You read it right. Science has figured out the number of hours that you have to spend with another person in order for the two of you to become friends.
Scientists have calculated the number of hours of quality time it takes to progress through each stage of friendship, and it's so precise that you can pretty much set your watch by it. Want to level up an acquaintance to a casual friend? It's going to take between 40 and 60 hours... Double that for a true friendship, the "increasingly elaborate insults toward your freshly minted ex" kind.
Unfortunately, you've gotta act fast. Most friendships develop within three to nine weeks of meeting,..
And that’s not all. What you do and what you talk about with that other person also matters. But no worries, Cracked.com has got you covered. Learn more about how to make friends over at the site.
