Abstract

Friendship is one of human most precious relationship which is voluntary and built in the principle of being there for each other. To establish an intimate relationship, each has to know the other better so the impersonal relationship will turn to personal through some stages.

The research uses case study methods with qualitative approach and post-positivist paradigm. The data were gathered through observation, indepth interview and document study, and presented in a descriptive manner. The subjects of this study are three friendships between opposite gender.
