
Why is 'timepass friends' an offensive term? I think I am a timepass friend to many people in many groups. I don't mind that at all. Its not that I don't want  to make new good friends, its just that making new good friends takes a while and maybe eventually someone from your group of timepass friends will make it as your good friend. 
Maybe it is my fault, maybe I am being to reserved and I am not letting my guard down, but I have never been away from my good friends. I have always had a best friend and a group of good friends. I have never had, nor been a timepass friend before I moved to college, but I like being and having timepass friends. It gives me a new sense of privacy and personal space. It enables me to identify with a group and yet not. Its interesting and confusing...I certainly am confused right now.

Why are you confused??

As you said everyone has time pass friends, though they don't call them as such :D


I guess most of your good an d best friendship started from time pass friends ...something to think about eh ? :P

The term is past time. My 10 year old sister just corrected me and now I am correcting you to get back. Feeling much better now. Really sorry though. I know what you mean. But it is not always true i guess. only good friends remain yo. OThers dont deserve to be catagorized.
