Friends are important no matter what type they are. You need a variety of people in your life. But make sure there is at least one fun friend. They often get taken for granted because of their carefree demeanors. Even though fun friends are perhaps the most important of them all.

1. They know how to make you happy.

The fun friend knows how to put aside the problems from work, school, family, and friends. They see you and want to do anything that involves smiling, laughing, and overall having a good time.

2. They never shy away from trying new things.

They are adventurous and willing to explore new activities. You may even have to be the voice of reason when they want to try something crazy.

3. They are never boring.

There is never a dull moment when you spend time with somebody who knows the importance of having fun. They will be sure to keep you entertained.

4. They know how to make you smile.

Do not underestimate the importance of smiling. Not only will it make you feel better but it is contagious. Your happiness will radiate out of you and back to them.

5. They always cheer you on.

The excitement comes from trying new things. They are not focused on if you succeed or fail. As long as you try and are not afraid to keep trying new things, they are always supportive.

6. They have the best sense of humor.

Whether you are trying to be funny or not, they are sure to crack a few jokes of their own. It is not that they see life as a joke but see that everything does not need to be serious all the time.

7. They know how to make the best memories.

They are all about having a great time even if you are just staying in for the night. There is not a single time you spend with them that is not memorable.

No matter what the situation they are always ready to have fun with you.
