Friendship

I am sorry to announce that I am still here, due to the fact that I have a haircut tomorrow and therefore cannot return to my beloved river. In the meantime today I went to the pool with my friend, and we were discussing her boyfriend. 

During the conversation, I was unsure whether or not to refer to him as my friend. I mean, they've been dating for like a year, and I've hung out with them lots of times, including going to the pool, a haunted house on Halloween, and having several bonfires and playing Truth Or Dare. 

But at the same time, I only see him around her. I don't text him, I don't talk to him on Facebook (due to the fact that I don't have one), and I had never met him before their relationship started.

So I'm not sure. After you meet someone, when do you start calling them your 'friend', as opposed to just 'oh I know that person'? Where is the friendship line drawn? It's endlessly interesting to me.
