classification of friendship

We could classify friendship into  strangers,acqaintances,friends or lover.For clarity and due to the frequent misuse of words.let's take sometime to clearly define these terms for the purposes of readers.
Stranger: people are said to be complete stranger when both parties don't know a thing about each other.example:she might have seen him around,heard about or watched a film featuring him.Nevertheless if she does not have the same measure of information concerning him,then they are "partial stranger".

           Acquaintance: This is a sernario where both parties have mutual but general information about each other.It is a relationship without much depth,barely going beyond exchanging greetings and general comments.Acquaintances often share a common neighbourhood,offices,place of recretion,religious gathering etc. They have no in-depth knowledge of one another. The are similar With each other,ofter with surface  interactions and nothing more. Usually people like this saying"we are just casual friends".
             Intimate: The is a close and personal relationship,it implies a private interaction between people where hopes,aspirations,flaws,and dreams can be shared in a relaxed atmosphere. The parties are free to be themselves without the fear of being judged or misunderstand. Some people may call the type of relationship"platonic". It is important to note that there is no form of sexual relationship between them in a platonic relationship, even if they are in love .
              Lovers: This relationship depicts people who share a mutual physical attraction. They may share other  common interest,fundamentally,they enjoy and ecourage physical emotion hook-ups. Traditionally when the term "lover" is used people think of two people who are having sex,but being inlove does not necessarily mean that sexual intimacies are explored. On the other hand people are beginning to have sex without any intimate knowledge of each other.Nonetheless, thehighest form of relationship is intimate friends who consummate sex under the rules of commitment,honesty,Genuine love,and mutual respect under parental,religious,and societial blessings. This is the love-sex-commitment triangle.
Note: The friendhip formation principles postulates that two individuals must be willing to divulge personal information in a polite manner that encourages mutual interaction.
